Would a single person be upset if we traded down in the first and picked up an extra 2nd or 3rd round pick, then used every pick on offensive linemen? I know I wouldn’t.

Quality over quantity.  I want the very best LT the team can get its hands on.  Those guys are rare and hard to find.  Let's benefit from our horrible season by finally getting an instant starter at LT.  

The 4th round pick is from Houston so it's at the top of the round.  A team can potentially get a starting interior lineman (G or C) at that spot. 

With Christensen at LG and Moton at RT that would be some very good pieces toward building the OL.

Hold on there partner. WE beat the teams we are supposed to beat. That isn't the problem. Also we beat the Saints in one of those games when they beat an amazing team before. The problem didn't arise until we went to Dallas and faced a very good Defense and Darnold started seeing ghosts again. 

I'll never get the people that get mad for beating bad teams. Those are the teams you're supposed to beat. like wtf. 

Because good teams do to bad teams what the Bucs did to us. Good teams do to bad teams what the Cowboys did to us. Good teams do to bad teams what the Bills did to us. We are a bad team. 

Congrats on beating the teams we were supposed to beat. We will finish 5-12. Super glad we barely squeaked out wins against those bad/depleted teams. That's my point exactly. The only teams we were supposed to beat were poo teams. 

I will never understand how people accept subpar performance as long as we beat the bad teams. Nah, 5 wins a year doesn't satisfy me. Barely squeaking out a win against teams we know are poo tier isn't exciting. 

If the 31 other teams in the NFL were as poo as the Jets, then no, it wouldn't be the problem. And as for your point about the saints team, they were missing 2 starting CBs, 2 starting WRs, their starting MLB, their starting center and a few dlinemen. We couldn't beat Alabama if we were missing that many key starters. 

"The problem didn't arise until we played a good team" Just lol...

They won’t win next week anyway but the SOS trumps their win over us. 

yes, this is correct

***********************************

NFL Draft tiebreaking procedures

Strength of schedule (SOS) is used to break any ties between teams who have identical records at the end of the season. The team with the lower strength of schedule gets the higher selection in the tie break. SOS is the aggregate winning percentage of a team’s opponents.

Tha fug? I said the problem didn't arise until we met a good DEFENSE. We faced a good team in the saints in week two. wtf. We also didn't just 'squeak' wins against them (Jags/Jets). WTF. What are you watching numbnuts?

 

GTFO here with that poo.

Evan Neal would be the dream, but Ickey or Linderbaum would be pretty damn satisfying too. Ekwonu could be a LT or he could be nasty at G. If Christensen can be trusted at LT, then Ekwonu at LG or Linderbaum at C would give us three very solid franchise pieces with Moton locked in at RT.  

I think Brown will eventually be our RG in '22. 

If Brown and Christensen pan out, we could in theory have 4/5 OL positions figured out.

Nope and I got blasted for even considering it lmao. We need quantity and quality.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
