I like sewell but he isn't better than Chase regardless of positional need 

I don't think the story has been written for either of them, but one position is sexy, and one isn't. It's too easy to say Chase is better than Sewell based on their position. But, regardless of positional need, Sewell was considered the better player on most big boards.

This time last year Jaycee was mocked in the early 2nd, Lance was a borderline 1st, Zach Wilson was in the teens. There is quite a bit of pre draft to happen before stuff is set.

If Stingley, Gardner, Hamilton are as special as everyone says I think they all go top 10 and the OL slide. 1-2 QBs are gonna go top 10. Ojabo may slide in there. 

My top 12 would look like this:

1. Jax - Thibodeaux

2. Lions - Pickett (I don’t think it’s the right pick but it’s the Lions). 

3. Hou - Hutchinson (historically this franchise LOVES big time DL. He’s the next in line). 

4. Jets - Stingley (trying to recreate Revis island). 
 

5. Seahawks (via Giants) - Gardner 

6. WFT (via Panthers) - Willis (RR finds his future at QB)

7. Seahawks - Evan Neal (they need to replace Duane Brown). 
** I also think the Hawks could go get Garoppolo if they trade Wilson as in this scenario. 
8. ATL - Hamilton (Falcons needs a safety and Hamilton fits the need and BPA).

9. Green Bay (via Denver) - Garrett Wilson (Davante and Rodgers are both out to Denver via trade and FA). 
 

10. Jets - Ekwonu - Jets are patient and get their final piece to an elite OL for Zach Wilson. 
 

11. CAR - Charles Cross (Panthers move down and still get BPA, two extra picks this year and a position of need). 

*** I think they would use the assets to move back into position to get either Sam Howell or Matt Corral as WFT would have to trade pick 42. Panthers could trade 2022 42 and 2023 2nd round and a 4th round pick to try and get back into the bottom of the 1st round.

Didn’t they draft a LT the year before Burrow though? Jonah Williams

Yes but look at this starting line

jonah williams LT 1st rd pick 

quinten Spain guard undrafted FA

trey Hopkins undrafted FA

hakeem adeniji 6th rd pick

isiah prince 6th rd pick (Miami)

the fact burrow made this work into a Super Bowl team is insane.

I can’t stress enough that this is not normal. Burrow is just really special. We absolutely need to snag a qb and I’m on board with grabbing one at 6 but we need to throw draft picks and FA money at the line as well because what burrow has done here is the exception not the norm. Like usually you would need an elite defense to counteract shitty oline play but they don’t even have that. Burrow has just been incredible in big moments and the defense has been opportunistic.

    • 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.
