Mykel Williams... Edge at number 8?

I wouldn’t be mad but honestly we should not feel the need to lock ourselves into edge with pick number 8, it should be the best player available regardless of position. We will have a top ranked player available at 8 which could be a CB, safety, DT, WR, etc

My philosophy has always been that you should only draft QB, LT or edge rusher inside the top 10. The reason being is that you are most likely drafting that high because you lack one or more of those positions. 

Now I know availability of those positions in any particular draft can be problematic especially they talent available. In our case this season I would rate edge rusher is number 1 on our list. The other two will vary depending on who you ask. I think they are OK for next year.

I feel like he is even more raw and unpolished than Carter. He's an athletic freak for sure but we need a slam dunk pick and we shouldn't talk ourselves out of a good football player because of positional value. Luke was a top 10 pick and a MLB, was he overrated because of where he was picked at? Maybe, but I would draft him #1 overall in his draft looking back.

    • Torn achilles.  The reason he was out more than half of last season.
    • When the panthers are bad, we sell a shockingly low number of jerseys, and options become limited. In the good years, we had a lot of different options. I think T-Mac is going to have to play well on the field for his jersey to get produced in the FUSE template. 
    • it's not the only way to be a threat, it's certainly important for certain roles in an offense and for certain type players and offenses.  as is the ability to get open quickly and generate easy throws.   as far as Renfrow goes, I have consistently said he is sort of his own thing and not really in comp w/ others here.  It's a niche role/job.  Anyone talking about something else from him isn't me.  Just depends if we want to do what he does and if he can still do it.  as far as AT goes, yeah, he does lower our ceiling given the % of our offense that goes through him and his limitations at this stage in his career.    He should be a roleplayer, much like Renfrow should be if we want to insert what he does into the O....not an O being run through him.    Renfrow isn't going to lower the ceiling if used correctly.  Niche assignments to move chains.   It's like a short yardage RB that comes in to pick a random play.  Renfrow is best at that 3rd and 4 type scenario IMO. AT lowers the ceiling because we build the pass game off an old WR that shouldn't be the focal point of a pass attack.  Not to mention, Bryce Young is practically tailor made to get the ball in the hands of YAC players.   So you need those type on the field.
