Here’s a little nugget for your Friday. The Stanford double-dip.

tbh this sounds like someone who's close to those particular players getting told they were in consideration in the next few rounds AND that the Panthers were thinking of trading down in the 2nd. not necessarily that they were the primary target at any particular spot.

if the Panthers are considering trading down to pick a specific player rather than from a range/short-list of players, then they are going to play themselves. if you have one player in mind, just pick them. trading down with the idea of getting a specific player will get you in trouble very quickly. something tells me the Panthers have a better plan than that.

From some articles I have read (and also Mock Drafts) Mills was actually by some as an late 1st rounder/Early 2nd. Some have stated that a team like Tampa Bay or New Orleans or even Pittsburgh might had picked him in the 1st so I really don't see him, Trask, or Mond lasting very long in the 2nd. So it is very plausible that we could look at Mills with the 2nd round.

There are some studs at the top of the second, so I would be interested to see him trade down from a top S or WR and bypass the OTs to try this.

Walker is the type who could be all over the place on team  boards. 

However, a developmental QB with upside is not a bad idea in this situation, should Darnold not work out. Mills was said to have come out a year too early. High school rankings do not mean squat, but neither does using an isolated incident to disprove a concept.

Just heard from a source that the Panthers have made some calls about acquiring an additional second round pick, or an extra early 3, depending on how the chips start falling. Rumor has it that we’d like to double dip for Stanford’s Walker Little and Davis Mills. If one or both don’t work out we’re expected to go OL and WR next.

I agree we may try and trade up for Little. Mills not so much.

Look at our QB room:  Darnold, Walker, Grier, Stevens - this room pisses excellence.

Grier was a Hurney

Walker wasn't drafted

Stevens was a meme draft pick by the Saints because there was rumor (which I guess was true) that Brady and the Panthers liked him for Wildcat looks

and then Darnold who was drafted and has looked like a QB2.

I am not advocating taking Mills in the 2nd, but I wouldn't mind taking a look at him in the late 3rd or 4th rounds. (I don't even know what picks we have in the 3rd BTW)

If we want a sleeper qb from Stanford, look a KJ Costello. Graduated at Stanford, transferred to Mississippi State, set an SEC record for passing yards vs LSU and then disappeared after a couple of bad showings. A lot of that was on the new Air Raid offense being installed and lack of offensive help. Great arm, but questionable instincts. Will be there in the 6th when you are taking a flyer on guys anyway. Best part is it requires no draft capital to be given away.

I don’t have team specific info but if I had to guess we’re talking about our old friends Marty and Ron here.

I am guessing what is being discussed is trading WFT #39 and 222 for picks 51 and 74. We slide down a bit in the second but get back to back third rounders at 73 and 74. We could then pair those to move back up again or stand pat and get three guys we want.

At this point that is my best guess. There is still a lot of things that have to land just right. Plus it could be another team.

      Well that's part of where the disconnect is then, you think Chark was a "solid NFL player" I couldn't disagree more, he's someone who had one solid NFL season and then was at best a JAG the rest of his career, I wouldn't call that a "solid NFL player" If he was a #3 WR and put up the stats he did outside of that 1 season, then sure, he's a "solid NFL player" but he put up those numbers as the #1 WR in 3 of his 4 seasons that he had meaningful roles and the #2 in a high powered offense the 4th.   That's not good and not what I'd call a "solid NFL player"

      Everything always makes sense in hindsight. Hell, I've seen guys who were touted by everyone as slam dunk "safest player in the draft" type prospects bust massively. Remember Aaron Curry? Robert Gallery? I'm just never going to say that a prospect is definitely a better NFL player than a solid NFL player. Better as a prospect? Sure, you can always make those arguments. But ultimately it comes down to what you do on Sundays and what you did on Saturdays just isn't relevant when you're talking about who's the better NFL player.

      And that's totally fair to say, but I think it also shows you guys are conflating what I'm saying with thinking I'm saying something like, "T-Mac will 100% have a better NFL career than Chark had" which is a completely different statement and one I'd agree, you can't really say about any NFL player before they've ever taken a snap. Because what I'm saying, is that T-Mac's actual ability and skills right now, are at a higher level than Chark's ever were, it's a completely different statement that is independent of what his NFL output will be. Look at it this way, without even knowing what the rest of Chark's career turned out to be, would anyone seriously say they'd take Chark after the 2019 season over today's T-Mac if they somehow were in a draft and we were deciding between the two?  As even after that season, his potential was never what T-Mac's is right now. Even with those other prospects, I'm sure some of them before their NFL career started, still had more ability and physical talent than Chark had, because again, this is so much less about T-Mac and so much more about Chark.  A bad coach, system, QB, injuries, etc, that derail a WR's career no matter how good they may have been and is much more of the reason they were a bust than their own abilities.   Chark was a tall WR with little WR speed, he was a deep ball threat and wasn't even particularly great at it, he was not that good of an actual WR. If the Jags had another above average WR in 2019, then Chark doesn't get his 1k season that I think people are getting too hung up on in thinking he was some great player in this league.
