This is the crux of the Panthers situation. Consistently making luxury picks that don't pan out.

TBH, it's been a rough draft so far. XL is looking suspect for a guy that was a trade up. Brooks may never play meaningful snaps for us again. Wallace could be a guy? Hard to say so far. Sanders may be a stud. The guys after that are basically nothing.

If XL or Wallace don't pan out, this was a classic Panthers dumpster fire draft.

For a 2-15 team, the first 3 picks should be day 1 starters or at least the 1st 2 with rotational 3rd. 

Certain positions are routinely found in particular rounds more frequently. It's like we draft without this in mind and gamble on raw prospects instead of filling positions of need with likely starters. I just don't get it.

2nd rounder isn't a high pick. That's generally when the best C's start coming off the board.

2nd rounder is high for a RB. That's just moronic.

He takes the weirdest positions on roster discussions.

I'd much rather have a young franchise Center for that second round pick we used than an RB who has torn his ACL in the same knee twice already at 21 years old.

Guys who've never been hurt still get hurt. You can't predict it. 

You have a positional value "preference" doesn't make another's decision wrong. Knowing we had Corbett under contract, with BC they bet on addi g weapons to an offense that SORELY lacked them.

BPA met NEED, the injury was considered a non-issue from most evaluators.

Obviously no one has a crystal ball to predict injuries but good RB's can and have been had in the 4th and 5th rounds.

At one point earlier in the season with McCaffrey out the 49ers had an at the time league leading running back who was undrafted.

You simply don't have to sink a pick in the first 2 rounds to get a productive back anymore. Chuba Hubbard was a 4th round pick. He's pretty good no?

      Do you see the vision?  As of now our Carolina Panthers don’t have an identity. We are not an offensive powerhouse and on defense we only started getting it together towards the end of the year last year. In my opinion we are much closer to having an incredible defense that scares the daylights out of people. I say the answer is simple and we fully commit to that possible identity.    Emmanuel McNeil Warren (E man)  This guy is like a shark lurking around ready to attack anyone. Fearless. He is easily a top 20 talent in my eyes, and the only reason he isn’t more talked about is because he’s from Toledo. Do your due diligence as panther fans and watch his tape I beg you. Once you’re done watching let me ask you this, if you dropped E - Man into the strong safety spot on the Buckeyes, he isn’t being talked about as one of the best prospects we’ve seen in some time given the skill set you see with this guy? I think so. Put his name on the card and turn it in at 19.    Jacob Rodriguez  High effort, High energy, High IQ guy that flies around the field. We all know Jacob at this point. My only concern is he’s a little bit too good and I’m not sure he makes it to us at our pick in the second. With the additions of Jacob and E- Man I think our defense goes to top 5 in the league. We would have a duo of linebackers that rival anything we’ve had in our past. I’m not a GM so I don’t know what the possible answer could be, but if there’s a way we can comfortably trade up in the second to secure this guy I think we find a way to do it.    Spend the rest of our picks fixing the O - line.    Thoughts Panthers fans? Who’s the ideal duo for yall?

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      OL is arguably much more important to the success of a young QB. (Or any QB)
