Crazy thought.  What about moving Shaq to middle?  Resign Luvu and put him at strong.  We would still need a linebacker but we could ease him in at will. If we can trade down and come away with extra picks I'm onboard for a more highly regarded prospect.   Just a thought.

Fitt is going to pull a second and third rounder out of his ass, I guess.

I mean we have only a handful of picks in this draft and only one in the first couple days unless we get a comp pick. What/who are we going to trade away to improve that.

The most valuable of the limited picks we have should all be focused on the weakest link on the team.

Then wait around for starting linemen to fly off the board. Fitterer better not get cute again.

Fitt mentioned somewhere else that he’d like to trade back in the 12ish part of the first. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if we picked a MLB and then go offense with what we got in a trade back. If we can even find a trade partner. 

If we take a defensive player with our first pick, I, and probably 99% of the panthers fans here will absolutely lose their poo.  No way on earth do ya go "we have one of the worst offenses in nfl histroy...we should stock up on more defensive talent."  At this point, it has to be o line, qb, hell tight end, we can't keep kicking the can down the road and hope that somehow cmc can play more than 3 quarters of a football game.

Or one quarter of a season.

You are completely right on all you said. Would be an epically short sighted pick using a first or really any early pick on defense unless we go all in on FA and knock it out of the park, but still we need to make drafting OL early a priority and quit being cute.

Something to note: analytic heavy front offices generally don't value the linebacker position. They generally don't invest resources into the position. Cleveland/Philly are examples.

Would be such a panthers thing to do.

You may have not been one of them, but most on this board wanted him gone because he did not get the jab. I guess the Panthers showed him. 

Lol you can't come up with a dumber reason to fire him.

I would like an off-season where we put ourselves in a position to be able to take Kyle Hamilton and move Chinn back to linebacker

Would you go 1 first or 2 second or a second and a third(much more likely without trading away future picks). Knowing that Rhule is going to have a say in the picks. I’m pretty torn. 
 

Edit: I just want that C. I’ve always bought into the Rivera school that you can’t build a OL outside in. You have to build C out. At least we know it’s a quality player over 2-3 maybes.

Weird how this thread has turned into a Covid vax truther thread. Perryman wasn’t vaxed. Ok. Regardless of your opinion on it - you are 110% at a competitive disadvantage this season if you had unvaxed players. That is indisputable. That could have played a part in his departure. He is a solid player but it’s not like if he were here it would have a made a difference.

This checks out. Anything that dumb I could see us doing.
