What Are You Going To Be Upset About If We Draft A

Although maybe we're targeting a starting LG in R2. 

We could have a new legion of boom in Surtain-Jackson-Bouye-Burris-Chinn

And then a brand spanking new Leatherwood at LG.

Not "Legion of Boom" , but maybe a new Thieves Ave. If we get a CB (Surtain/Horn) in the 1st and a true FS (Grant/Holland) in the 2nd or 3rd (I don't think we should use Burris except maybe as a rotational piece). 

Remember there's a buzz about Grant in R2. If we go defense in R'a 1 and 2? Talk about pissing people off, Snow would love it, but Joe B. (and lots of fans), maybe not so much!

Without getting into far-reaching/impossible positions (ex: RB or STs) I am saying WR or CB at #8 I'm going to be pretty upset.  I'll be okay with CB in a trade back to get the correct value.  As loaded as the WR class is, we have WAY too many pressing needs...not to mention a decent WR corps already, to be taking a wideout in the first round, trade back or not.  I'm generally a BPA guy in the first round, but there are always exceptions to every rule.

Only thing I'd be "upset" about is anybody else picked if "Sewell, Pitts or Chase" are still available. 

Sewell: Tackles our Oline problem

Pitts: Tackles our redzone problem 

Chase: If you thought last year was good with DJ, Robbie and Samuel lol.  

At the same time, whoever picked is apart of the family so that bitterness would only last around 24 hours. Atleast until the 2nd round, where I'd have another chance to experience the same dissatisfaction again. 

Exactly how I feel!

I have always been upset with the picks later in the draft though. That's if I get upset.

Only positions I would be legit upset about is linebacker or rb. Maybe not upset but just wtf defeated. I wouldn’t even draft Parsons if we traded back.  

im fine with Horn at 8. Lots of smoke about him coming through the past week. I know a lot of people will hate it but I think it’ll prove to be a really wise decision down the road. 

fields trumps everything for me. If he’s there I take him over every prospect left even Sewell. If the rumors are true that Tepper is pushing fields that is conflicting for me. I think he’s right in this circumstance but owners that meddle in draft picks is NOT a good thing long term. And it creates a really bad environment for the coaches and management.

See i dont think Tepper is specifically pushing for Fields. However, he probably has made it clear the importance of getting a franchise QB if we believe one is there to be taken especially in the first round.

And if fields is there im sure he will push for him. Again I think we should draft him but I hope it’s a collective decision between Matt and fits and not just coming from Tepper. 
 

I really think Rhule has wanted to slow roll this process from day 1. Reports of rhule wanting to trade back and collect more picks last year and this year, the report about us having  fewer picks than team averages over the past 10 years. I just have a feeling he’s wanted to build this team up before doing something at the qb position if we haven’t found one in the process. 
 

I totally agree with the importance of a franchise qb and striking when the iron is hot. I just want Tepper to let Matt do his thing and see where the chips fall. He hired the guy to be a franchise builder. Let him see his plan out without interference.

I’ve said before I give rhule til 2023 to build a contender that includes a franchise qb. If we are treading water then he needs to go.

    • TAMU had such a weird draft. Usually you'd be bragging your ass off about three DL drafted in the top two rounds except that the narrative around all three was about how badly they were misused by TAMU. LOL
    • Many Panthers fans are already excited about second-round selection Nic Scourton for a variety of reasons including but not limited to: the Panthers needed to recharge the position group, Scourton had a late first-round grade according to many (including the Panthers), and he fit this season's modus operandi of stopping the run now and forever. However, Scourton was seen early on as one of the top-3 EDGE guys in this class but fell due to not having quite the season at Texas A&M as he did prior at Purdue (his sophomore season). It's been revealed since then a few different things that speak to that dip in production... Texas A&M, for one, requires each player on their line to be able to hold two gaps. This also explains why we saw low production across the board from the other two TA&M prospects but were still being heavily touted. Scourton was also said to have bulked up to 280lbs in order to fulfill this role and noticeably suffered from it. He's expected to play this season with Carolina at 255 - 260 which is very different from most situations. In most situations, teams are wanting players to gain 15 - 30. Since Scourton is going to be playing at his Purdue weight, I thought it would make sense to dive more into that tape. Y'all... we might have gotten something special... Let's take a quick peek at the stats before we start drooling over some highlights. First, a summary of the last two seasons for Scourton: Second, the game splits: The first thing that pops up for me is how Scourton's sack numbers were cut in half his senior year. We've already pointed out issues with scheme that impacted the TA&M linemen from racking up numbers, but seeing the game splits it's clear that Scourton didn't exactly feast on inferior competition while at Purdue. He had two two-sack games (vs. Michigan (2023 - 2024 champs), Indiana) and a 10-tackle game (vs. Nebraska). I also see the 2024 games where he went up against two top-10 tackles (Will Campbell from LSU + Armand Membou from Missouri) that I watched leading up to the draft.  For those who just want a summary: Scourton looked elite at Purdue and is going to be rotating in often during his rookie campaign. I originally had him penciled in as the second-string, strong-side edge defender behind Clowney but I wouldn't be surprised to see the team have him and Pat Jones II moving around when they rotate in in order to find where Nic looks best. Here's a highlight reel to replace that Cialias you lost in your recliner tonight:   For those that want a little more: Below I'll be linking the linking the five games I've mentioned above. If you plan to watch all of them, I highly recommend going in the order listed as that will allow you to see him vs. Campbell and then Membou while dealing with the aforementioned things he dealt with at Texas A&M before seeing him look unstoppable in 2023 when he was allowed to play both at a comfortable weight and in a scheme that didn't require him two cover two gaps nearly every play. vs. Will Campbell (2024) vs. Armand Membou (2024) vs. Nebraska (2023) vs. Michigan (2023)   vs. Indiana (2023)  
    • Yea, i honestly think he had almost as much say as Dan.  One of the main reasons I think that is Eager has said before he was ever with the Panthers, that you trade away picks for a qb and for any other position you do pick swaps, and that's exactly what we did.
