Is There Anyone Other Than a T or QB for the Panthers at #6

I have no idea what these people will do. Reaching for a QB or drafting a CB would be another year of disappointment in the draft but that is small time for me compared to the idea of them using next year's draft capital in this draft. 

No one we took in the first 3 rounds last year started more than 3 games. Luck, coaching decisions or poor free agent signings they felt they had to play...doesn't matter that is just awful on all levels. They need to do better but I'm not sure this crew can scrape a good draft together.

I mean… if somehow it went - Neal, Icky, Cross, Willis, Aiden for whatever reason, what would you guys wanna do?

Trade back and target  Penning, Pickett or Drake London... maybe.  That's a doomsday  scenario....

I don't know that I'd consider them a unified front at this point.

Fitterer seems to want to build for the long term. Matt Rhule can't necessarily afford to do that.

I know, I know, I know, Fit is an independent genius saddled with Rhule, yadda yadda.

I'm not impressed by what he's done, either independently or dependently of Rhule. He's just Gettleman who wouldn't be caught dead at a yard sale and lower riding shorts.

Let's see if he can turn four picks into  14 this year and still manage to not grab a 17-game starter.

Edit to add: Let's make it easier, just an 8 game starter.

If Hutch, Walker/Willis, and all 3 tackles go in the top 5 = Draft Thibodeaux

If Hutch, Thibodeaux, and all 3 tackles go in the top 5 = Sauce

This is assuming you can’t trade back. Honestly, I don’t think most teams would be willing to offer what’s needed to trade up to 6 with those guys off the board 

I agree that Thibs isn’t a bad choice at 6. If we get screwed in that 2nd scenario I’d prefer Travon Walker. I think he’d have a bigger impact than Sauce year 1/2.

I can’t really argue with that. There’s just something about lining up Sauce and Horn on the outside with DJax in the middle that makes salivate.

Honestly, I wouldn't be stunned with us taking Walker, Thibodeaux, or Garrett Wilson (we really liked Jaylen Waddle last year)

He's going to be a stud.  May not make sense for us, but I think people will look back and he'll be this one superstar out of the draft with not much else.

It's the big 3 OTs, trade back or worst case scenario take the best edge guy.  If all OTs are gone, one of the edge rushers HAS to drop, either Walker or Thibodeaux.  I'd prefer Walker, put him on the strong side and move Burns to the weak side.  YGM is probably going to be a career backup and the rest of the supporting cast is marginal.  I still can't believe we re-sign Haynes. I guess as a reserve he's okay, but if pressed into starting duties due to injury?  That's a definite no.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
