If there’s not much difference in moving back a couple spots, finding a good offer might be an issue.

It seems the Cowboys have a boner for Jeanty.  Maybe we can get them to bite with the illusion of him being the target for us.

Johnson seems to be beneficiary of a seemingly weak CB class, certainly top echelon ones.  Granted I haven't dove into the draft as much this season as prior years, but I have yet to see glowing reviews for him.  Stated like this, would he be a top 10 CB in a stacked CB class?  Similar to the QBs this draft, Sanders and Ward would have been second round selections in last years QB class.

And WR class, which is why I backed off on TMac.  I read that he would have been 4th overall WR taken last year---stuck in my head.

I don't think anyone is trading up unless someone falls in love with the 3rd qb and thinks the saints are going to take them.  Assuming that would be milroe having a killer combine. To me I'd rather stay at 8 and let the saints reach for a qb instead of trading back to 18 for the seahawks or 21 to the steelers

Our spot could potentially be trade bait for taking Tyler Warren.  He’s mocked around where we pick or slightly after.  A team may want to leap frog the Saints to get him.

On the flip side, if we trade back 4,5, or 6 spots and he's still on the board, I'm down to draft him.  I'm not against a Rd1 TE, just not in the top 10.

I think Baltimore, KC, Miami, LA Rams, and a few others will want one of the top 2 OTs and they get ripe around the back of the top 10.  We shall see.

It would be ideal if Jaxson Dart could scam some team into thinking he’s worth a top 10 pick.

It is always how far back and what compensation. When you trade back let's say five spots you have to assume that none of those picks matters and you can find equivalent talent later.  Then again if you meet your needs  in free agency you have a lot more flexibility to avoid reaching.

Yes, they did want Brooks and that's why we moved up to stick it to them.  Well, we stuck it to ourselves in typical Panthers fashion.  They are wanting their next generation Zeke. A proven bell cow on a rookie deal so they can pay their other stars.

As far as T-Mac goes, stud WRs are game changers.  That WR class last year was so loaded that he while would have gone later than Harrison Jr., Nabers and perhaps Odunze, the first two were considered can't miss prospects.  That's not a knock on T-Mac as much as how sure-fire talents the top two guys were.

Personally I'm done with the "trade a quarter for 2 dimes and a nickel" Fitterer logic so I say stay put and take a top prospect regardless. No matter how the top 7 picks play out there will be a damn good player available and we should take that player based on the fact we have needs across the board.

I feel the same.  Worst case I’m taking Warren and not feeling bad about it.

He's got to have one heck of a Combine and Pro Day.  As of now, he's seemingly overtaken Ewers for QB3, but not enough to jump all the way to the first round, let alone the top 10.  My gut tells me a team like the Raiders or Saints will jump on him at the top of the second round.  The only team at the back of the first round possibly needing a QB is Pittsburgh, that's if they don't keep Fields or Wilson.

JJ McCarthy pulled it off.  It can be done.

It would take someone shooting up the boards to change my mind but the guys I want us to take early should be gone by 8 so I'm hoping for a trade back. Getting an extra pick in the top 100 picks would also be a bigger win than an offensive pick or CB at 8 IMO.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By countryboi · Posted

      You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.

      Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
