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?

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.

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?

    • Yeah. As a wild card team. Washington won the division at 10-6.
    • no doubt but flip that.   The current system insures that there are "regional" games in the early weeks. maximizing the reach of playoff football.  If all of the WC weekend for a conference took place on the west coast they are reducing the "reach" of their hype machine.
    • Hard to say with London--he never ran--combine or pro day.  Here is what AI says, and it is always 100% accurate: Drake London's 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine was not recorded because he was dealing with a fractured ankle at the time. While he didn't participate in the 40 at the Combine or his pro day, his coach said his 40 time was estimated to be between 4.4 and 4.53 seconds. Some sources also list his 40 time at 4.58 and 4.6 seconds Unless you are running 9s all day, top end 40 speed is rarely reached.  I have always looked at the 3-cone drill.  At his pro day, TMac ran a 6.86--pretty good, actually.  For context, it is faster that Rome Odunze (6.88) who ran a 4.45 40.  Odunze is 6'3" and weighs 216, fwiw, and is considered a very good route runner with no wasted motion.  Mike Evans 3-cone was 7.08.  To put it in a broader context, through 2022, with all NFL prospect 3-cone drills combined, a 6.86 puts TMac in the.89th percentile-  Now consider the fact that he is 6'4" and 220.   We might have something here.  '
