The Moment You Haven't Been Waiting For - My Three Round Mock Panthers Draft

If both Pitts/Sewell fall to 8 (unlikely but this is a message board) what would you do and why?

 

I'm taking Pitts.  He is a ultimate game changer and TEs are incredibly important in the NFL right now.

 

I think there are multiple starting LTs in rounds 1-3.  But Pitts is so far above any other TE.

Take Sewell. If he pans out, you have an elite LT which this team hasn't had in years. Other teams will also be looking to pick up those young and cheap LT options in the later rounds, so that means the Panthers might not be able to get one due to a run on them. Don't pass up the chance when you finally have it.

Yeah. Stop the bleeding. Draft a goddamned Left effing Tackle. One who always plays there! Not a guy with "traits". A full time left fugging tackle. BY GOD it's past time. Do what you have to, to get Sewell. IDGAF 

This fuggin 100! Not all positions need a hybrid talent! Give me a big ugly specialist in this position

My problem with taking an O lineman in the top 10 picks is ,, their legs/knees ( health ) are going to fail more often than someone like a PItts.  

I'm not sure who the " best player available "  will be at 8 ,  but with a first round pick, I think we should go in that direction. 

For those who might say , trade back and get another 2 ..   I ask, what teams are required to do that with us ??

He's not an in-line TE. 

He's wasted if you don't flex him out into space.

He can be both.  He is a willing blocker but not great technician yet.

And I'm sure he would be flexed in space often.  The 3 WR sets with 1 TE backside we ran with Olsen all the time was so effective.

Yep.  Either Slater or Sewell would be fine.  Both are natural born killers that want to rip your head off.  Yes please

https://www.profootballnetwork.com/top-9-offensive-tackles-2021-nfl-draft/

I want a Left Tackle selected with our #8 draft choice. This is an interesting article rating the top 9 offensive tackles in the draft.

They had Christian Darrisaw North Virginia Teck as the # 2 rated offensive tackle and Rashawn Slater North Western # 3.

I wonder how the Panthers Staff have them rated, since most of us think Rashawn Slater should be rated # 2.

    • Frank Reich, Ryan Poles get honest about challenges of developing No. 1 pick QB.  *Reich: My handling of offensive system "probably made it more difficult for Bryce (Young)" *Poles: From 24-25. tone changed from bridging Caleb Williams to 'tough love'   https://x.com/jfowlerespn/status/1957857880276705508?s=46
    • As bad as AR has been, the Panthers would’ve been better off right now, if they had stayed at #9 in 2023 and picked him instead of doing what they did.  At least this way, they would’ve only wasted one draft pick vs what they gave up to pick BY. And they would have kept the #1 pick in the 2024 draft. 
    • I felt pretty good about us making progress this season, surprising some people, and getting some more wins than last season going into it.  Now, after preseason, my expectations are much, much lower. I was talking with my friend who is a Bears fan, and we were discussing their drubbing of the Bills and how people try to dismiss it as “preseason, so it doesn’t count.”  It absolutely counts.  Not the wins or losses.  No one really cares about that.  But what the Bears are doing shows that even in a vanilla, non-specific scheme, they are executing at an elite level and they are disciplined.  It shows they are well coached.  They see growth in their players.  Versus us - hard to tell what we’re looking at because everything is a fuging mess.  In games we’re still undisciplined, be it penalties or assignments.  We do NOT execute.  We got random coaches calling plays that won’t be calling plays during the season, we have our players getting into fights in the last padded practice of the preseason, then we have Bryce and Chuba trying to correct it while our coach sat off to the side laughing.  To be clear, I like Canales.  He seems like a good dude.  But, it feels like we have very little direction and discipline.  You’re allowing a team who has been historically bad the last almost decade, with a losing culture that mostly bereft of talent to self-police?  You’re allowing subordinates to work in pet projects at the expense of getting valuable reps and evaluation of players in during games?     My friend literally brought up last night that when Ben Johnson got there he essentially put DJ Moore in notice because it was starting to be perceived that he was displaying some diva-behavior.  That’s leadership.  And they’re reaping the benefits early and setting a tone.  My friend said there is an excitement and confidence in and around their team that’s he’s never felt his entire life.  And here we are, sounding and looking like The Bad News Bears in our final week of training camp and preseason.  I literally stopped watching after halftime last week.  I used to watch every play faithfully, even in 2001 and 2010.  It was fun.  This isn’t.  We are bad and our administration keeps making bad decisions to compound things.  Reading poo like this today is just fuging deflating.
