Theres not going to be alot available free agent wise and this college class doesn't look amazing for qb's.  Considering Carolinas lack of picks, they may need another rental for 2 years.  I feel a trade is imminent.  What do we think about Garoppalo?  He will almost have to be available.  

 

Mike Kafka  - Offensive Coordinator

Trade down twice to 15+ acquiring 2x 2nd round picks and probably a 3rd/4th. 

Trevor Penning OT - Draft 1st Round

Carson Strong QB - Draft 2nd Round

Rasheed Walker OT - Draft 2nd Round

John Schmitz C - Draft 4th Round

Garoppolo - Trade for a 3rd

This rebuilds the Oline, gives a decent qb room with Garoppolo, Darnold and Strong and an up and coming qb coach to oversee it.

Short answer?  No.

However, the good news is....we are primed for a total rebuild with tons of cap space and a new GM...right when the rest of the division is heading toward major shakeups.

 

 

Oh poo...that's not true...we were primed for a perfect rebuild and the coach, that the owner hired and gave way too much power to, thought we were ready to win now and treated his cap space and future picks that way.

 

Now we must start all over again, since we didn't do it correctly the first time.  Tepper needs to hire someone that truly understands the NFL, and allow them and Fitt to run the show.  He HAS to get away from this team.  He has proven that if there is a decision to be made, he will make the wrong choice.

The fact that we’ll need at a bare minimum 3 starters on the line and depth, as well as a re-designed QB room suggests this will be a multi-year rebuild. If we had the picks, or had the money, it could possibly be fixed sooner, but I’m not expecting it to be significantly better until 2023 or even 2024. 

But by then, the defense would have fell apart.

IF, and that is a big if, we can can basically can the entire offensive coaching staff and bring in a crew who know how to get the best out of players and can scheme around the talent that we have, and if we spend the vast majority of our draft capital on the OL, then I think we can be a decent to good offense. QB is still an area of need but OL has to come first. We have talent on the offense, we just need a good line and coaches who actually know what they're doing.

I don't get drafting a QB in Round 2 if we're also going to be trading for Jimmy G in this scenario.  Use that pick for offensive line help.

It's not going to be easy, that much is for sure.

This offensive needs a QB, LT, LG, C, TE2, OL depth, and an actual scheme that can succeed in today's NFL while stuck with salary cap restrictions as well as no day 2 picks (though, to be fair, CJ Henderson for a third is actually starting to look like a steal).

Is Rhule still here? If so, no.

I'm afraid this is probably correct.

For one, if Rhule is still in charge, I can't see him moving on to a different OC. Remember he said that he "went outside his comfort zone" to hire Joe Brady. Jeff Nixon, on the other hand, is well within his comfort zone so it's difficult to think he'd make a change there.

Matt had his chance to pick OC, now its Fitts turn

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
