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.

    • I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo. 
    • Football is the ultimate team sport. No sport is more dependent on others for your success - including coaching. I don't know if Bryce is the guy, but I do know this has been a very bad team all around since he got here. One of the worst o-lines and coaching staffs I've ever seen his rookie year. One of the worst defenses and receiving groups (including TEs) I've ever seen his 2nd season - with a rookie HC and OC. An improving WR group his 3rd season mostly due to a rookie. The only other WR of note didn't really play well until after the 10th game of the season due to injury. Still no receiving TE to speak of. And lost games because of the worst pass rush in the NFL. And the only speed he's ever had on the field was DJ Chark. A washed up DJ Chark that played here one year and has had 31 yards receiving since leaving.  Carolina had no business moving up for a QB in 2023. They weren't ready. Especially if it meant trading your only good WR to do it. Now finally there's potential on defense. Potential on o-line. Potential at WR, including some actual speed in a game where speed kills. If BY falls on his face this season, then he has to own it. Situation may not be perfect, but it's at least NFL average across the board. I won't beat him up for being bad in bad situations on a bad team. But a 4th year QB has to be able to control the offense and make players/coaches right. The team looks good enough on paper to show what he can do now.
