I mean at that point just take Will Campbell. I don't think you necessarily need to settle at the edge position in this class, it is very deep. Snagging a ten year starter at the tackle spot who is a blue chip player is just smart. Him or Will Johnson make sense there if this is how it all plays out. 

I would have no regrets picking him at 8.  Dude is an animal and we could move icky to the right and have our line set for the immediate future.   I just think when the dust settles there is no way a kid of that caliber slips to 8.   But I would run to the podium if he did defense be damned

New England is the wild card here.  They have their qb, so protecting him and getting him a wr will be tempting.  If they go with bpa, they might take Abdul or Johnson.

we'll have good options either way at 8.

Never understood how this guy made billions having terrible draft opinions 

I mean, no one is right. You just have to make it interesting, and Kiper is a fast talker with a smooth delivery that knows a lot about the players and team needs.

He was more interesting back in the 80s before everyone had the internet.  He could throw out facts and data that we simply did not have at our fingertips.  Now he is a bit obsolete, and his opinion (not a former coach, gm, or player) is more of a used car salesman pitch than data-driven analysis and prediction.

With Carter,gram and tmac off the board this draft is deep at defense much more so than offense

picking in the top 8 you want to walk away with a elite player no matter the position if jeanty is there I wouldn’t be surprised if he is the pick after our last year pick will be out all of next year we don’t know if he will ever recover or Tyler Warren te from penn state either of these two are in play with the first pick being most of our free agents will be defensive signings

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
