QB, TE, WR, OLB/Edge, RB, S--in that order.

Funny how we all have so many variations of opinions--probably because we have not seen the new system and how players will be used.

But this is so wrong. It is just wrong.  It is very incorrect.  (Kidding--who the hell knows?) I see your point--I would love to see us grab a TE and OLB/Edge just because the draft is so deep there. I think we need a CB and possibly an ILB.  Have no idea exactly what Luvu, Chinn, and YGM are going to look like.  I think they should sign a free agent or two to help us prepare our mocks.  Very rude of them. 😵

The entire FA D-front are rentals.  Yes, we have players there this year, but I don't want to start a bunch of rookies in 2024.  D. Williams, Anderson, R. Williams--our project DEs are all on one year deals.  Tuttle is basically a two-year and I honestly don't like the fit at NT.  Roy sucks and is on his last year.  McCall has another year, but an unknown and we have not locked up Brown, who is in his final year. 

Funny how we sign some seat-warming pedestrian FAs for our D-line and everyone wants to gloss over it in the draft.

I read an article or comment about Boutte that turned me against him--they accused him of "lazy" route running and inconsistent hands.  For what it is worth to anyone, I took him off my board for that reason, because when I see his name, that is what pops into my brain.

Ew that would explain his regression… I would like to swap Boutte for Tillman then. Downs in 2nd or Tillman in 3rd.

I will never complain about building up our trenches. OL/DL picks are always a welcome sight in the draft IMO. We need depth at both plus some eventual replacements as you stated.

I think there is some gold in the mid to late 4th round.  I would be 100% on board with trading back from #39 if we were able to pick up a late 3rd or early mid round 4th to add to our war chest.

Here is how I'd love to see it play out:

#1 - Young or Stroud - no preference

2nd - trade back towards the end of the round and pick up Derek Hall (OLB/DE)

3rd (93) - Eli Ricks (CB)

later 3rd - early 4th from trade - Mims, A.T. Perry, Rasheed Rice, or Cedric Tillman

4th (114) - Luke Schoonmaker (TE)

4th (132) - Colby Wooten (Big DE)

5th (145) - Vorhees (G) if he drops this far, can't pass up solid talent or Tyler Steen / Jalen Duncan to shore up our tackle depth

surprised to see Johnston as the only WR above 6’, and he’s a medium sized 6’3”. No big guys this year.

Tillman is 6’3” and has some potential. He was UT’s WR1 over Hyatt before he was injured. Maybe we can get him in the 3rd/4th?

You and I are definitely in love with the same gems later--I (personally) would add Tyler Scott, WR Cincinnati to your WRs at the end of round 3/early 4.  Vorhees will be recovering from surgery, but when he gets healthy, he can beast and play multiple positions.  Perfect developmental OL/depth for now.

Schoonmaker is the TE nobody is talking about but he is solid.

QB at #1, BPA the rest of the way.

Of course it changes on draft day and all the boards and mocks fall apart after the first 20 picks or so, but I think the BPA is likely to be an Edge-I think there are 14 (about 10 of which would be good fits for the Panthers, imo) edge rushers in this draft that are good enough to start early.  However, someone will fall--and that is what makes picking early in round 2 interesting

Edge rushers and TEs are the strength of this draft class on paper. It'd be pretty sweet to come out of day two with one of each.

That is another position that is a bit unclear right now.  We have McCall (56.8) who was decent in limited duty last year and Roy (54.0), who was slightly below average, according to PFF, my only measure of their performance.  Both weigh over 330 lbs.  Then we sign Tuttle, and everyone says he will play nose between Brown and Williams.  I do not see that.  I see YGM (pass rushing specialist on the inside?) and Williams in a rotation with Tuttle and Brown.  If so, are they going with McCall and Roy at NT?  I would hope not.

I actually like the idea of trying out Roy at NT. That's what he was in college and I think his natural Position. He's so big and wide (built like a square), I think he might thrive. If it works out, that give balance on either side with Tuttle and Brown.

If Forbes is there at our 2nd, sure would be hard to pass him up.  He would lock down the nickel spot immediately and gets his hands on a lot of balls.

I think he's the second best CB in this class. Absolute freak ability ball skills

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
