When they go to negotiate, I'd expect them to offer the #7 before they'd offer the #5.

But again, that's negotiation.

I think they know what the rest of the league knows:  Panthers are going QB.  So the #5 pick has a ton more value for teams moving up for a QB.  I think they are leveraging what we have made rather obvious.

The Giants know that if Detroit and Houston (both with serviceable QBs and other needs) pass on the QB, then it is likely WillisPickett will be there at #5.  They obviously feel (if they want a QB) they can get one with 5 or 7--or they could just roll with Jones and maybe take Howell in round 2--dunno.  But they know that a move up for a QB is more value than normal--so they are willing to listen.

Who though?  Who is moving to 5

For sure but going from 20 to 5 is pricey and I doubt the giants want to go that far back

I heard that Tomlin is in love with the kid and will do what he has to do---so we shall see---If the Giants get the #7, #20 and many other picks or players, they can be persuaded--I think that is what they are announcing, but that far?  Good point.

Take a LT this year and draft a QB next year. Anyone with half a brain knows this is the best option considering how much better next years QB class is supposed to be. This gives you a year to make sure the offensive line is fixed before you put a rookie QB behind it.

Unfortunately, Tepper didn’t fire Rhule so you already know Rhule is going to do every he can to try and draft Pickett to try and save his job. LT will be ignored once again and we’ll be watching another train wreck unfold and come this time next year will still be in need of a LT and QB. 

It’s okay though because remember, it took Jay-Z 7 years.

Yeah you have to look at the situation excluding Rhule. If Rhule wasn’t our coach we would 100% be drafting BPA or moving down to draft multiple BPA. Bc they struck out with ANOTHER QB…they are at risk for reaching. You can’t reach AND leverage future picks. 
 

There are literally 5 first round grade OTs. There are a bunch of QBs who should be late 1st early 2nd round picks. The move shouldn’t be to move up or to trade next years picks. The move should be to move down, get more picks draft an OT, and then if a QB falls get into position to move up to grab them. OR….you stay put and take Ekwonu or Neal and get the QB next year.

That's a nice thought, but you can't.

Rhule still has final say on roster decisions, including draft picks.

Which is why based on track record you can pretty much guarantee Rhule is going to draft Pickett instead of a LT and we will once again have an incomplete offensive line. The QB and offense will struggle due to a patchwork offensive line and we will be right back to square one again this time next year. It’s been this way every year under Rhule.

      Looking ahead

      Sellers has bust written all over him..unless he goes to a team that can afford to sit him where he can learn the game and develop without the pressure of starting immediately. Not sure that is the Panthers. If we do go rookie in the draft, he can't be viewed as a day 1 starter. He does have potential, but I think it is going to have to be a handle-with-care situation.

      I’m not sure people understand how fuging bad it is

      Nothing will change with the qb situation until Tepper is convinced Young is not viable. Until that point, it will be Young. During that time, any shortcomings of Young will be because he does not have the necessary supporting cast, and/or coaches are failing him with faulty schemes and defective gameplans.  So, until Tepper is out, Young is in.

      Young is the kind of QB who will go as far as the team drags him 90% of the time. And once in a long while he'll explode and light the opposing team up. That is not anywhere near where we need to be as a team. What' worse is that we've won way too many games this season due to an extremely easy schedule. So we can't select a top QB in the draft, and a free agent QB is usually not the answer.  The Panthers fell victim to a long stretch of bad QBs coming out of college. Even if we had made different moves and selected any number of different QBs coming out, we still would have ended up with a bust most likely. Bryce is a bust. Tua is a bust. Zach Wilson? Yikes. Trey Lance. Justin Fields. Mac Jones. Kenny Picket. CJ Stroud. My point is that a lot of teams were devastated by this stretch of bad QBs coming out of college, but we were dumb enough to trade the farm for one of them.  The smart move? Tale the 2 first round picks from the Rams for Burns, and keep CMC. Sit tight. Whatever QB falls in your lap in the draft, take him. Then use the other two first round picks to build up the o-line on the cheap. This isn't Morning GMing. I said take the Rams deal at the time. We have not had a good GM ever in franchise history.  No more trading up for QBs. Clearly is a total guessing game. Stay put. Trade vets for draft picks and start the rebuilding process with a new GM and new coaches. Cut Bryce and bring him back on a vet min deal. Then cut him again for being trash. He's done here if I had any say.
