I am not reading this entire thread but I felt that my voice needs to be heard--even if it is repetitive.

Here is what we know:
The Giants have announced they want to trade #5.

The Saints went after Watson and still want a QB, even though they added Dalton to play behind Crablegs.

The Saints and Giants have probably worked out a deal to trade on draft day if a certain player is available.

The Saints know that the Panthers (6), Falcons (8), and Seahawks (9) are in the market.

It's a lot of moving parts but it's possible.

And if you do the math--what it cost to get the additional first rounder--then what it will cost to move up---that is a hefty price for Willis or Pickett.

Dare i say. Would the panthers consider trading with saints to get those 2 first round picks?? Lol 

If the Giants don't deal or the Panthers offer a better deal, they could to leapfrog not only Carolina, but Atlanta and Seattle as well.

seems as logical as anything.

What are the other options?

Moving up for a tackle?  seems expensive 

Some have said they have a big need at tackle and WR.  Maybe they keep both picks and try to fill both and win with Winston?  Seems really risky especially this far out.

Maybe they really like one of the QBs they expect to be there in the mid part of round 1.  This way they have 2 picks, they can draft someone like Howell or Ridder and still draft a WR or OT? Also seems risky this far out.

Depends on how you grade them.

IMO it's a move up for Pickett, he actually has quite a few similarities to Brees.  Accurate, good mechanics, can manipulate the short and intermediate game, etc...

That said, it could be for a Tackle...or they just thing the mid portion of the 1st has a lot of firepower.  Didn't they give up two 1's for Armstead 5 years ago?

I had the same thought--I see Pickett as a Saint more than I can see Willis as one--

Was actually thinking about it last night where I thought each could succeed...neither answer was Carolina.  But I think that Willis could do well in Pittsburgh, and Pickett in New Orleans.

The Saints have been pretty good in the draft for a while now, they have a plan for sure.

I agree with you on Pickett. I just hope they aren't intending on stealing him from us. I honestly believe Pickett is going to be great. He has everything he needs to be successful. I've heard he also has the "fire in the belly" like Burrow has. Which I think means he has the Moxy to be a QB in the NFL.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By Icege · Posted

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
