I am starting to get the feeling that our lack of involvement in the free agent QB market of late (Baker, JG), our comments/hints about wanting to move back, etc. might suggest that we will forego a top OT, trade back, grab a QB later, and play BC at T.

So much depends on our evaluation of Christensen.  The biggest smokescreen of all could be the fact that everyone assumes that we have no LT when the answer was on the roster all along.   Just spitballin' here!

And I realize that some of you think BC is not the answer, but this is my view of what they might be thinking.  Frankly, I hope we draft Cross or Neal--but then who do we play at QB?

That thought has crossed my mind.

I'd prefer we didn't, but it's possible.

If rumors are true, the draft starts with pick 6.

1. Jaguars - Travon Walker

2. Lions - Kayvon Thibodeaux

3. Texans - Derek Stingley

4. Jets - Icky Ekwonu

5. Giants - Aidan Hutchinson

6. Panthers

Best Available:

Sauce Gardner

Evan Neal

Garrett Wilson

Charles Cross

Kyle Hamilton

Drake London

Someone is going to want to jump up to our spot for Sauce Gardner (ahead of Giants, Seahawks, or Jets) or Garrett Wilson/Drake London (Giants, Jets, Redskins, Falcons, Vikings).

The Panthers should have people calling to move up. Especially from Jets, Texans, Seahawks, and Eagles (They have multiple firsts and more flexibility to trade away picks). I see a trade down. It will be too tempting for Fitterer to reject.

If all 3 tackles are gone and we cannot trade down

Willis

Willis is a long term enormous gamble. You would have to sit him for at least 1 season possibly 2 or more.

In that situation you are dumping PJ while keeping Sam. You would also have to bring in a vet to put Sam on the bench or on the street. Or you keep Sam as the starter and PJ as the backup until Willis is ready. You will have to extend Sam or get someone else until Willis is ready, if he ever is. 

It will be the almost the same for any of these QB'S I'm afraid.

Sheena Quick on QB speculation...

 

That's what pisses me off about Pickett (and this pro readiness) narrative..

It took him 5 years to be college ready..

And

He isn't assured to beat out Sam who has a strong arm and more athletic..

I'd do this for 13, 37, and 68 or 80

I think they REALLY like Garrett Wilson

We'd be a pretty ideal trade target to get ahead of ATL, NYJ, SEA, & WAS, all potential WR suitors.  And we're probably pretty tight connection wise after ongoing Watson discussions for the past 1.5 years.

We land 13, 37, 80 and a future 3rd (or something like that)

      Panthers give Ashawn Robinson permission to seek trade

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      Damn I liked A'Shawn too. This is basically a heads up we're planning on cutting you move.  Robinson wasn't the best but I loved his attitude and effort on the field. He held that entire dline together when Brown went down iirc..granted we finished that season as the worst rushing defense in modern NFL history.  If Wharton would have performed up to atleast half of his salary last season, I'd feel a little better about it. We do need that cap space though.

      13. Carolina is coming. The Panthers are well thought of around the league. Their "process" seems sound. I think their off-season will be very interesting to keep an eye on. They made the playoffs, but they're not yet knocking on the door. (Offense was 26th in EPA/play.) I think it's imperative they don't overestimate where they are in their build. They can't throw a ton of money around in FA to "make a run now". They need to be intentional about building a solid foundation. (IMO) And from what I know about the team... I think they will be. Sidenote: I have my eye on offense there, not defense. They HAVE to leave next season with a strong opinion on Bryce Young. They need to put pieces around him to do that. Can't be left wondering what he would have looked like with "better OL play" or "more pass catchers". They have to know. (That part is purely my opinion. No one told me that.) https://x.com/lindsay_rhodes/status/2027212533417869499?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

      Because this DL is completely reliant on Brown being available and being a stud. Without him we were the worst D in history. The Wharton signing last year reeked of desperation. He just isn't a great fit for us schematically and I think we panicked a little bit when we missed out on Milton Williams who would have been a great fit.
