We’re sitting at 8, Lance, Wilson, Lawrence and Fields have all been taken.  Sewell, Pitts and Chase are also gone.  Mac Jones is still on the board. Washington and New England are both calling to get in front of Denver. All of a sudden our 8th pick holds a ton of value. We make the deal with New England. They give us 15 and 46 this year for number 8. 
 

15, 39 , 46 turns out to be Parsons, Eichenberg, and Trask

we then Trade Teddy to WFT for a 2022 4th post draft. 
 

That Darnold trade doesn’t looks so bad in this scenario. We essentially traded a 6th for a starter to take the reigns and either run with it or give us time to groom trask. 
 

 

Agree with this and could easily see this happening. But at the same time, part of me would just want Slater at 8 in this scenario and call it a day. Finally address LT with a first rounder.

Man, I came to this thread after getting the alert on my phone expecting some optimism. And what do I get?

"Ermahgerd! My second round pick next year!"

Seriously? After all the talk about how QB is the most important position in the league, and we need to trade the farm for a franchise QB, we get one for peanuts and all y'all can do is bitch?

This is fantastic news! We kept almost all of our draft capital this year. We can invest in offensive line, Linebacker, CB. All the positions we actually need rather than pining for the 4th or 5th best QB in the draft. Hell! This puts us in position to trade back with a QB hungry team and get ourselves two firsts next year! And y'all bitching about the 2022 Second Round pick?

Man this board is ridiculous sometimes.

A good QB would be important.

The coaching staff did their best, but they lacked the talent to make it in the NFL. Darnold is coming to a better team with a better coaching staff. What that will produce in the coming seasons is anyone's guess, but I have a bad feeling.

Even a slightly educated pessimist would believe that DJ Moore, Robby Anderson and Christian McCaffrey could be better weapons than La'Mical Perine, Breshad Perriman and Jamison Crowder.

I'm neither.

My take right now is just to hope for the best.

Sam is a relatively low risk when it comes to what the Panthers have given up to get him.  He potentially has a high reward.

Worst case scenario, Sam doesn't work out, but at least the Panthers haven't given up the farm and crippled the team for years to get him.

No disagreement there.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
