If we trade down into the first, it's going to be Pickett.  Gut feeling.

And we will likely get some IOL, WR, and DL with the remainder of the draft.  Hopefully IOL in the 2nd if we gain one.

If we stay put? Neal. Gut says Ekwonu and Cross are gone

1. Walker (lol)

2. Thibodeaux

3. Hutchinson? Stingley?

4. Ekwonu (They covet Jermain Johnson but this way they can try to get him at 10/trade up)

5. Cross (or Hutch?)

6. Neal (or) Trade Down w/ NYJ (10), HOU (13), PHI (15).  Land Pickett.

The big wildcard is still Houston.  If they pass on Hutchinson but the Jets covet getting an OT, Could we legimtiately have Hutchinson fall into our laps?

no he would get taken by the giants in that case.

Jets are going for Sauce or Drake to make a splash

I'm feeling Neal or Icky being there at 6 and we trade down and the board has a meltdown but we pick up an extra first and/or a 2nd depending on how far we fall. Wouldn't surprise me one bit to see Philly trade up and give us the Saints 1st next year

They need to come out of this with QB competition for Darnold, a difference maker on defense, and solid rotation/future starters at LB, TE, and G. 

This is what we'll do:

1. Trade back with Philly.  6 for 15, 51, and Minstache.

2. If Cross is still there at 15, Take him.  Otherwise trade back with Pittsburg.  15 for 20, 84, 138.  (Pitt moves up for Willis).

3. At 20 we take Devin Lloyd, LB (alternative - Kenyon Greene G or Penning T)

4. At 51 we take Cole Strange G, Rasheed Walker T, or Petit-Frere T (assuming we did not go G/T in First).  (Alternative - Muma LB or possibly Troy Anderson LB).

5. At 84 I could see Barno DE, Cross S, Kolar TE, Robinson RB, or maybe Bruss G/T. 

We would still have 137, 138, 144, 149, 200, and 243 for more projects - but I think the top 2 picks (plus stache) would see the field a lot in 2022.

Devin Lloyd

Panthers have addressed their OL in free agency. OL can be addressed in several rounds with many quality OL who could start in the NFL. Later round QBs are better than expected and early round QBs are worse than hoped. LB position outside of Shaq Thompson is weak and last I looked you need 3 LBs. The Panthers have decent LB depth with some issues in free agency LB signings. Securing a 5 year leader at LB who can play a versatile role in Snow's 33 is the most valuable move at the 6th pick. I expect several teams to try to jump the Seahawks to draft Lloyd, and Carolina would want to keep this very quiet with the likes of the Chiefs, Eagles, Seahawks, Packers, and Giants aiming for Lloyd.

    • That is definitely the down side of all this--on paper, I would offer up a second rounder for him if he passed my interviews.  He has already gone through (seriously?) a treatment program for gambling addiction.  I just see him as a first round talent that would could get with a second rounder.  If I liked Bryce and felt good about paying him $50m per, I would not touch him.  If he regresses or stays the same--he is going to expect to be paid.  Sorsby, in my view, has a better long-term future as an NFL QB.  He is big, mobile, has good arm strength, and makes wise decisions (on the field) with the football.  I think he is a perfect solution for the backup qb position and insurance for Bryce should he get injured or suck.  
    • Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.
    • He did himself more harm than good by engaging in this ridiculous legal battle. One it brought to light how much gambling he was actually doing and two it made him a very unlikable figure from a public perspective because he was challenging the perceived sanctity (lol) of college sports. Then to make things worse his lawyers convinced a very stupid and very gullible old boomer judge to agree with him. Now he’s a lightning rod entering the league and that’s not a good place to be.
