Joe Person on Panthers plans for #8 pick

[TheSpecialJuan]

- Panthers are not enthralled with QB’s Trey Lance or Mac Jones 

- are intrigued by Fields but could just be a smokescreen and isn’t sure there is real interest

- The team really likes CB’s Jayce Horn and Patrick Surtain and both would be targeted IF Panthers trade down

Thank you, did it not say anything of Slater? Or the Round 2 tackles?

Just lol if we draft a cornerback

[LinvilleGorge]

I hope he's right and Verge is wrong about our opinion on Jones. Not that it matters if the Niners take him at #3. I hope out interest in Fields is legit. If he's there at #8 he should be the pick. I fully expect a CB to be added fairly early in the draft. Everything about our defensive scheme last year was about covering for our weaknesses on the back end.

Just trade down if a QB drops and take the best OT available. Holy fug

[ImaginaryKev]

The best move imo is drafting Sewell if he's there, if not trade down. Wasn't expecting corner to be the move if they did but if they were to get enough picks back I'd be on board with a lot.

If true I'm glad they aren't buying the Lance hype. I'd love him later but early 1st? Heck no

I have no issues with a cb in a trade down scenario depending on what LTs are there. Or turning 8 into a top CB and a second level tackle would be productive IMO

I'm keeping track of all of this just for future reference. I don't think Joe has ever been overtly full of poo though.

I have warmed up to trading down, i have been doing a bunch mock drafts and the most fun i have had is drafting around 2,3,4. Its gonna be a lot of talent to choose from and guys that can play right away. As long as they take a LT somewhere in the 2nd im good with it.

My best scenario is hoping Sewell drops to us though.

I don’t think anybody knows what is going to happen till Thursday April 29th around 945-10.

Person doesn't know our draft plans. FFS. Drafting a CB in the 1st round would be a body blow to this franchise. What a waste. Our 1st pick should involve improving our passing attack. When the 4th quarter rolls around and it's time to air it out you need pass protection and weapons. CB in the 1st is a luxury pick for teams that are loaded on offense.

Everyone wants to trade down, that means we are staying put

[CPF4LIFE]

One thing is certain, its Surtain/Horn and then there is a gap between them and the CBs available in the later rounds. Plus, Jackson and AJ are our clear top guys right now. Jackson has a nagging foot injury that can hit any time and AJ wont even be available the first couple games. We are thin after that. Im just glad they are prioritizing CB over WR.
