I'm certain 90% of people here will hate it no matter what.

I fall in the Lt or trade back camp.  I like cross best I think since I've read he projects as the best pass blocker which is what I'd want.

I think Neal is the better pass blocker.

We trade back with Phi for their 1st (15) + 3rd + Minshew. 

Cross falls to 15. 

I'd take that deal all day.

EDIT: I misread this.  I thought we got their 2nd - #51, not their 3rd - #83. But I'd still take it. Hell, #18, #51 and Minshew would be a good haul.

I think Tepper's press conference has a lot of influence on how the draft plays out. If Tepper REALLY supports Rhule and gives him 5 years to build this team, then Rhule is not on the hot seat and is not pressured into reaching for a QB at pick 6. Panthers trade back into teens or possibly early 20 and gets 2nd or 3rd round picks. If by chance Willis or Pickett fall to them that far down the board where their value matches their pick, then they will pull the trigger and draft their QB.  Win/win situation. If we trade down and don't get a QB, then pick BPA (LB/DL/OL) and pick QB in next year's draft.

I predict we trade down and a top tier OT falls to us when we do.   We end up with a QB and NOT one the top tier OL prospects after 2 rounds...but we do get an OT. 

Matt Rhule then claims we would have taken the QB at #6 so it was super genius move.

    • Like I said El Captain doesn't score much but when he does its because he through the team on his back and WILLED the Canes to victory.... he's been so clutch the past few years in HUGE moments.
    • You can feel the Cresendo rising.... Rags fans are terrified everything just feels like the Canes do this.... I'll be at PNC Thursday.... make it loud make it proud.... I think it's gonna be a game were the Canes play at least 2 elite periods and Slaughter the Rags.... You could almost feel the moment the Rags will was broken in Game 5.... 
    • One of the things that we have heard is that Canales is going to be putting a heavy emphasis on the run and that has made more than a few frustrated because "it's a passing league" and "you don't draft a QB 1st overall to have a run heavy offense". This isn't to argue either of those points, just pointing out something interesting i saw. I heard a comment yesterday someone made talking about how Canales' offense is going to look like what was seen in Seattle and what did Seattle do? Ran...a lot. This isn't something that i really noticed much at the time and, frankly, i'm kind of surprised by this. I mean they had Russ who was at the time a very good and very dangerous QB, and they still ran a lot (too much by Russ' opinion, which is why he wanted out). Yeah, Russ wasn't drafted first overall, or even in the first round. But looking at what he was able to do probably should have been. I checked to see just how much they ran and, well...here it is. I looked at their rush vs pass attempts and where they were ranked within the league for each.  For most of that time span i'd say they were pretty successful. after Russ got there they didn't have a losing season until 2021 and even then, that's been our ceiling for a while. During that whole time of their successes they were always in the bottom half in the league as far as passing attempts go. As a rushing team, i think their best seasons were when they were a rushing top heavy team.  is this a strategy that most of us would choose? probably not, but it can work. it doesn't matter the reasoning for being rush heavy as long as they can make it work and i think with this OL and RB room i think we can. Will it be the most exciting style of play? i don't know. but if it can keep us in games and help us win, i'm all for it.
