How would you build the roster and draft?

Here is how I would build it.... Trade down in the second to pick up an extra late third....

Not too shabby but I don’t think we need to take Tillman all that early. I’d definitely move down, hopefully someone is enticed by something.

My dream IDEAL scenario is that we get wind that Houston falls in love with one guy. Tell them we want that 12 pick (pipe dream, I know, don’t bash the hustle). That 12 pick comes up and MAYBE say Bijan falls. Nab him or trade for a later first and additional second. That later first, we take Flowers. With our first second round pick, take Gibbs, with the extra second round pick, take Rice. Third round take Tillman or maybe someone like Michael Wilson. Fourth round , grab whatever is available of Laporta or Kuntz. I KNOW THERES A .2 PERCENT CHANCE THIS HAPPENS, LET ME DREAM! Lol.

 

So yeah it’d be - qb (not gonna pick one because its too political), bijan from the trade to 12, Rice or Hyatt at 39, Laporta or Kuntz 4th.

 

Or play trade musical chairs and end up with a whole new offense- qb, flowers, Gibbs, rice/Tillman/Wilson , then Laporta or Kuntz.

Here me out.

IF the Panthers think they can get "there QB1" at 2 and can swap spots with HOU, while gaining the Texans' #33 overall.....I'd send #39 to DEN for Jerry Jeudy. 

Give our new young QB1 a 23-year old former FRP that is an immaculate route runner with deceptive speed. We would move up 6 spots in the draft to take whomever we want. Maybe Darnell Washigton or Michael Mayer are there.....maybe a stud NT or a complimentary WR like Downs/Flowers/Hyatt/Tillman. 

We could reallocate the money we were going to spend on a FA WR and shift it to someone like Schultz or Geisicki. Re-sign Foreman

 

CJ7

Foreman

Jeudy-Downs-TMJ-Shenault

Schultz-Tremble

Ickey-BC-Boze-Corbett-Moton

The defense is, IMO, a couple of DL and depth CBs away from being complete. I think Evero and Capers will help bring Brandon Smith along and eventually replace Shaq inside in 2024. Chinn pulls a TD and converts to LB fully, and we find a third CB. Woods-Bell will be solid for the next two years as well holding up the backend.

Our cap opens up immensely in '24 as well.

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
