Panthers "focused in" on Pitts?

Unless the Cowboys move up to get him. Pitts would be a great pick for us but personally if I couldn't get the 1st or 2nd best offensive lineman, then I'd take Pitts. "Owners of the 10th overall pick, the Cowboys would most likely have to trade up to land Pitts, the top-ranked tight end in the draft."

I mean we could find one second round right?  Not saying it’s going to happen but if we want Pitts why not wait to second?

Round 2 man

Like we did two years ago?

Every time we have an opportunity to possibly get a franchise left tackle, we find some excuse not to take them.

This is the year to break that trend.

Who's playing left tackle in this scenario?

Generally speaking, if we go non-LT R1, there's Jenkins, Mayfield, Cosmi, Radunz, a handful of LT potential picks we could make a slight trade up for. 

Darrisaw & Vera-Tucker are R1 but unsure how the rest shake out.

Thinking outside the box, I would not be dissapointed if we wound up doing something like:

1-Pitts/Waddle/Chase/Horn 2-Radunz/Cosmi/Mayfield

It seems like we may be coveting skills guys up high to maximize our playmaking potential.  We're a solid offense if Darnold doesn't fizzle out but we could use another special talent.

I think it would be unwise to take a TE in the top ten. And I know pitts is really special. It feels like a luxury pick when we have so many other holes in positions of high value. If all the top OTs and Qbs are gone I could maybe be ok with it. A trade up for Pitts? That would be horrible.

Highly highly doubt we take a QB at 8, regardless of whom is there. My opinion is that we’re gonna roll the dice with Sam this year for better or worse and we are in a sweet spot to land the top talent at whatever non-QB position we want. 

Agreed. Unless Wilson somehow made it to us, we aren’t looking for a QB in. the first two rounds anymore IMO. Sewell, Slater or Pitts are the only offensive moves I see us making at 8. Otherwise it’s defense or a trade back.

If Sewell is not there, I would go with Pitts.  If neither is there, I don't know.  I'm not crazy about Slater, and if Fields is there, we should trade with a team that wants him.

I don't understand the Sewell love-in.

If he was an inch taller and had longer arms I'd understand the whole furore about him, but as he's got very similar measurables to Slater I don't think there's too much separating them as prospects.

Yeah, you’re right, we cant draft any more OL in round 2.  Brilliant 

If we have an opportunity to get a premier left tackle that'll protect our quarterback for the next ten years, there's no way in hell we should pass on him.

    • The good news is that we are pretty uniquely well established to address all of our needs this season. We have $14m real cap space, and something like $40m in trade deadline cap space. Not sure exactly how that works out. But, we have the room to absorb any bad contracts. With recent rule changes regarding retention, that went into effect this season, we now have a huge advantage in the trade market.  On top of that, while we do have obvious needs, we also have a glut of talent in certain areas that we struggle to find ice time for. We are over-stocked on scrappy talented lil-guys, strong defensively sound 3rd liners and shutdown left shot dmen. Whether it's a package or separate deals, idk. But, one of each from Stank/Blake/Nads, Erob/Carrier/KK/Jank, and Walker/Nystrom; throw in some 1st round picks (and frankly any other prospects they want) and we should be able to come out with a 1b to pair with Bussi and either a 2c with size or a 2c and size.   TL/DR We got the money, you got the stuff?
    • I don’t  think 6’4 was ever considered small or undersized. Baby hands tho, yes that was his thing That’s an interesting idea, like an optical illusion? Sounds like you have personal experience with this! 
    • in the 25' draft the Carolina Panthers had hired Brandt Tillis someone who actually understood how to build a successful team & build through the draft .  this team was yes mismanaged for years prior to Brandt Tillis joining the team in 25' & rarely done anything right in the draft outside occaionaly getting lucky on an UDFA such as Jalen Coker who's dad coincidentally happened to be a huge Carolina Panthers fan, hint hint  ...just saying
