I wouldn’t. You’d give up two more firsts to get Sewell when Slater is all but guaranteed to be there at 8? He’s a LT, not anywhere near the value of basically 3 firsts. People go LT crazy. A QB is the only thing you go that all in for and based on SF’s overpay, this is Atlanta saying hey, we’ll trade back if someone wants to overpay.

I get that.  I guess what I'm trying to say is I would value Sewell before any QBs left after Lawrence or Wilson.  In fact, I'd take him where we stand now before them.

 

Personally I'd rather trade back a couple times in the 1st and stockpile picks for this year and next and ride with Bridgewater.  Too many holes to fill.

 

I wonder what we could get from New England to move up into our spot?  Then see if Jacksonville would trade up from the top of the 2nd to 15.

If Carolina was sitting at 4 and ATL called to move up, we would drain their assets to face Fields/Lance for the next decade.

It sucks bc DEN could very easily move up to 4 and then the QBs go 1-2-3-4. Gotta hope SF truly takes Jones at 3 if we want Fields or Lance.

1. Atlanta is not going to trade to a division rival.

2. Denver sitting 1 spot behind us is hungry for a QB.  They were mentioned in the Watson stuff and put a Competitive offer toward Stafford as well.  

Yep might as well go ahead and trade for Darnold or Minshew. If not we’re running with Teddy for another year

Like I said, it all boils down to price, will teams want to pay the cost to move UP for the 4th QB. IF Fields or Lance gets to #5 I could see us trying to jump, swapping firsts and adding our 3rd to move up 3 spots. 

We could easily trade back at the top of Rd 2, swapping 2nd's and adding a 3rd early 4th to keep our total pick count the same depending on the value.

Not until draft night.  The hand-wringing over all 4 QBs being gone is a bit overblown.  It certainly could happen, but I say the odds that either Lance or Fields is still there is higher than both being gone.  That's why we wait.  We know Sam's market and we certainly can trade a 3rd.

That's nowhere near what it would cost to move to 5.  Just to get close to moving with Cincy, we'd need to offer our 1st and 2nd this year.  Going off strict value we might get a 3rd or 4th back from Cincy, but because other teams will be calling Cincy and because the pick is a QB, in your scenario we'll probably have to offer 1 & 2 and get nothing else or perhaps offer future considerations.

I am not advocating for this scenario.  Just saying that in presenting scenarios we need to be realistic.

I can see that but I’d take either of them (not Jones) at 8 just because there is a slew of decent Ts at the top of round 2. There is no QB close to Fields and Lance at the top of round 2.

Not even considering a QB in the 1st or where we're at in the 2nd.  Remember I said ride with Bridgewater.  If we traded down out of our spot and got another bottom 2nd or top 3rd round I'd consider Trask.

This ^^^ IMO the media is using the availability of QBs to drive media consumption whether it's for clicks, or tv ratings. 

The value teams would have to give up can't be overlooked, we're not the only teams with holes. Each of these teams has a QBs in place with NFL experience / talent. 

Locke on a DEN team that's not decimated by injuries could make a push as a WC team. OAK and LAC still have a ways to go as well the main comp is KC. 

Fitz & Allen in WAS seem like the move this year, doesn't make a ton of sense to trade UP for a guy that will be the 3rd QB. If it was just Allen I could buy this a bit more.

Newton in NE with what they've done could also push for a playoff spot, and given theirs woes in the draft in recent years it makes more sense for them to keep acquiring picks so they have more chances to hit.

8 >>> 5 is not nearly the jump from where SF was (12) to get to #3. We're talking a 9 spot jump versus 3. 

Pick 5 is worth - 1700

Pick 8 is worth - 1400 and our 3rd is worth 225 (1625)

If this required our 4th (68) or 5th (29.4)

Those are throw ins when talking about a QB, and we can make up for some of that via trading back at the top of Rd 2. Realistic enough for you 🤙

(I looked into all of this before when talking about a potential trade to get to 3 or 5 weeks before SF pulled the trigger -- that was the scenario for us that was going to require a future 1st -- IF we did that to jump three spots, that would be overkill, and to be fait given the market it COULD happen, but when talking about the points; the cost isn't large to move up three spots)

1. Locke is not the answer... the franchise knows that.
2. WFT also spent 8 million on Heinecke, but are still stating that they are considering drafting a qb in the draft

3. NE has been at every QB pro day so far... they are drafting a QB.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      TAMU had such a weird draft. Usually you'd be bragging your ass off about three DL drafted in the top two rounds except that the narrative around all three was about how badly they were misused by TAMU. LOL

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By Icege · Posted

      Many Panthers fans are already excited about second-round selection Nic Scourton for a variety of reasons including but not limited to: the Panthers needed to recharge the position group, Scourton had a late first-round grade according to many (including the Panthers), and he fit this season's modus operandi of stopping the run now and forever. However, Scourton was seen early on as one of the top-3 EDGE guys in this class but fell due to not having quite the season at Texas A&M as he did prior at Purdue (his sophomore season). It's been revealed since then a few different things that speak to that dip in production... Texas A&M, for one, requires each player on their line to be able to hold two gaps. This also explains why we saw low production across the board from the other two TA&M prospects but were still being heavily touted. Scourton was also said to have bulked up to 280lbs in order to fulfill this role and noticeably suffered from it. He's expected to play this season with Carolina at 255 - 260 which is very different from most situations. In most situations, teams are wanting players to gain 15 - 30. Since Scourton is going to be playing at his Purdue weight, I thought it would make sense to dive more into that tape. Y'all... we might have gotten something special... Let's take a quick peek at the stats before we start drooling over some highlights. First, a summary of the last two seasons for Scourton: Second, the game splits: The first thing that pops up for me is how Scourton's sack numbers were cut in half his senior year. We've already pointed out issues with scheme that impacted the TA&M linemen from racking up numbers, but seeing the game splits it's clear that Scourton didn't exactly feast on inferior competition while at Purdue. He had two two-sack games (vs. Michigan (2023 - 2024 champs), Indiana) and a 10-tackle game (vs. Nebraska). I also see the 2024 games where he went up against two top-10 tackles (Will Campbell from LSU + Armand Membou from Missouri) that I watched leading up to the draft.  For those who just want a summary: Scourton looked elite at Purdue and is going to be rotating in often during his rookie campaign. I originally had him penciled in as the second-string, strong-side edge defender behind Clowney but I wouldn't be surprised to see the team have him and Pat Jones II moving around when they rotate in in order to find where Nic looks best. Here's a highlight reel to replace that Cialias you lost in your recliner tonight:   For those that want a little more: Below I'll be linking the linking the five games I've mentioned above. If you plan to watch all of them, I highly recommend going in the order listed as that will allow you to see him vs. Campbell and then Membou while dealing with the aforementioned things he dealt with at Texas A&M before seeing him look unstoppable in 2023 when he was allowed to play both at a comfortable weight and in a scheme that didn't require him two cover two gaps nearly every play. vs. Will Campbell (2024) vs. Armand Membou (2024) vs. Nebraska (2023) vs. Michigan (2023)   vs. Indiana (2023)

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      Yea, i honestly think he had almost as much say as Dan.  One of the main reasons I think that is Eager has said before he was ever with the Panthers, that you trade away picks for a qb and for any other position you do pick swaps, and that's exactly what we did.
