My Draft Wish List

If a QB falls to 33 we will get to trade back and hopefully get 4 players in rounds 2-3

I don't agree if it's a huge fall. Like 33 to 50 and 60 or something. Having 2 picks in top 40 is incredibly valuable you won't have the same options later in R2 or in R3

They arent permanent solutions.  Both will be 27/28 when the season starts. So they will be relatively old by the time they're contracts are done. In 3-4 years. We also still need a permanent solution at center. We also struggled mightily with guard injuries in the past year+.

I guess you could change Barton to whatever player you think would be best at Center. Ideally with the last 2nd rounder or the 3rd. Center is so important that I wouldn't mind getting it with our first pick.

I wouldn't even be mad if they traded both 2nd round picks to get Jackson Powers Johnson who is widely regarded as the best Center prospect in the draft. Nobody thinks he'll drop to the 2nd round.  But if he does he should be the pick imo.

I don't know man I think we need to start feeling other spots on the roster. We can draft a another guard in the later rounds.

Round 3 RB  Braelon Allen - Really Really want this guy.  Miss the days of the bowling ball run you over type RB.

"human wrecking ball" that's a decent catcher and good in pass protection??? Yes Please. I know we have more pressing needs, but I'm with you. I love a punishing RB!

If I'm taking my wishlist to a mock draft then per pff:

33: Keon Coleman (WR)... Speaks for itself. 

39: Malachi Corley (WR)... Explosion

65: Van Pran (C).. Corbett insurance/skill set to become a starter.

101: Jeremiah Trotter Jr (LB)...Going off potential. Good bloodline

141: Audric Estime or Allen  (RB)....  The powerback we lack

142: Jahiem Bell or Jared Wiley(TE)... Keon, Estime and Wiley/Bell 4th qtr in the redzone... that's work. 

240: Austin Reed (QB)...Get Canales around him and let him learn. Why not take a late flyer. 

Only one reach which is what we normally do anyway. And after that draft, the offense should be fixed. It's on Bryce at that point.

Round 2 WR Xavier Worthy or Keon Coleman

Round 2 C Zach Frazier

Round 3 RB  Braelon Allen - Really Really want this guy.  Miss the days of the bowling ball run you over type RB.

 

These super speed guys haven’t lasted and neither have the big slow guys.

Braelon Allen has been on my radar for a while.  He is a straight line bruiser with very good long speed.  Hips aren’t great but he can catch a little.  Big man with power…do want

Estime or Allen, I'd be happy with either.

I see a lot of rankings and comments knocking Troy Franklin but he would be a great pick at 33 or 39.  Track star with good hands and a star mentality.  Needs to get bigger but he can work on that.
Not a big McConkey fan and there just something about AD Mitchell that worries me.  He is an elite talent but just doesn’t come across as lead guy.

Really like Payton Wilson and Cade Stover.  I hear you @Byrdman4real

    • What's up gents, the OGs remember me, the guy who single-handedly gave the Panthers the greatest uniform in history moniker. Not too long after that I got involved with Pro Football Focus (pre-Collinsworth acquisition) and ended up taking backseat here to preserve some objectivity. But from a distance I noticed a lot. After the end of the Cam era this place devolved into the most un-fun, petty, negative cesspool of whining and bitching that has ever graced the internet. The worst part of it all is that the level of discussion turned into the most ill-informed, hot-take, unnuanced crap, rife with people talking out of their posteriors as if they have any clue about what they are watching. Once you get into the professional side of the sport and actual film rooms, you start to understand there's an absurd number of moving parts to pretty much every snap and the details you are privy to are truly only half the picture. The absolute most important thing I learned from being part of professional level football analysis is that quarterbacking is literally the most intricate and difficult position in all of professional sports, and that the NFL itself is struggling to develop any workable model that allows them to understand what makes one succeed vs what makes one fail. Because of this paradox it has also made the quarterback position itself grossly overvalued from a fan and media standpoint, creating an absurd fixation on the results delivered by a single player who has to rely on the contributions of everyone around them. This also drives the dreaded inflation of QB salaries that inevitably cause even elite teams to lose key talent all to pour cash into the one player supposed to be able to single-handedly elevate the entire team (and defense and special teams and coaching and ownership by some mysterious proxy), yet without those same players even talented teams can wander the wilderness searching for the right guy to take advantage of their talent window. The discussions the last few years around Bryce has personified this insanity, as this board has devolved into some sort of electronic civil war between the hyperbolic Young supporters and the vitriolic Bryce haters. The reality, like practically everything in this world, is somewhere in the middle. He has traits that can absolutely elevate a team with creativity, play recognition, off-arm angle throws, mental toughness, etc. He's also physically limited, with mostly "good-enough" qualities for most situations that a professional quarterback is asked to do, and will never be an overpowering physical force like pre-injury Cam. But "good-enough" physicality represents a large majority of championship-winning quarterbacks, even in the modern era. There's a reason the corpse of Peyton Manning took the chip from elite physical specimen Cam, because the team surrounding him was talented enough to get him there, while we all know Cam was the driving force of that 2015 team. That's no knock on him, that's just how the game of football tends to work: the more complete team usually wins. The summary is this: if this team lives or dies solely on the performance of its quarterback, then it is absolutely a paper tiger even if he plays brilliantly week in and out. There are no superheroes in this sport, there are only conduits that proxy the collective efforts of much of the team around them. And no one alive can tell you how the position is played perfectly, it's all a confluence of circumstance and what unique collection of traits each player brings to the position, which can never be truly recreated season after season, even for the same player on the same team. If this place remains a raging hellscape of idiotic hot takes I will happily remove myself again and do something more productive for yet another decade, but maybe's there hope that we can all get back to the old adage, and keep pounding.
