well, I don’t think it is either….i think need shapes the board.  And if needs shapes it, BPA isn’t really a clear thing. 

Panthers definitely last year let need and even draft runs overly dictate things IMO and influence them 

Canales today said that scheme influences "BPA", or "rankings" rather might be the better word. With this draft smokescreen stuff no one ever really finds out the truth behind the big boards and whether a team panics and reaches when the clock is ticking

It makes sense. It needs to fit the need. I am ignoring subtlety, but you don’t hire a heavy metal band for a church picnic. I hope. 

Fitting needs has been a fuging problem with all the yearly changes in HC, DC, OC, they need to settle that down.

Center is very interesting.  If Corbett is telling the truth and he can play C, then I wonder "at what level" and "who is your backup?"   After watching the interview with Powers-Johnson, I would love his presence in the locker room. 

However, I actually had a dream about this, and we drafted Ladd McConkey and Mike Sainistil.  We drafted a LB in the third, but I don't know if that was part of my dream or if it was what I told my wife when I was cuddling with her after a traumatic nightmare.

I am kidding--I would actually like that draft.   Not sure if the Sainistil pick was a trade back or not.  Still feeling that we are going to trade back #33.  I see possibly Denver moving up for Nix, offering us a future second rounder and a third this season to do so. 

As for edge--I just think there is a bit of a gap between rounds 1 and late 2.   Best to wait and see if Elliss or someone like that drops.  Please, no RBs or TEs until day 3.

Just because someone thinks they can play doesn't mean they actually can. There's a reason he's never been a starting center and it's because he isn't a center.

Depends on the TE. If Bowers is there at 33, yeah, I know it's not happening, but if he were there, you'd have to make that pick.

This is based on need and the expected availability in the draft:

33.  Trade to get a second rounder next year and a third or fourth this year.  imagine we need a QB like Denver and are sitting there at #12 without a second rounder.  Say we drop to pick 50.

39.  Wide Receiver (a quality WR should be there---Pearsall, Coleman, Franklin, Worthy, Legette, or Worthy--all have a 50% chance or better to be there)  Do not be surprised if the Panthers pick Mike Saindristil. 

50.  Inside Linebacker: Cooper (Tex AM) or Wilson (NCSU).  The Panthers have a history of Dawg LBs and have not been successful without one. 

65. Nickel CB  (I would consider moving up for Sandristril here to about 55.  If not, CB Max Melton (Rutgers)

Of course, if an edge falls of a top C is there, I might go another direction--if Powers-Johnson is at #39, I take him.

101: This is the sweet spot for a backup Center: Nourzad (Penn St), Pran Granger (Georgia); We could find some fallen value at Edge:  Eliss (Utah), and Austin Booker (Kansas).  RB: Ray Davis (KY), Blake Forum (Mich)

Carolina chances of trading back 15%

Carolina trading  into the first to get their guy is 60%

Carolina trading for a very liked WR just went up %5(was 0 this morning but a new deal is getting worked on

Carolina stays is 0% 

Carolina know who they want but news coming in says he may not be available if they wait

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
