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.

We gotta fix the OL first 

I believe we have no choice but to get the OL right. I'm ok with addressing both lines of scrimmage. If they can't get the foundation right nothing else matters.

[Ghostofdelhomme]

Let Burns walk, Spend 100mil on the OL and Mike Evans, open qb competition in spring training. No annointing. Draft WR or OL with 2nd 

[AggieLean]

Shiiiettt, if Penix or the LSU QB were there, I’m running up to the podium.

Since they won’t, I’m going offense. WR or TE. I’d go offense this entire draft. Fitt is going to trade the pick, thinking he’s doing something by trading the 2nd for 2 6ths lol.

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. 

[SOJA]

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

[toldozer]

If the number 1 center is on the board that would probably be my pick. Or a guard to replace Corbett.  We have to have a strong interior line

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.

[CarolinaRideorDie]

At this point, we take BPA!! This team is devoid of talent everywhere. Don't pass on a Micah Parson for Jaycee Horn. Don't pass on Luke Kuechly because you already have Jon Beason. Fitt's problem is that he has been reaching for needs and over valuing players.

I would highly, HIGHLY doubt BPA is going to result in a QB in the top of the 2nd.

[ColumbusCounty]

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. 

[hepcat]

Draft the best and fastest WR on the board. I’d pray Xavier Worthy drops.
