OK Draft Pick Value Gurus....

I was hoping we’d trade up around where the Bills did with Kincaid still on the board. Now I’m hoping any pick now could be a trade up for Mayer. I don’t know any defensive guys worth trading up for but I wouldn’t be surprised there either. Mayer is still my preference. Lotta people thought he’d be gone by the middle of the first.

I'm really suprised they didn't trade up with all the talent that fell from 20 to 31 

The board is a lot more barren now after that late run. 

Best available for me now are probably BJ Ojulari, Michael Mayer, Jonathan Mingo/Jalen Hyatt, Steve Avila/Ocyrus Torrence, Drew Sanders

I'd personally roll with BJ, Mayer will be gone quick. 

Panthers could very easily get a OG or a CB purely on injury concerns at those positions. 

I think not trading up for any WRs showed they're not particularly worried about drafting one high.  I think they trust the dudes they picked up in free agency and the 2nd round pick is most likely to be defensive

what pick in the first round does carolina have logical ammunition to move up to

The Jags pick at 27 would have likely cost us the 2nd (#39), 3rd (#93), and one of the 4ths assuming even value.

Note that there was a LOT of trades tonight for essentially even value. Depending on the chart you use the Pats moved down (14 ->17) and LOST value!

The lack of good trade downs leaves me pessimistic about Fitty's chances of trading down from #39 for decent value tomorrow night.

Not many first round graded players in this draft.  I'd say most teams will have 14-15 players in this draft with 1st round value. Think that's why there was so many trades

This is what I have heard as well. Seems like it isn't a bad draft, just not a ton of top end talent. Seems to be way more 2nd round graded guys than years past, so there's plenty of value to be had tonight. I would love to see us trade back into the low to mid 40s, recoup another 3rd rounder and or potential picks next year as well.

    • I still think it's too soon to say last year's draft was bad. I think those who do are the eternal pessimists. We had 4 players who contributed last season. Two were starters. It's possible all 4 are starters this season. How is that a bad draft? I know it's because our roster was so bad but still, they are on this roster so it's the only one that counts.  Before I say it's a bad draft I prefer to wait and see how they play this season. It's possible we may have FIVE starters from that draft playing the season. Anyone who thinks drafting 5 starters by season two is a bad draft should visit a psychiatrist where they can get a prescription to help them live happier lives.    I'm not saying it was a success yet but I damn sure ain't calling it a failure yet. Most players don't make it. Most of those who do need a little time. One season isn't enough time which is why they are still on the team Leggete, Coker (UDFA but still we got him), Sanders, Smith-Wade and Wallace all showed promise last season. If they all take a step forward then it was a great draft. If only 1 does than it was an average draft. If they regress then and only then will I say it was a bad draft.  Fans often have unreasonable expectations compared to the reality of draft results. I believe this draft will shine as I think it's going to better due to the depth of the class but I also believe we will look back at 2024 and say that was a good class too. I think we have 5 players from that class who will be starters or rotational pieces for the next couple of years at least. That's a win.     
    • Playing devils adovcate here, but if you truly wanted to trade down then it made no sense to be a smoke screen for Walker only.  Especially since Tmac is not a generational type player.  Make it known that he is in play and see if the cowboys or whoever really like him as rumored. 
    • I mean everybody was, there is a difference between wanting them to draft the guy you like and accepting them drafting someone else based off all the intel and rumors. Up until draft night everybody was convinced it was gonna be walker or maybe another defensive player. If you didn't you was just crossing your fingers.
