Does the Atlanta pick influence the Panthers on day 2?

With  the Bijan Robinson pick made a statement about their running game (and short passing game too).  As they are a division rival (maybe on the upswing) does that have any influence over who the Panthers pick?

Maybe, but I don't think so.  Tonight will probably tell.

So, regarding the Falcons, their running game was just fine last season. Their problems were on the defensive side. Robinson is a good player. Too bad he went to the Falcons. To me he seems to be a piece that is added to a team that is contending, or right on the cusp. They aren't contending for anything. I doubt there is much influence on the board.

Think we need to stick with the plan they have in place and not worry about what other teams do, especially the Falcons.  

I honestly think the falcons are setting themselves up for failure with the pick of Bijan in the first round.  We certainly know what it's like to have a premier backfield threat without decent QB play.

Barring injury he's a great player.

Top 3 player in this Draft (if you don't count positional value).

    • Will be interesting to see how the Caps adjust. They were thoroughly beaten in this game despite it going to OT and they knew it by getting chippy. If they lose game 2 they’re in a hole they might not be able to dig themselves out of. They played old and tired tonight and I think they might get swept. 
    • He makes a good point about Wallace.  In fairness to Wallace it is hard to play your position as freely as you need to when your defensive line is getting pushed around like ragdolls.  One of the greatest attributes a defensive line has is sucking up blocks, freeing up your linebackers.  Our defensive line couldn't suck up a lollipop more or less blocks.  I think Evans, Sanders and Tremble are going to be a really nice TE group.  I can see all three getting time on the field.  If Sanders can improve as a blocker teams won't be so inclined to believe it is a pass play whenever Sanders is on the field.  Ryan Fitzgerald, I think was an awesome pick-up. Hopefully he can fill our kicker void. Luke Kandra many turn out to be our next Norwell.  Everything I have heard about him says he's a beast.  He needs some refinement, but the good news is he's got Hunt and Lewis (arguably the best guard tandem in the league) to learn from. 
    • Great teams build through the draft and have several young players that start that are on rookie contracts. It's important to hit on players in rounds 4 thru 7.  These should be future starters and solid depth.  When you hit on most of your picks you free up a lot of cap space for those one- or two-year players to fill spots you are thin at. No GM is going to perfect on all their picks.  You're going to whiff every once in a while.  That was Hurney problem.  He'd nail the first pick but after that it was reach after reach and we couldn't get any depth on this team. I'm excited about Morgan as our GM and hopefully he'll be around a long time.  It will be even better if Canales can continue to grow as a head coach, both in the development of young players and play calling. I remember last season after Young came back in the lineup and started to perform well.  We saw different plays I had only seen other teams use.   If Canales's play design and play calling continue to grow. Morgan and Canales will be linked together for a long time.  It would be nice to see a Coach and GM together for a decade or two. Go Panthers
