What are we doing in the draft?

If I had to take a random shot in the dark here 

1. Lawrence 
2. Wilson 
3. M.Jones 
4. Pitts 
5. Chase 
6. Trade down or ALA WR 
7. Slater 
8. Fields

So you think Burrow is going to get what he wants?  I imagine that was a bit tough to decide---

If the Niners take Jones and Atlanta takes Pitts (I think that is what both teams do), then the Bengals will take Chase or an OT.  Miami and Detroit will get trade up offers.

Do we love Lance or Fields enough to move up?  I do not think so and hope we do not.

I feel you, but I would not want ATL to grab him. Can you imagine what their weapons would look like then? Scary for a few years to come. Good luck with that.

We have Chinn.  Not as worried as I might otherwise be about Pitts.

Who trades up to 8?

Someone below us, lol. I haven't researched it that would just be my preference. If 5 qbs go by 7 Someone will trade up for pitts surtain or an ot. That's the only way fields or Lance won't be there.

WFT or Broncos would be the two biggest contenders to make a move like that IMO.

If either Lance or Fields are there while Cinci is on the clock, I think that we absolutely do love Fields or Lance enough to trade up. I'm getting the sense from @saX man and @Verge and Alaina Getzenberg that we like both QBs more than we're letting on, and I believe we're going to jump at the first opportunity to get a franchise QB within reason. Moving up a few spots should be a relatively small price to pay.

I do think if Fields/Lance are still available at 5, we call Cincy hoping to move up. I do think Cincy really, really wants Sewell or Chase at 5, so they might stick to their guns and keep the selection. 

I do think we would then try to trade up to 6. Denver, New England, WFT and Pittsburgh all make me nervous. 

Staying at 8 does get us a franchise cornerstone. Whether that is a QB, Pitts, Sewell/Slater, Surtain/Horn or Parsons. 

I think we would have no problem sending our 3rd rounder to NYJ for Darnold. 

The only "wrong move" would be taking Mac Jones, IMO.

I will do a mock the week of the draft. 

 

 

Yep.

Panthers are going to pass on Sewell? I never thought it was a option months ago, now looks like hes going to hit the teens. Opt-out reaaly hurts.

    • They won my vote of confidence for this year
    • I really like the way this team is trending. Morgan and Canales rookie campaign saw them do some questionable picks but, they also did some really good things. Especially addressing the offensive line.  Young had such a disastrous rookie season where his confidence was nowhere to be seen.  You can attribute part of this to a terrible offensive line.  So, we focused on the O-line.   We then brought in several defensive free agents that were supposed to compliment Brown.  Once Brown went down those players could not hold the line.  2025 we focused on defense in Free Agency and brought in several good players.  We then added more talent in the draft.  I think we have competition in several areas where Vets are not guaranteed to be starters.  Our offensive line is pretty set with some good backups.  Our defensive line is going to be a war for who comes out to be the starters.  All in All, we are leaps and bounds much better than 2023 roster.  Canales made some rookie head coach mistakes but grew as the season progressed.  He got our QB, who was starting to look like a huge bust, playing with confidence and poise.  Now it appears Young is moving upwards.  Maybe he is a QB whisperer.  After Young started to play better our offense was fun to watch.  Morgan knows football and knows what he wants in his players.  It appears to me that not only are these players he's drafted really good and got great value for them, but they are also high motor, intense players. Our defense, in the past, was always the key to our success.  I think Morgan is building a great defense. I know it is too soon to tell but I believe we may have a tandem that will be around a long time.  It would be nice to see Morgan/Canales be in the same class as Lynch/Shanahan and Beane/McDermott.   I know many Huddlers will overreact, but I truly believe we have a tandem that will be around a long time. TIME WILL TELL. Go Panthers
