Too bad we gave all our picks away. 5 and 37 would have been nice to have

Thank god we have Darnold and an 18 million dollar cap hit instead.

Rhule made a simple mistake and gave away a high second round draft pick for the worst starting QB in football.  It happens.   I'm sure he won't do something nearly as boneheaded in his third year as Panthers Head Coach.  Or will he?

What do we need to happen to get a top 4 pick in the draft? Preciate it everyone. Would really appreciate a response. I love this website! Thanks!

The problem with trading down is that teams know we are desperate for more draft picks. That means they're likely to do what they did last draft and tie up our phones with offers without equal points. Bad deals for us in other words, and a flood of them from multiple teams. We need to stay put and take a LT to anchor our line unless we receive an awesome offer.

Actually, teams would be more likely to trade mid round picks because we are missing picks as opposed to offering future 1s. they’ll see that we need to fill our draft gaps, and only offer their current picks instead of future picks. If teams want their players, they will offer what it takes.

if we are picking 5 that means there will be some serious talent on the board. Teams will want to get their guy. 
 

We need to be wise on how we manage this draft.

Don't get mad when Pickett is our selection at 5.

Our T10 selection literally needs to be a LT .. Neal or Cross .. can't trot out a rookie QB with this protection and you don't fix offensive line through free agency

they are 1 game out of the 1 seed, not sure why they would rest their players. Getting that bye would be huge for them especially with their injury situation. 

Furthermore, even if they don't get the #1 spot the higher the seed they'll have more home games before traveling to GB, if GB wins their playoff game.

They have plenty of incentive.   I'm more worried about New Orleans letting Carolina win.   Payton has a way of screwing things up for us.

If NO, SF, and PHI all win out, NO and PHI get the wildcards. Sean hates us, but he's not giving up a shot at the playoffs to drop us a few spots in the draft.

Think about that. Sean's a quality NFL coach and with the QB situation he's had this year, he's on the verge of the playoffs, presumably running the same offensive system that we can't get any of our QBs to look good with...

Letting us win? NO is right on the cuff of the final playoff spot. I don’t think they would intentionally lose to ruin our draft position and sacrifice going to the playoffs…

Shows how solid Sean is as a head coach, but it’s apple and oranges compared to our situation. 

 

mcvay and bill b failed in similar situations as Peyton, what does that say about them?

Jets and Giants win one more game and we lose out.

As long a Rhule sticks with the process we will be fine.

Trading down is looking better every week.

Good thing is Saints playing for playoffs, and the NFC is so tight up front Tampa could still get the bye. Really need Packers to lose one so the Bucs have to keep playing
