why would someone move up from 8 to 6 in this draft and what are you picking up?

I was thinking the same thing. It’s really cute how everyone thinks other teams will bend over backwards to help us get more picks plus the players we need.

Trade down. Trade CMC.  Acquire two 2nd round picks.  Believe or not trading down could effectively move us out of the range of Linderbaum, Cross and Ikem.  That said we are in prime real estate for a second tier tackle or guard.  I feel we need four picks in the top 100 to progress the team. Add a linebacker and free safety during the first 3 rounds and hit on em the defense is set.

If BC can play LT then that allows us to get either the Iowa center or the kid from NCSU and just like that the line is upgraded

 

QB comes next year.  I dont want this lame duck coaching staff anywhere near our next qb.  Next years class looks loaded and this one is kindof meh

I do not see them waiting a year for a QB.  Maybe impulsive before building the OL, but they will bring in a new face at QB some how.  But you are right--the OL SHOULD come first, but...

I’m starting to think Linderbaum isn’t a good pick at 5 or 6. I want a tackle. Humphrey and McCoy were both the best centers in their draft class and they were 2nd round picks. You can get lucky with a tackle later but their draft value is so much higher than C. We’d be way better off taking a T at 5 or 6 and then taking the best C with our 2023 2nd than if we did the opposite. Do you want Wirfs and Humphrey or Linderbaum and Little?

I'm not crazy about drafting a center at 5 or 6 or either, but with a trade down I would consider it.

I could really see a tempting prospect for a need of ours falling to that 12-15 range.

C1 (Linderbaum), OT3 (Ekwano?), QB2 and/or QB3 (maybe Correll or Howell)

    • After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...  
    • Canes are so fascinating. Despite inconsistent defense and poor goalie play they keep winning. 
    • I like Morgan's approach but I'll wait for a few winning seasons before giving too much praise.
