2022 Draft / Best Player Available

[OceanPanther]

I haven't heard this term much this draft season..  Best Player Available.  Maybe they only say it after they draft a position they don't need help in.

Most of us agree we need help at more than 1 position.  Defensive end,  Linebacker, Quarterback, Offensive Tackle.

We're probably solid at long snapper ,

Personally I think the quarterbacks available, aren't first round picks. Yes, every one of them has "potential " to be as great as Tom Brady. So I hope we don't use a 6th pick on a quarterback  and look more to the Offensive Tackle if available .

Trading back, in what the talking heads call a weak draft, might be hard. But should we be able to, I'd be ok  with a QB in the 3rd round. 

Best Player Available.   Is that what we'll ( panthers )  will do ??  if so, who is that ? 

Would it drive you crazy if it's Defensive Back  at 6 ? or a running back ?  etc..

Is Best Player Available a term of the past , no longer what GM's  think ?

No it wouldn’t, because it makes your football team better.

Arguably the top 6 players are either defensive or offensive linemen. Hutchinson, Walker, Thibs, Neal, Cross, Icky. We are at least guaranteed one of these players by pick 6 and they would fill a need and be BPA. Of course unless we reach for a QB. 

[Varking]

Thibs is the pipe dream right now. 

[Wundrbread33]

The closer we get to the draft, the more I think BPA at 6 for us is Jordan Davis. 

Defensive pick would piss off the fan base. Another DT would upset people too, but he (along with Neal) is a freak unicorn at a position we actually suck at.

It makes so much sense for us. Brown would look better instantly too. 
 

 

Either way this top 10 is loaded with big guys and we should pick a lineman, whether offensive or defensive. Need lines up with BPA.

If Sauce is there he would probably be the best player available
