Rhule says there are multiple players still available that they have 2nd and 3rd round grades for.

Maybe they will package the picks to move up into the late 4th--their board is only 150 players, so if they get 2 tomorrow, we could be done.

That's my thinking - I wouldn't be surprised if we have two high 4th round picks tomorrow and call it a night.

I honestly expect them to trade away the 4th rounders for low picks next year. The way they are drafting, it really doesn't seem like they wanted many of the guys in this draft class at all.

It's frustrating to wait for our pick only to see us trade down (especially when I am watching at 6am in the morning) but the last trade was quite fruitful.  We have a chance to get a couple of players early in the 4th round (late 3rds).  Plus we have recuperated the 4th round we gave away to NYJ.  As of now, we only need to recuperate a 2nd and Darnold was free.  (JOKE)

Let's hope we are planning on doing something with those picks next year. I am not sure how much use the pile of 4th and 5th rounders will be other than fixing our persistent depth issues. 

Packaging to make them into better draft picks would be nice. I do wonder if we use them to trade for players. Maybe we plan on doing more building that way? Seattle was fairly active in that world, IIRC.

Anyone watch the presser? Rhule looks like he was doing blow all night.

Football is his blow. 

 

Seriously. I am not kidding. The guy gets more excited about it than anyone I have ever met.

It’s pretty clear they are going BPA to match Rhule and Fitt’s design. I could see us giving up a couple six’s but I wouldn’t be surprised if we try to trade back again. I do really like what we’ve done so far. But it does seem that we could be over valuing players dependent on what this coaching staff can do with them though. 
 

That said I’m very curious that the TE we drafted had a panthers hat ready to go. Did he just buy a hat for each team? Did the NFL send them hats or was he that sure he was going to end up a panther?

The league sent them a hat from all 32 teams before the draft. Did this last year as well.

    • Sound write-up MHS, as always.  Agree that the smart move that forward thinking franchises make would be drafting a tackle early, if not for sure in R1, depending on who's there. Based on early predictions we're choosing between Fano and Proctor. No brainer here...Fano all day. Proctor does not move the needle for me. In my mind, Icky has less future here than Brooks does. I love Icky, but he has been average as a top-10 pick, one good year where you saw the potential...and that was this year. He's built like a RT and his strengths are there, but he's always played left. I also feel like part of what has held him back from being elite, was his work ethic. He was known for it coming out, but feel like he fell right at home in Carolina and maybe didn't push himself as hard as he needed to. Throw in a major crucial injury that will take time to recover and a historical low return rate to current form, and the outlook is not great. Fano can play both sides and we need to also plan for Moton's departure. Either way, delaying drafting a tackle early this year will hurt us down the line. Our current OL is overpriced and needs to start adding draftees to start balancing out the inevitable changes coming in the next 2-3 years.  As others have said, maybe Icky can replace Hunt or Lewis in a couple years when he's fully recovered....IDK. Also not a guarantee, but then you have to figure out his contract and it becomes even more clouded.
    • It's past time to just eliminate it in terms of an event. Just do the voting, name the roster, and move on. When you get down to 6th and 7th alternates it's just absurd. It doesn't mean anything.
