Chances are Benn could be there at 48' date=' thats why I'm predicting we trade our first next year for an early second this year grab Griffen and then take Benn with the 48.[/quote']

That would be great. I just really hope Benn is there at 48.

I don't think it will happen, and I may be in the minority, but if we do trade up to get Clausen, then I will be thrilled. As much as I like Moore, even if he maxes out his potential, I don't think he is anywhere near Clausen's level. I know some here think he will bust, but based on what I saw from him in the several ND games I watched this year, I feel he is going to be a special QB in the NFL.

With that said, if we did trade up, I wouldn't use either our 2nd or 3rd round picks to do it since we still need a WR and DL (they are clearly our first priority). Our #1 next year and maybe this year's 4th would probably be fair.

I don't know why some people want us to move up to take either Kindle or Griffen. The team obviously is VERY high on Brown, and most here have talked about how Johnson is poised to breakout. But if we trade up to get a top DE, then that effectively takes either Brown or Johnson out of the picture as one of our starting DE's of the future...and likely for only a moderate difference in production.

If we trade up, IMO, it will be for a DT, WR, or QB. We can address our need for a rotational DE a little later in the draft or even in the post-draft wave of FA.

Well, 32 teams passed on Matt Moore for all seven rounds, so what's the point?

Don't get me wrong, I like Moore, but I don't see him as anything more than a solid game manager. And if he is who we have, I am fine with him starting...even long-term. With the offense as we have seen it, all we need is a game manager, but I truly believe Clausen would bring a level of explosiveness to the passing game that we haven't ever really seen here in Carolina (except for one pass-happy year in '99). And while I know some will say Fox would never open things up, I would disagree. I think Fox tries to coach to his player's and team's strength's and hide weaknesses, so if he had a QB with Clausen's accuracy and decision-making, he would expand the offense to take advantage of it....but that's just my opinion, and since we most likely won't pick him, we'll probably never really know.

I don't really listen to what he says, but I thought it was slightly funny and everyone here would get a kick out of it.

Pete Prisco has us taking Cam Thomas, DT from UNC with the 48th pick now....Here's the kicker Both Benn and Tate are still on the board when we pick in his 2nd round mock. Other Notables still available Taylor Mays and Carlos Dunlap.

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      By countryboi · Posted

      The thing I hate about strength of schedule is that NFL teams change so much over a year and past success or failure doesn't really dictate future success or failure

      Considering you previously struggled to understand BTT despite it being explained in a video, write-up, and multiple replies, I get why this might be a little too complex for you. Happy to clarify again! Just let me know which part tripped you up this time. 😉

      a look at our 19 udfas

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      And, honestly, there's only so much you can attempt to do in the draft. And every draft pick is a roll of the dice. But that's where grabbing a ton of UDFAs, and targeting the best, makes a big difference. Sure, their individual chances of getting a hit here is less, but that shotgun pattern might just hit something.  Right now, we need bulk, partly to rebuild and partly to dilute the deep level of stank that has developed on this team in the last six years. If we're going to rebuild a culture built around culture, accountability and winning, then these UDFAs we bring in each season have to be the wash water that gets out that leftover dirt.  Canales seems to be a smart, culture-first, build up the good ones kind of guy. I like that and I hope he can keep it going here. But he was working against a locker room that had been taught to lose and taught to distrust or ignore coaches. He's got his work cut out for him, still. He does seem to have it moving in the right direction and that's something I was pretty amazed with by the end of last season.
