Nice write up. Should note Eze didn’t replace Brady. They went to different schools (TCU & BYU)

I have been getting that mixed up all season to the point of where I sat and watched the TCU bowl game confused as hell lmaooooooooo

Unfortunately I don’t see Linderbaum happening.

Rhule’s seat is piping hot and he believes our 2022 starting center is already on the roster. I doubt he uses the lone pick in the first three rounds on a center

Yea, to be honest I think the move now is Ikem Ekwonu.

Which I am SUPER on board with.

Lemme flex thooo!!

Grabbed  3 rookie QBs (because I'm heavily targeting Aqeel Glass as my first UDFA (followed by P Matt Araiza and FB Jakobi Buchanon as my second and third UDFAs)). Trying to see if I can at least get a high-end QB2 out of it, hopefully a true QB1. I'm also looking at an RGKnee/CptKirk situation because of Strong's knee.

Plan is to have Christensen play LT, Linderbaum start on the interior, and then let the other two inside spots go to the best two out of Elflein/Brown/Parham/Lindstrom. 

Pierre Strong Jr is more competition for the RB room that is already loaded with CMC/Chuba/Ameer. At this point, I figure at the very least we can still make our strengths stronger in order to not miss a beat should a player be a part of a transaction or injury.

The team is set to lose Reddick + Haynes, so we need to replenish the pass rush. YGM has made me eat crow and Brian Burns is Brian Burns, so let's go grab Josh Paschal and Eyioma Uwazurike to provide depth + develop.

I'm a big Tommy Tremble fan, but we need a competent TE2. Jelani Woods is a former QB turned TE (an increasing trend after the success of Logan Thomas) as well as Jake Ferguson. Both are a bit more in the line of receiving tight ends, but Tremble is such a good blocker that I don't mind the TE2 being a better receiving threat than they are run blocker.

Decobie Durant is filthy value in round 6. That man is GOOD. Put him under Wilks' tutelage alongside Horn, Henderson, STO3, Hartsfield, and whoever else is in that room as the veteran presence.

Finally, I was also able to pick up the following 2023 picks while only losing a future seventh-round selection:

  • Washington's second round pick
  • Washington, Indianapolis, and Buffalo's third round picks
  • Baltimore's fifth round pick

Linebacker is still a need, as well as safety depth (I tried to fix it all! I swear!). I think this at the very least though gives the team the best chance to compete under its given circumstances while also bringing in quality talent.

I love Linderbaum but don't know if the value is there at #6.   Teams can find starting C in rounds 3 or 4 of most drafts.  So the 6th overall pick is pretty high for him.

Now if new OL Coach Campen loved the kid, I'd change my tune and happily welcome him to the Panthers' roster.  Campen really knows his stuff so whatever OL he likes, I'm down with drafting.

After thinking about it, and because I've been busy af for the last cpl of months without any relief in sight until June, a Willis draft would basically be the same but with Obinna Eze (OT, TCU) in the 6th and Willis at #6 ofc.

    • First, apologies @MHS831, I know you began this about tackles, and it was good. But... Frank, your post is just another Bryce sucks post. You obviously believe, like your buddy, that if we draft a WR it's all about evaluating Bryce Young or coddling Bryce Young. In short, it would be about improving the damned team. If anything, if Bryce is as destined to fail (or is already a failure right now... irredeemable), then another playmaker at WR would just seal the envelope and send him on his way. In my world, that's a good thing.  If some of you think that Bryce is a lame duck, then why wouldn't you want to set the offense up for the next QB to come in and be dropped into the offense to have success? Or, maybe you think it's all a moot point anyway because Tepper sucks, Dan Morgan sucks, Canales sucks, Ejiro sucks, Brandt Tilis sucks---everybidy sucks! If that's the case, then why does anyone care who or what we draft? Obviously some of you have all the answers and can run a gotdamn franchise better than the FO does now.
    • Yeah man, idk. I’m not super big on looking at the position group overall and damning the group. I’ll do the same with less words for WR. I think Proctor is the ultimate fit because he could be your future left or right tackle or left or right guard. Guys a starter, how much Zavala, Christensen, Curhan, and Corbett did we see last year again? Mauigoa will not be there when we pick, but you take him for the same reason you take Proctor minus maybe the LT. Freeling *could* be an upgrade at LT for the future. You don’t take Miller or Iheanahor because the position flexibility isn’t there, likely RT only guys. Those Utah guys are light in the ass, don’t want. Now I do WR. All extremely unproductive when compared to previous Round 1 WR. Tate- Gone Lemon- Complete player, not a burner, would take at 19 Tyson- Made of glass, Colorado washout  Cooper- Not the best hands. Like 300 of his yards were lucky ass stumble blooper looking poo. Bernard gives you similar but better in the 2nd. KC- Slaps then catches the ball. Lightning fast for about 20 yards. Good return man. poo QBs probably more to unlock. Would take at 19 if Proctor, Freeling, Lemon were gone. Washington guy- Lumbers, the smoothness Canales hyped for TMac, not there with him. We need a different style player.    
    • Logically yes. Boston has the right balance though. Jalen Brown is #2 in the paint and their best shooters are 17th and 19th. While our best shooters are #1 and #2 and we have one player in the top 50 for points in the paint. And my understanding looking at the information I just referenced is we were basically at the exact same paint percentage last year in Charles Lee's offense. At the end of the day we either want to compete for a playoff series winner and the finals or we just want to stumble our way to another play in. We've already done that with James Borrego.
