He makes very, very, VERY good points about Walker. We seem to have not been able to utilize other "tweener" type players under Evero. Do we want to invest in another at 8?

He didn’t seem to have an issue using Luvu . That’s the same role Walker would play. ILB/edge.

What this chart tells me with absolute certainty:

In the first round, we like Georgia's #11 or #13 at 8.  However, TMac as the lone offensive player could suggest that he is the pick if on the board--if they liked him. the reason I think this?  There are edges predicted to go in all other rounds that were met with.  The others seem to be preparing for a trade back.  I think Morgan wants to do that.  We are definitely prioritizing edge over anything else in rounds 1 and 2.

The overwhelming number of Edges/OLBs in rounds 1-3 might suggest that they are looking for two edges--or they are going to go after a WR and or S in round 1.  For example, if Walker is gone, they might want to take TMac.  With only 1 WR and 1 S mentioned in round 1, it makes you wonder if they are not being targeted.  At WR, Noel is listed in round 2 and Sanker is the only other S listed, in round 4.  Jon Snow's prediction that Emmanwori could be the pick in round 1 is supported by this theory.

In a draft so overloaded at DT, the Panthers brought in Nolen (probably wondering if he drops to the second and if the rumors about his character are valid), TJ Sanders from the USC in the second, and Deione Walker, a NT from KY (I heard they liked him at SR Bowl) in the third.  In other words, not a lot of DT attention in the first 3 rounds.

However, of the 11 players listed as prospects in rounds 2 and 3, five (5) are edge players.  We are taking an edge in rounds 1 or 2.  I think, since only 1 WR and no safeties are listed after round 1, they will be flexible in round 1.  They cannot be flexible with S based on this list, unless Sanker in round 4 is more than a fallback.

Here is the dilemma--if they take an edge in round 1--based on this list only--does that force them to take Noel in round 2 and Sanker in round 4?  Big dropoffs if you consider that Princely and Swinson and Kinnard will be there in rounds 2 and 3?

The lack of focus on WR is alarming.

Of course, teams could use visits to analyze character because red flags are flying.  Nolen, TMac, have questions.

DL seems to pick up steam at pick 140.  In fact, South Carolina has 4 DL on this list (most are local visits). 

 

What do I get from this?

Taking a S in round 1 makes sense and the rest of the draft seems to fall together.  Trade back is ideal.

In round 1, we seem to be focused on Jalon Walker (LB) and Emmanwori (S).  TMac is a real possibility, allowing them to focus on D from here out.

Round 2 will be an edge-maybe even if we take Walker.   However, if we do take Walker, Round 2 could be Noel (WR).

Round 3  I think, based on this, the Panthers will take Knight (LB USC).  I think Morgan will love him.  Walker (NT, KY) is also on the table.

Round 4  If they missed Emmanwori in the first round, Sanker is taken here.  I would also expect them to draft Trapoli (OT) a RT with excellent pass blocking skills. 

Round 5  The Panthers seem to like the depth of this draft at DL enough to focus on DT depth with picks 140 and 146.  DTs Cam Jackson and Pegues are listed.  Both would be steals here.

      Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates

      This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
