If you were GM, how would you use our that first pick in round 2?

Weak class bro.  We wait and wait and wait and wait and when we decide we can't wait anymore, we  draft a guy in a bad draft class for that position out of desperation.  It's the Panther way.

That’s fair. If they fall then that’s our top priority. If not then idk how anyone would argue against O-line either. We don’t seem to have much success drafting edge rushers in the second so I wouldn't waste a pick there.

If the right QB is there, definitely QB.  The TE class is weak.  Interior OL can be had later.

QB is not the right move. This team is very talent deficient. We have to figure out an identity(we have none now) and build a roster for that.

There is no position on the team that doesn't need help. BPA should basically be all we are interested in.

The biggest problem is the FO and owner. We need competent people making these decisions and that isn't happening.

Im still a pure BPA purist. 

 

There are soooooooo many holes on the team. About the only spot I feel is "ok" with the starters is safety. Worst roster in the league, I feel the gap to cards/giants/pats is pretty large as well. 90% of the panthers best talents are up for contracts/5th yr etc. Just a giant mess.....I fully understand the fitterererer hate, even with rhule at full power...

Whoever we choose must be starter-worthy.  We can't afford any misses or we'll be at this for two decades like the Browns or Lions. (We're already well down that road after recent drafts.)  A solid center or linebacker might not be as sexy as a shot at a might-be wide receiver star, but it will be a solid building block for the future. Like many others, I can't see any flashy free agents coming here in the near future so we need to find some hidden gems. Every missed draft pick hinders our progress and every missed free agent limits our resources. Very little room for failure.

Please don’t put another rookie QB in this mess. OL or WR makes the most sense. Try to build a bit of an offense and if Young can’t show improvement you can replace him in 25. 

Young needs competition. It may not come from draft but it needs to happen. Its not about replacing him as soon as possible but having somebody on the roster that he has to show he is clearly better than and if he isn't showing improvement during the season they can step in and elevate the team.  Another year of this current performance is not gonna cut it.  its too much time, work, preparation put into a season but many individuals to ride on one guys performance. You gotta have somebody ready that can perform at reasonable expectations if he is still underwhelming.

wait.....are you guys serious or trolling about drafting a QB?

If you truly think that a.) we would give up on bryce after one year after giving up that much capital or b.) a second round rookie would look better in this offense as currently constructed please direct your attention to some pepper because you took way too much

 

To answer your question OP, I'd go BPA at WR, OG, OT

Can't say BPA and exclude QB especially if QB happens to be BPA.  I agree that we need help everywhere and should simply zero in on any particular position.

Assuming we fix our line in FA or move Icky to Guard with Christensen at LT.

Ima keep saying it....

Xavier Worthy n the top of second(WR)

In the 3rd: If Chubba is still on the roster, pair him with Jahwar Jordan(RB). If we need a true #1 Audrick Estime (RB) ...I'm not a fan of Sanders. 

Ricky Pearshall in the 4th (WR)... and he's probably going to climb up every draft the closer we get but iirc we only have 2 WRs on contract next year: Mingo and Theilen.. 

Linebacker, and Guard/Center in the later rounds. 

Worthy, Pearsall, Theilen w/Estime. If Bryce can't get off any better with those weapons, he'll never figure it out at this level. 

If we end up with the first pick in the 2nd, I expect our phones will be going crazy. Its usually about 3-5 players with first round talent that drop draft night. I just don't trust Fitterer in the war room.

    • LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.  Mock drafts 
    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
