POV: You are Joe Brady. What do you want in the draft?

If I'm Joe Brady, I have a shopping list:

1. OT in the 1st round, preferably Sewell, but Slater will suffice.

2. WR no later than the 3rd round. The WR needs to be able to replace Samuel's production and, hopefully, running ability.

3. RB in the 4th. The RB allows more flexibility with CMC and allows many more options. Also provides insurance for an injured CMC, if it happens.

If it’s Mac Jones at 3 which seems to be likely at this point, then 1 of Fields/Lance is there at 8 and should be the pick.

We need both Jones and Lance to go before our pick.

Then trade back for more picks.

I mean, sure that would be ideal but who is coming up and for who? 

I fully expect Fields, Sewell, Pitts and Chase gone by 8. With either Jones or Lance sitting there at 8. So unless a team wants one of those two I just don’t see who else someone would give up capital for.

I prefer Fields but Lance at 8 is still good value and we can give him a year or 2 to develop while we try out Darnold. I’d be happy with that pick, though based on reports it doesn’t even seem that we care much for Lance. Fields then Sewell then trade down is what I want.

For me to make the Joe Brady call, I need to know if Joe Brady is sold on Sam Darnold.  If I'm trying to read the tea leaves, I'd say the fact that we didn't immediately pick up the 5th year option tells me we aren't sure.

From an offensive perspective, if a QB I love falls, we take that guy.  If no QB falls, take Slater / Sewell whichever we like or is still on the board.  If none of those are available, we should look at what defenders are on the board for the good of the team.

    • He was hurt last game, that's why Rico got more touches.  It's the NFL and injuries are the norm. They did right and went out and got a back that can run. Now prove they chose wisely 
    • He was a project coming out of college and seeing that he doesn’t care much he won’t make it IMO
    • My very UNPOPULAR opinion:   First, I would want to know the locker room.  Have they turned on Canales?  If not, I would stay with him.  Here is why: Switching coaches every year or two is not the answer to long term success.  We are chasing hope instead of building a program around a young coach.  There were not many applicants for this job and if you think they are suddenly dying to be here now, that MIGHT justify a coaching change Canales has made some tough decisions (like benching Bryce), but his weaknesses (the team's weaknesses) have been in the areas in which we have neglected or sucked for years.  Who did we get for CMC?  Who made the trade with the Bears when we had no idea at the time who we wanted?  Who drafted Mingo, Marshall, XL, etc.?  Who signed a frequently-injured CB to the biggest contract in NFL history at the time for a CB?  I look at the personnel decisions and the play calling.  Our edge players are injured and not that good when healthy. He played Johnson because he had nothing left.  Johnson was terrible Sunday.  He has nothing at LB and two starting OL are now out.  XL is pouting because he does not seem to have paid the price to be paid the price of a first round pick.  AT was sent packing.  Bryce's resurgence last year may have been Canales and not Bryce. Evero still does not have the tools he needs to succeed--on the field or perhaps between his ears.   If Canales fires Evero, he is probably doing the right thing.  Remember, we had a lot of money in dead cap when Canales took over.  Fitterer was the worst GM since Matt Millen in the NFL, and we have sucked recently in the first round of the draft (Bryce, XL) until this season.   When the GM is trying to give the coach what he needs to be successful and you keep changing coaches, it is difficult.   I think this--stay with Canales, but bring in a veteran DC.  Some argue that Canales needs to move on from Bryce, but this team is not set up to give him options.  Andy aint the answer.  We never seem to take the PS QB seriously--all eggs are in one basket.  Canales needs options. This team needs to address the QB situation.  Bryce's best games are not Lombardi worthy, so move on.  He is not the Alpha a young coach needs on the field.  Give him options at QB, some LBs and a good coordinator on defense, and I think we could use another stud WR.  It is time to start drafting developmental OL and start grooming them to replace our aging OL. This draft is solid at QB as it stands now.  We need to focus on drafting the right guy and signing a veteran backup who is not the starting QB's BFF.  Compete.  Heck, i have no problem doing what Cleveland did--draft a QB in round 1 and then another QB if one falls into day 3.   I think we need stability and I am not confident any respectable coach comes to Carolina.  Canales is frustrated, but the front office has failed him, as have injuries, and a really bad draft a few years ago that brought them Bryce.  He was hired to fix Bryce--so I say neuter him so he does not sire any more 5'8" QBs.   Canales is better that Rivera was--Canales just has so much less talent.  Rivera was coach of the year a few times because he had Cam Newton, but could never put two winning seasons together.  That is a crime.
