I see no possible way that this forum doesn't implode over our pick.  So many people want different players and when we trade down (which I think we will) the server will melt down.

 

I want Fields to be on the board when we pick.

Just because I want to see a server meltdown.

He wasn’t working long hours trying to prepare for a draft with very limited prospect access and no combine. I’d think any coaching staff, GM and scouts are watching more film and having more discussions than normal. 

Recruiting is non-stop at the college level. He's looked like this for quote awhile now. Basically ever since the wheels fell off last season.

I want a left tackle pretty badly, and if we don't get one I'll be annoyed.

But I'm not gonna melt down. I'll do the same thing I do every time the Panthers make a move I disagree with and hope for the best.

That said, if a quarterback is on the board at 8 and we don't take him, I agree several people are likely gonna go apesh-t.

I mean, you could simply go back and watch his pressers before and after.

all Rhule wants to do is chill out to some Crash into Me and not be hated on.  Is that too much to ask!

Yep, one week left before the draft. They are trying to review everyone and every scenario. I’d be worried if he didn’t look tired. 

He's looked exhausted for a while.

I thought it was just the difficult season under COVID restrictions, but it's continued into the Draft run-in.

It's a little surprising as the College season is a constant GRIND with recruiting.

My guess for 1st round grades:

 

1. Trevor Lawrence- QB / Clemson

2. Kyle Pitts- TE / Florida

3. Ja'Marr Chase- WR / LSU

4. Penei Sewell- OT / Oregon

5. Zach Wilson- QB / BYU

6. Justin Fields- QB / Ohio State

7. Patrick Surtain II- CB / Alabama

8. Jaylen Waddle- WR / Alabama 

9. Teven Jenkins- OT / OK State

10. Alijah Vera-Tucker- OG / USC

11. Jaycee Horn- CB / South Carolina 

12. Devonte Smith- WR / Alabama

13. Rashawn Slater- OG / Northwestern 

14. Christian Darrisaw- OT / Virginia Tech

15. Micah Parsons- LB / Penn State

16. Trevon Moehrig- S / TCU

 

This is a pretty good guess.  And as long as we have Darrisaw with a 1st round grade, and can pick up a second and still get him, I'll be ecstatic.

I have a feeling we want to trade back and take a CB in the first.  If we do, I hope we have a bunch of LTs with 2nd round grades, because I feel like this is our year to finally get one.

I do understand the CB position in this draft falls off pretty quickly shortly into the 2nd round.

I want a tackle too, but I'm starting to feel like they are going to mess around, trade back, draft a CB, and then miss out on the top tackles as a run happens at the end of the first and before the Panthers pick in the second. They'll probably end up drafting a guy in the 6th or 7th rounds that doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of ever playing outside of preseason and camp. Or they are then forced to to trade up before the second round pick and loss whatever they gained from trading back. Either of those two scenarios are the most Panther things ever.

Rhule looks exactly like he has on every video conference call he's ever done. I haven't seen many coaches look enthusiastic about them.

It's the beard and having to talk to Newton and Person while doing draft prep.

I think that’s the thing.  Having to answer the same BS questions week after week when we all know it’s not going to be a real answer, it’ll be coach speak, and truly it’s a waste of everybody’s time.  He’s become jaded much quicker than Ron I guess lol

    • Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.
    • It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?
    • I can't see a world where the money goes down, but maybe your lottery odds are now your contract numbers you can offer.  Thunder? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 20 million.  Hornets? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 80 million.  Some form of a system where the money is still there, but so is the freedom of choice (on top of bad teams getting *some* competitive advantage to signing them).
