Panthers "focused in" on Pitts?

A first round LT isn’t our only solution to solve the LT problem and it’s not the only opportunity. 

Well, oddly enough, drafting the consensus top rated LT in the first round is the most direct and obvious solution.  Strange but true.

I'm down with this.  Dallas has two third rounders, one being a comp pick #99.  That is spot on for the value of this trade.  The first of their third rounders is much too pricey and they would balk.

If the QBs and Sewell are gone, we trade back with Dallas pick up an extra third rounder and draft Slater at #10.

Interesting trade back but I have also seen mocks where both Sewell and Slater are gone before 8, but that scenario is where and why Pitt and Chase are there at 8.  Slater may not be there at 10.

IF both Sewell and Slater are gone at 8, take Darrisaw at 10, which feels too soon?  Darrisaw at 10 or Pitt at 8?  I just don’t know...

The two unknown variables to consider right now no matter who the Panthers select at pick eight are what will ultimately happen with Taylor Moton long term and the looming void at center which is also really important. The Panthers offensive line is anything but one pick away or even just a few moves away. It will be a process spanning the next few seasons and that's if everything goes according to plan and without injuries.

Let's hope Erving and Elflein can keep Darnold upright long enough to pass it to Pitts.  I won't hold my breath.  I mean unless we unleashing the TE bubble screen attack on the League.

I mean, it’s not against the rules to draft O-line after the first round.

This is basically how Ryan Grigson ran the Colts.

It's a huge reason why Grigson got fired and why Andrew Luck is now retired.

I never said LT or offensive line wasn't important. Hell, I've said if we do draft Sewell and Leatherwood is there in the 2nd round I think we should draft both (I love his versatility and he would be a monster guard). I just don't think you pass on Pitts with the options available to us if he's there.

People need to realize that teams don't think in terms of need and just drafting the next highest ranked player.

Fan's board:  OT1>OT2>CB1>TE1

Teams think in terms more of grade.

Teams board might be something like: OT1>TE1>CB1>OT2

or even 

OT1>TE1>trade down>CB1>OT2

The team could easily have Pitts and Sewell in a totally different tier than everyone else.  If Pitts and Sewell are both gone I could actually see us trading down.

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
