Panthers "focused in" on Pitts?

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. 

Hes 20 years old and already a bear. Slater looks in better shape currently.

Gotta think that would be a move to 6 as the Bengals rarely trade draft picks.  Doesn’t feel like Miami or Detroit really need TE as they have good ones now.  If he gets past 4 I think he probably is there at 8.

One of the reasons we traded for Darnold was that we would not have to trade up! 

If Fitterer trades up I will personally lop off my penis and feed it to my cat. 

Doctors Jung and Freud would like to have a word with you...

Ive seen somewhere the panthers had already meet with Pitts 3 times. History and recent history shows TE rarely get picked in the top ten. This draft has 4-5 QBs, 3 WRs, and 2 OT/OLmen that are ranked right next to Pitts or above. Its possible he will be passed over. Im a TE nut, but will not say a stud TE is worth more than a stud WR.

Who's playing left tackle in this scenario?

A second rounder or buy one next year. A Pitts mismatch type player at 8 only comes along once every CMC. To have both those players changes an organization. 
 

We have cap room for next year, a second round pick this year, and a first next year to address the LT. That’s three opportunities to get a longterm solution to LT in the next year. This is our only chance to get a TE with Hall of Fame ability.

It won't matter how many offensive weapons we have if we can't consistently protect Sam Darnold

True, this draft has some OT that *could start into the 5th. I have to tell myself the draft doesnt end in the 1st. This years' focus will be the first 3 picks(like most years), then the picture will be clearer.

    • 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.
