Nah, I'd rather stay where we are in the 2nd and use those 5th rounders to move one of the 4th's up into the 3rd instead.

With all our holes, we can find a useful player in the 3rd, I'd rather fill an extra missing spot than get a better player in the 2nd.  In particular, I think that would be a great way to find our Center of the future, give up the 4th and like 2 5ths to move into the middle of the 3rd round to target a Center if there is one we like.

Have not read entire thread--could this mean they are going to deal Horn or not sign him to an extended deal?  He has been a bit injury prone, and maybe they do not want to pay full price for an elite CB who can only be on the field half the time. 

Imagine they trade Horn for a second rounder, draft Johnson and sign Jackson--that saves you about $20m or so (guessing) and you have the CB spot locked up.  The $20m could go to an elite WR, and you could then grab an edge and a DT-type in round 2. 

I don't know, but I imagine they are having talks about Horn's contract demands and his injury history.

Player swap Horn for Garrett Wilson

This would be peak Panthers

Draft someone in the Top 10, stick with them for 3 years while they can't stay on the field due to injuries, despite other teams likely willing to give up a decent pick for him.

Player finally has a full healthy season and makes the Pro Bowl.

Panthers don't want to extend him and then trade him for a 2nd round pick for us to draft another bust.

defenses are built up front.   

If we do this......our only 2 defensive players in the first round of last 5 drafts would be 2 corners. 

last night we just watched Philly win the Super Bowl rushing 4 and wrecking KC. 

I get what you're saying, but it's also kind of a disingenuous way of phrasing it when the best player on our whole team is a defensive lineman.

Also, sometimes the best pass rush is by having great coverage downfield so the QB has to hold the ball longer, even the best offensive lines can only block players for so long before one gets loose to the QB

I think the inverse is more true. The best CBs can only cover so long until someone gets open when you’re getting little pressure.

I've been thinking this too. #8 to #57 is a looooooong time to sit and wait with three 4ths and two 5ths sitting in your back pocket. If the right guy is there I think you make a move. I know we need bodies but realistically once you get past the 2nd round your odds of finding starters drops dramatically. You're basically looking for quality depth past the 2nd round and definitely past the 3rd round unless you find a needle in the haystack. I don't think we make five picks in the 4th and 5th rounds combined.

What if they build the inside through free agency like they did the offense last offseason?

If they are young guys looking for their 2nd contract? Maybe. The first pick has to be bpa for the defense.  A corner ranked anywhere from 15 to 25 among the class does not scream must take over other positions.  JMO.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
