Yeah I fear that last year may give them the confidence to try this.

We have a rare chance to solve a  long-standing need. Don’t get cute.

 

They are only cute. That's why our 2021 draft is likely to be the disaster that I think it will be. 

Trading down is for teams that are built or crush at talent evaluations. We aren't either of those.

Centers rarely go top 10. In fact they rarely go top 15. 

I think Linderbaum could be. I wouldn't be mad at getting him in that 10-15 range. 

People said the same thing about TE, yet the Falcons took one top 5 last draft. If a guy is supposed to be a once in a decade or longer prospect at his position, some team will pull the trigger. Heck, the Raiders took a kicker once upon a time in round one when everyone said nobody does that.

I wouldn't be shocked I would be furious 

I would be shocked if they went DB again in top 10. I wouldn’t be shocked if they signed someone like Cam Robinson to try to fix the OT problem and then they trade the 6th pick for more picks and pass on Ekwonu, Neal, etc. 
 

Personally, I think the better move is to draft a player who can play OT ($20 mil per year position),  sign a FA safety like Marcus Williams so Chinn can play strong safety and maybe get down in the box more. Chinn needs to be our Chancellor. Find a rangy FS to play the Earl Thomas role and draft the OT rather than signing one.

IOL are different. TE's have grown to be game changers. Centers are important but also far easier to obtain.

We're just going to have to agree to disagree. Linderbaum is supposed to be the best center prospect in years and the best O-lineman in the draft. Some team will take a chance, especially with two teams having two top ten picks.

I like him as a prospect but I have grown to be leary of small, athletic centers. Kalil was unreal but a lot of the guys with similar profiles(Tyler C being one) have not lived up to that billing.

Panthers will trade down to the 11-15 range. 1st for 1st+2nd+4th/5th

Expect Ekwonu or Linderbaum to be the pick from there

Absolute best case scenario IMO operating under the assumption we trust BC at LT or sign one in FA. I imagine Ickey doesn't have the "right size" Rhule wants for a LT, though. 

But, Ickey can play OG or LT if needed and Linderbaum would honestly be a dream to lock the center position up for the next decade. Grab more OL in the 2nd (or even QB if we want a glimmer of hope) and the OL rebuild is on at least.

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
