Really. Landry was a good player, but I find it similarly difficult to justify a safety in the top 10. Not like the Redskins are a paragon of great drafting over the last 20 years. 

I don't necessarily disagree but someone is about to draft Kyle Hamilton in the top 10 in just over a month. My point is you look for All-Pro level players that will be with your team for the next 10 years. Problem is, it's so difficult to do that, each year there are major busts in the top 10.

My point is you look for players who provide you appropriate value, as someone else demonstrated earlier. You are a lot better off trying to find a center somewhere other than the top 10 picks of the first round of the draft than you are a QB, a WR, a LT, a CB, etc.

And that is the core of the problem. Hence why I just want them to go LT at 6. You have three shots at getting a stellar prospect there, just take a stab at one and not over think it.

Agreed. I would rather get a LT (if one of the top 3 are available) and go from there. It would be nice if we could score the C cut by the Browns.

If we don't get a LT in Free Agency, then that's my #1 hope for the draft. If the LT's are gone, then I wouldn't be upset with Linderbaum at #6 if they did go that route / couldn't find a trade down partner.

Depends on the Safety: Ed Reed, Troy P, Ronnie Lott, Steve Atwater, etc are the type of players who you literally have to account for on every snap. I'd take a ball hawking Hall of Fame safety in a heartbeat in today's pass happy NFL.

No doubt. I agree 100%. I'm just saying if you don't think the guys that play those positions are high level I think you go with someone who you think is a lock for the next 10 years. Plug, play, not worry about that position for 10 years. Hopefully, there is one of those top 3 tackles on the board and this is a moot discussion.

Which is why someone is going to draft Hamilton in the top 10...maybe top 5.

You never know how a player will pan out once he's drafted, but that kid looks really promising.  If we were set at every position on the offensive side of the ball (which unfortunately we aren't), I'd have no problems with us picking Hamilton at #6 and pairing him with Chinn on the backend. We'd arguably have the best safety tandem in the NFL for the next 3-5 years. If Horn and Henderson panned out, we could possibly have the best secondary in in the NFL.

Agreed. Preach!

I just can't justify taking a C that high. I like him as a prospect but a whiff there is really bad. That is only only bad thing about C, you can't play center well, you aren't an NFL player. A LT miss might be able to play RT or OG and still succeed. 

But, if all else fails.....I wouldn't be mad at the pick. Just upset we couldn't trade down to make it happen.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Nobody is giving up a 4th rounder for a backup QB And anyone who needs a starter badly enough to where Bryce would then be their starter, is such a bad team that they're not giving up a pick likely to be about pick 105ish overall, instead of just dealing with a bad QB situation for a season and then drafting one in a loaded QB draft next year. I'm looking through all the teams right now and can't think of a single one that would be willing to part with anything better than a 6th rounder. Barring injuries (and excluding the Panthers), there look to be 10 teams who don't know with 100% certainty who their starting QB will be in 2027... Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Steelers, Vikings, Colts, Saints, Falcons, Cardinals, and Rams. Of those 10...  The Rams know it will be Stafford or Simpson.  The Saints more than likely will be sticking with Shough unless he takes a huge step backwards.  So neither are giving up any draft picks for Bryce right now, just wouldn't make sense for either. Down to 8 Given their current QB situation of having multiple QBs they already need to evaluate between this year, the Browns (Shedeur/Watson), Vikings (Kyler/JJ), Colts (Jones/Richardson/Leonard), and Falcons (Penix/Tua), wouldn't be giving up a 4th (or maybe any pick) to bring in another QB to muddy the waters even more. Down to 4 Dolphins just signed Willis and wouldn't want to bring in another small Alabama QB who has struggled after just dumping Tua instead of just rolling with Ewers as the backup.   That then leaves the Steelers, Cardinals, and Jets left as it's clear none of them have any idea who their 2027 could be as of right now.  But the Steelers would for sure rather just see what one of the 2 QB's they drafted in the last 2 drafts could become than give up a mid round pick for Bryce.  Same goes for the Cardinals in taking Beck this past weekend. The Jets would be the most likely team to even consider taking him on, but I think it seems very apparent right now given them rolling with Geno and now talk of bringing in Wilson to be his backup, they're punting on QB this year to draft someone next year, so why give up even a mid round pick for Bryce?

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      By strato · Posted

      Honestly I am not sure Pickett couldn’t step in for him. But I don’t see a clear easy upgrade and we are not KC with Alex Smith we are a team that hadn’t done poo for almost ten years and just made the playoffs. And looked good in the game. That stadium atmosphere on that day…. you know Tepper ate that poo up. Not one drink has been thrown in a while.  You had better make sure if you replaced him after that that you had a sure fire upgrade.

      Makes sense. If Bryce is ass this year, we are probably drafting our new QB next draft and sitting him behind Bryce for a year
