Carolina trades w/ Washington after Lance slips and Detroit takes Sewell. 

We trade the #8 for the #19, #51, and 2022 1st round.

We end up selecting. Christian Darrisaw. 

We now have 2 picks in the 1st round next year and prepare next offseason to trade for an unhappy Aaron Rodgers.

I said early on that we'd take Mac Jones but a lot, and I mean a lot, has changed since then. Something, though, tells me that things are going to work out in just such a way that Jones is still available at #8. And I think we take him.

Darnold can compete for the spot. If he wants it bad enough, he just has to beat out a rookie QB to be the starter. And I don't think we take the option on Darnold's fifth year, but instead see how this plays out. If Darnold plays great then we negotiate out a longer deal at competitive rates and Jones sits on the bench and learns the game, gets more athletic and plays the traditional role of rookie QB2. If Darnold falters, then Jones comes in and we negotiate with Darnold as if he is a back-up QB, which we still actually need (Grier will never see the field in regular season again with us).

If Jones isn't there, I think we grab Slater and solidify our line. And we double down in the second, picking up Creed Humphrey for guard/center and take Quinn Meinerz in the fourth for guard.

Third rounder will be Jevon Holland as a safety. The guy is a good deep center fielder. Less Eric Reed more Ed Reed .. smart, strategic player who relies more on film study and anticipation than speed and hitting power.

After that it's just guess work.

I'm on record not wanting a quarterback with the first pick, but there are some I could accept more than others.

Jones? You'd really have to talk to me into that one.

Now this is a bold prediction. Love it .

As I mentioned in another thread...

My ideal scenario for the first 2 rounds would be to select Slater and another offensive lineman in the second round who can play both T and G positions (Jenkins/Leatherwood), just like Slater.  Let both battle it out for the LT spot and the loser plays inside. 

I would also be happy with a trade down if it’s with the Eagles or Cowboys.  I seen talks this morning that the Eagles are trying to trade up to secure Patrick Surtain, having to leapfrog Denver and Dallas (Giants are ahead of them but they’re not a threat to pick a CB). If this rumor is true, and the Cowboys also really want Surtain, Dallas might get in a bid against Philly to trade up with us.  

If we trade with Dallas, pretty good chance we still are able to get Slater.  Trading down with Philly i’d say is 50/50 that Slater is still there, but Christian Darrisaw would definitely be available. 

 

Man...tonight is going to be fun to watch.

Look, most of  the knocks against him deal with his athleticism. Personally, I don't think it's what they are making of it. He can throw, he can process the game, he wins. Hell, I'd be happy with Len Dawson smoking a cigarette and drinking a Fresca at the half-time of the Super Bowl kind of guy.

Just as long as he wins. And I think he can.

Lol Aaron Rodgers isn’t coming to Carolina

We get "stuck" at 8 and get "stuck" with either horn or surtain. Not what I want, but I'm not going to cry over getting stuck with an elite cb or any other elite prospect we can get in the top half of the draft.

Please no to Horn. How much better are his hands going to get as a pro? 30 games played, 2 INTs in one game. 29 games of no INTs gives me pause. That’s a ton of football where you would like a guy in the top ten at the position to be a bit of a ball hawk.

      Torn achilles.  The reason he was out more than half of last season.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      When the panthers are bad, we sell a shockingly low number of jerseys, and options become limited. In the good years, we had a lot of different options. I think T-Mac is going to have to play well on the field for his jersey to get produced in the FUSE template.

      Panthers sign Hunter Renfrow

      By CRA · Posted

      it's not the only way to be a threat, it's certainly important for certain roles in an offense and for certain type players and offenses.  as is the ability to get open quickly and generate easy throws.   as far as Renfrow goes, I have consistently said he is sort of his own thing and not really in comp w/ others here.  It's a niche role/job.  Anyone talking about something else from him isn't me.  Just depends if we want to do what he does and if he can still do it.  as far as AT goes, yeah, he does lower our ceiling given the % of our offense that goes through him and his limitations at this stage in his career.    He should be a roleplayer, much like Renfrow should be if we want to insert what he does into the O....not an O being run through him.    Renfrow isn't going to lower the ceiling if used correctly.  Niche assignments to move chains.   It's like a short yardage RB that comes in to pick a random play.  Renfrow is best at that 3rd and 4 type scenario IMO. AT lowers the ceiling because we build the pass game off an old WR that shouldn't be the focal point of a pass attack.  Not to mention, Bryce Young is practically tailor made to get the ball in the hands of YAC players.   So you need those type on the field.
