this is the literal opposite of what will happen 

 it's a long-standing and much mocked trend of the huddle for the Safe Expectations people to decry any player of value being long gone, and one of those players are always there

Aside from Quarterback panic I was pretty impressed that that thought process was scant this off season 

until you ruined it

I'm not one that thinks 15 players are going to be gone by pick 8 like a lot around here but I am pretty confident that 2/3 (Sewell, Pitts, and Slater) will be gone by 8.

Do you think 2/3 will be there at 8?  We can always look back after the draft at this thread.

Granted, we haven't been great at tight end, but we did just sign a decent one.

I don't think you can just broadly lump Pitts in with our other "weapons".  What we need is a red zone threat who can score TDs, and it isn't clear that we have one on the roster right now (outside of maybe CMC).  Pitts could offer unique, much needed utility there.

I don't think it's crazy to think the draft plays out something like this...

#1-4 QB's

#5 Chase

#6 Bama WR

That would leave at least 2/3 at #8

there's nothing that makes me ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY convinced that a consensus right tackle prospect will be gone by 8, nor would I feel inclined to take him if/when he is

the last thing we need is the team to blow a top 10 pick on a finance move-seeing slater as a great opportunity to not pay Moton and leaving us doing nothing more than ultimately treading water with this pick 

The QBs, Sewell, or I guess since we're having this conversation, Pitts, will be there

I would take Sewell over Pitts, but the Panthers are starting to show their hand imo. Based on what we've been doing lately, I think the Panthers think Sewell will be gone, and we don't want Pitts. That points to our Panthers thinking Trey Lance will be available, and I think that is the pick.

I just recently did my homework on Pitts and slater and both of them are legit.  Uf not qb i got

Sewell, Pitts, slater

The probably is determing if slater is a guard or OT in the league.  I would be excitied to have him but Pitts gets me REALLY excited for the offense.

I think Pitts will not make to 7 either.

So the following have 0 chance to be at 8 - Sunshine, Wilson, Jones

10%- Chase, Pitts, Waddle, Fields

50%- Lance, Sewell, Slater

Panthers should be aware......idk about Fritterererr or if Tepper demands a QB.

Pitts is unique though.  He is a legit offensive weapon.  And probably the 3rd best player in the draft if ranking them purely as BPA.  Which IMO is Trevor, Chase, Pitts. 

Can’t use him as a weapon if he has to stay in and block all the time...like Olsen had to do so many times for us (including the 2015 SB)

I didn't' say that I thought Slater would be gone by pick 8.

I said that between Sewell, Pitts, and Slater there is a very good chance 2 out of the 3 will be gone by pick 8.

Apparently you don't agree with that, which is fine, we'll see what happens.

You could be right. Lions seem like a real wildcard. They could go chalk and take Pitts/Sewell or they could take a WR or go defense or trade down with someone trying to get ahead of us for the 5th QB.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By frankw · Posted

      If you draft a guy who is healthy and has no concerns about that whatsoever and he goes out and tears his ACL in his first few games in the regular season on a physical play that's a freak accident. But when you trade up to draft an RB who is already rehabbing from a recent ACL tear and he spends the next several months continuing his rehab only to tear the same ACL again after less than a handful of regular season carries in a non contact circumstance that is no freak accident. That is a textbook example of why you do not do what we did. Particularly for what is now a plug and play position. And when you have the highest paid OL in the league over the next two years. None of that makes any logical sense. Legitimately it is and was some Scott Fitterer type foolishness. Now as for XL. The guy has not been committed to his craft. I think anyone with eyes on the situation can and would recognize that. However the warning signs were there. One season of legit production raw prospect that we knew would take time to develop etc. But Morgan and Bryce Young's own father were very high on him. I think in some capacity the reality of our limitation at QB is entering into the equation. Even TMac got a lot of flak over the course of his rookie season for not being able to haul in all of Bryce's passes. At the end of the day our fourth year QB also needs to do his part to maximize the talent we have available. As far as this year. Again. WR round 1 boils down to where are we going to get the touches for the rookie? That would require eating into not only our 8th overall picks touches but also our #2 WR whom oh yeah by the way was UNDRAFTED. I am happy to discuss WR prospects here. I was thrilled we invested what we did last year in TMac because it needed to be done and it made sense from all angles. But nowhere is it written in stone that you cannot draft a good or great WR outside of the first round. Except in the Panthers building apparently. That is not a good reflection on our scouts and front office let me tell ya. Because there's no way on this earth we are going to get back to relevancy and legitimate contender status if we can't pick some gems in the later rounds. Simple and plain.

      This is pretty accurate our offense needs more juice. I love Cooker but he’s not enough XL ummm we’ll see this year hopefully the third year WR thing hits him and he plays better but still not enough. Honestly we need look at the Eagles they just adds Wicks and Hollywood Brown to that core. That shows the level of talent needed to compete at a championship level this coming season. And this below is the real problem KC doesn’t seem to add that much to our offense. We Makai Lemon or defense at 19
