Draft is O-Line heavy. Take Pitts at 8 then spend the next 3 picks on the line. Can never have enough weapons. Also there are some free agent tackles left that are still decent (Villanueva, Wagner, Okung)

This is one of the reasons why Ive balked at the idea of trading up or trading away a bunch of picks for a quarterback.

In a draft that's said to have one of the better draft pools for offensive lineman in a while, I'm kind of hesitant about giving up picks that could be used to build our line.

better question: OT or CB

Is it?

Drafted a few guys last year, they need to step up. Can add a CB later in the draft for more competition.

Or take a CB early next year. Building for the future and OT is hard to come by.

Poor question, the chance of all 3 being there at 8 is slim.

Every year the huddle argues who they want out of guys that most likely won’t be there .

Better question would be Slater, Smith, Parsons, or Surtain?

 

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

for the "Panthers have plenty of weapons already" argument:

  • their unquestioned best 3rd down threat last year has moved on to WFT.
  • Robby Anderson's deal expires after this upcoming season
  • DJ Moore has a 5th year option due next season, and a big contract negotiation somewhere around the corner
  • McCaffrey's deal expiration lines up nicely with a 2021 rookie deal.
  • every other skill position player is either unproven or is a complementary piece at this point.

I think all 3 of the prospects listed in Voth's poll would be a good pickup at #8, for the record.

Sewell/Slater and then Mond in round 2. 

I can live with that. Especially if Mond Sucks we can give him the Jimmy Clausen treatment in 2022.

That is a wasted pick. Use it on a potential starter, not a gamble.

We could easily get a franchise OG with that 2nd round pick.

I can understand perhaps picking one in the 3rd or later. Not necessarily agree with it but we do need to keep in mind that our #2 and #3 QB's are pretty bad too. 

Understood.

Fitterer has mentioned being a proponent of the "get a quarterback every year" philosophy, though of course that doesn't always mean drafting one.

Sewell/Slater for sure. 

Panthers are slowly leaking more and more that QB won't be the pick. It's either a smokescreen or they are trying to temper fan's expectatinos

 

I mean the 49ers changed the landscape of the Draft this week. 

You have to accept that unless you truly think 4/5 QBs are worth taking with the first 8 picks we're going elsewhere.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks are Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team) seem to be locks. Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?

      I had this discussion with my buddy yesterday afternoon. If we start this season very slow(especially with the schedule being what it is) and then "rally" in the second half to get to 4-7 wins, I am already gonna be pretty heated at the staff overall. I know we are a very bad roster but I am not gonna keep excusing these slow season starts WITH late season rallies. That's a coaching staff problem, IMO. It's more excusable to just stink gate to gate, IMO. At least you can understand why.
