trade back for more picks or maybe a shuffling that allows us to trade one of our later picks for an earlier one...that's acceptable as well.

i just want to make sure that we don't lose any of the number of picks we have. keep the same number or get more.

What alot of us are missing is that important 5th year option. If you trade up and hit on your pick that 5th year will be very valuable. 

An extra year to delay paying a player isn't really that great.  If they are phenomenal, you might have to or want to come to an extension before they are through their entire rookie deal.

If you hit on enough players that you are having trouble deciding which to sign long term, that's a great problem to have.  And not one that's going to be solved by a 5th year option.

If the quality of players is roughly equal between the late 1st and mid 2nd, I'd rather have more chances at picking a good player.

last year the 33rd essentially just landed the trading team an additional 3rd round pick.  Everything else was swapping picks. 

I'd rather just draft BPA at 33

I am pretty sure that this draft is so loaded that there will be a first round talent at #33, making it difficult to trade out of--If Chop Robinson (probably the top 3-4 Edge that could be there) or Adonai Mitchell (arguably the top WR with a first round grade) is there--no brainer.

Now, since you didn't ask, bonus analysis:

  • Chop Robinson is the fourth rated Edge in the draft, and I see him going to either Buffalo at #28 or Detroit at #29
  • Mitchell will be the fifth or sixth WR off the board, and unless the Chiefs go for Keon Coleman, there is no way Mitchell gets by KC

I see the Panthers drafting from the following positions in round 2:  Edge, WR

I see the Panthers drafting from the following positions after round 2:  CB, TE, C, WR

well, the team that traded for the 33rd last year was for a QB that slid... 

I mean, and all they got was a 3rd.  That's some bad recent precedent in terms of value to get out of it.  and we are the Panthers.....so we probably would trade the 33rd for a 8th rounder.  Only to realize, that didn't exist.

If Chop Robinson is there he would be the no brainer pick for me. Then follow with massive DT Sweat at 39 and we have a very exciting defense. Then go best WR in the 3rd round.

Sweat was who I liked but with AShawn Robinson now I’m not sure if it’s a must. And either Robinson at 33 I could live with.

Glad you said this, i am really high on Sweat and think him and Brown would make a great tandem. Nobody would be able to run the ball on us.

I mean, I like a solid well-timed "I mean" as much as the next guy, but...it's getting a bit out of control.

I'm strongly against trading up into R1 unless it's for Jackson Powers Johnson. And even then I'm not willing to part with any 2025 picks,  we're already down a R2 pick in 2025 from the trade up for Bryce last year.

Just generally speaking when you're a shitty team you want to get more picks instead of giving them away. That's part of what screwed Fitterer he kept giving away picks till the very end and it put us in the meteor sized hole we're trying to climb out of right now.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      Right. But you do understand that there is no such thing as not signing free agents, right? That's what I mean. So make some good free agency moves and do well in the draft. That's step one. If you can't accomplish that, then this will just keep getting worse.

      Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.
