everyone keeps saying trade back but it takes two to tango and from what I gather the only guy that would warrant someone potentially to move up would be tet.  So we are a bit limited there

It's an easy draft for a team with a need to take a swing. It's certainly not give  but it also only ties one team to make it happen.

I don't want BC really. Dude has had tons of chances and I hope we aren't the team to overpay. We need depth and that's why I hope it's a trade back. RT and C are not strong spots long term and could actually be weaknesses faster.

I think I would keep Ickey at LT and see if anyone trades up if a LT is there at our pick. People here didn't want to trade back very far but so far it but if it gave is more ammo in the 2nd and early 3rd I would be thrilled. So far but still.

I do want to keep him because he is cheap and he is a valuable backup at multiple spots.

Taking away a valuable backup is just another big hole to fill.

Exactly.  If other teams see him the same way - valuable backup - we should be able to keep him.  If another team sees him as a starter, then we should let him go.

I don't  like his availability. It's  the same as Corbett for me. I would take a swing g elsewhere personally even if he does have the versatility

I do not know circumstances, but I am pretty sure that BC did not cut it at LG and he sucked at center when Cade took over and played well.  I have always thought his role would be as a swing OT.  His arms are short, but he really has not spent time at T, his college position.  So I am not sure how valuable he is if he has not played well at G or C.

I think he will draw some but Panther fans MASSIVELY overrate him. He is a valuable backup and that's really it.

I think he was an older rookie, which means he is pushing 30 right now.  Probably a valuable backup, but if you need for a long stretch, bryce is in trouble.

@MHS831 great post much appreciated.  Has there been any news on Brooks lately?  Wondering if there is any chance we could see him next season 

No, and I don't talk to this person frequently.  I have the same curiosity--let me see what s/he knows--but it could be a while.  I feel this person does not like people asking for insider info--but that could be me.  S/he has never said a word about it.

    • Things like this happen everyday. We live in a social media driven society where loyalty is a foreign concept.
    • If you draft a guy who is healthy and has no concerns about that whatsoever and he goes out and tears his ACL in his first few games in the regular season on a physical play that's a freak accident. But when you trade up to draft an RB who is already rehabbing from a recent ACL tear and he spends the next several months continuing his rehab only to tear the same ACL again after less than a handful of regular season carries in a non contact circumstance that is no freak accident. That is a textbook example of why you do not do what we did. Particularly for what is now a plug and play position. And when you have the highest paid OL in the league over the next two years. None of that makes any logical sense. Legitimately it is and was some Scott Fitterer type foolishness. Now as for XL. The guy has not been committed to his craft. I think anyone with eyes on the situation can and would recognize that. However the warning signs were there. One season of legit production raw prospect that we knew would take time to develop etc. But Morgan and Bryce Young's own father were very high on him. I think in some capacity the reality of our limitation at QB is entering into the equation. Even TMac got a lot of flak over the course of his rookie season for not being able to haul in all of Bryce's passes. At the end of the day our fourth year QB also needs to do his part to maximize the talent we have available. As far as this year. Again. WR round 1 boils down to where are we going to get the touches for the rookie? That would require eating into not only our 8th overall picks touches but also our #2 WR whom oh yeah by the way was UNDRAFTED. I am happy to discuss WR prospects here. I was thrilled we invested what we did last year in TMac because it needed to be done and it made sense from all angles. But nowhere is it written in stone that you cannot draft a good or great WR outside of the first round. Except in the Panthers building apparently. That is not a good reflection on our scouts and front office let me tell ya. Because there's no way on this earth we are going to get back to relevancy and legitimate contender status if we can't pick some gems in the later rounds. Simple and plain.
