Truth About Day 1 and Day 2 of the Draft

[Biggdaddi1022]

Panthers wanted Trey Lance in the first if they were going to take a QB. Also they had Kellen Mond ranked higher than Justin Fields after working with him in the senior bowl ,he was going to be the our first pick day 2 if not picked by the Vikings once that happened it started the whole trading down game because then it was about getting Sam weapons and protection because at the point they had to be all in. I hear this from a source who is close to one of the members in the war room. Also he said the bears was the only team close to offering what the Panthers wanted for the 8th but moving to back to the 20th would have had us picking a decent player but maybe not a player that could come in and have same projected impact as horn.....a lot of it makes sense but again maybe we may never exactly know how it went down.

Everyone has a source but no one has the lotto numbers outrageous

They did joke about pickled eggs in Fargo.  When I heard that, I thought, "And there it is--the dead giveaway."

I like the way it turned out.  Darnold is going to ball out.

Every team wants players that other teams get.  No evidence behind your theory, but it is your right to share it.  Thanks.  I love this part of the draft--the after the fact drama etc.

Mond was taken at the top of the third round and we traded UP to select Christensen 4 picks later.

No dice.

I think it makes sense we were waiting for him to drop to us and be patient or move up when he was a bit closer, but our first day 2 pick was on Terrace when Mond was still there. So yeah I have hard time buying it too

Yeah that made no sense. We had already  traded down our first pick of the second day.  Mond, as you said, was taken after that.

All these sources but the teams actions say otherwise. I can believe the Lance part but Mond in the second???

If we wanted a corner, we could’ve traded down with Chicago and still ended up with Farley or Newsome.

Yeah I get Horn is the #1 on our board but it’s hard to know Chicago offered us next years 1st. That’ll be a top 8 pick next year

i think the moment we gave darnold the 5th year option was the moment that we were officially out of the QB market...although i suspect that we were probably out of it before but let the thought linger in the air as a smokescreen.

Chicago gave NYG their 1st next year. If an offer was given to Carolina, I’m sure next year’s 1st was on the table. 

Yeah that’s what I’m saying. It’s tough knowing they offered next years first plus some and we turned it down. Not saying we made the wrong choice, who knows but that Chicago 1st next year could potentially be Sam Howell if darnold ends up not working out… they should be pretty bad this year

Mond sucks. He was never going to be drafted by us. That’s the truth.
