So what is your draft strategy after today?

[ImfromClayton]

Tyler Warren is a great prospect, but I am always wary of tight ends in the draft. That is the only position with a miss % that is anywhere close to QB. HATE using a high draft pick on that position, in all scenarios.

BPA. I think with the focus on pass rushing that edge rusher need takes a back seat. it looks like we are aiming for interior pressure.

we earned pick 8 and we're gonna keep it!!! that's what we do here!!!

Unless completely mortgage the future of the franchise to trade a fortune to move up. Because that's also a thing that we do here. LOL

There was never a move in FA that was going to change my mind. 

DL please. Graham is still my dream pick, but no move in FA was going to make me not want to address DL.

Agreed...I coming around more to taking Graham even tho we just signed a bunch od DTs. I wasn't as high as first but we can use a deep d line rotation and it's means derrick brown wont be playing 100% of the snaps. 

[Tr3ach]

Same as before.  BPA.  Free agents are to fill needs and draft is to add talent.  Who we signed so far shouldn't affect draft at all.  That's basically a textbook way to have a bad draft.

Tyler Warren will be the pick. 

That's what I'd do and that's what the tea leaves are reading right now.

I just don't see it happening, personally. Teams fill gaps in FA to line up BPA in draft, that was a known thing prior to the signings. I don't see them pivoting post-signings. Though, I know some wanted Warren even before FA started. I just don't see Warren as BPA at 8 for the Panthers and I could be very wrong here. All speculation of course because how would i know for a fact who is where on Panthers board.

I kinda see him as BPA at 8. The problem is that I also see him as BPA at around five and six and seven, too.

That has me worried.

Best player, whatever position, can make a team. This guy is one of those who can do it and we desperately need some of those folks.

I think First Round goes something like

1. Ten - Ward or Carter

2. Cle - Ward or Carter

3. NYG - Hunter

4. NE - Tet

5. Jax - Graham

6. LV - Jeanty

7. NYJ - Sanders or Edge

8. Car- Got to be Warren.  I'd love to trade back because 10. Chi, 11. SF, and 13. MIA all need OTs, but if we drop below NO at 9, they will snag Warren.

[BlueBuck24]

I think the whole point of all these moves is to add in almost every area so we can go BPA or have the flexibility to trade back.

Taking any potential options off the board is the dumbest poo in the world. Sometimes you're on the clock and don't see great value on the board and if the phone is ringing with offers that you see more value in than the talent available then you're crazy to just pick a player because that what we do here in this organization!

You can have your strategy and I can have mine bro. Respect your opinion and I never said you don’t pick up the phone if someone calls. But initiating a trade back indicates lack of preparation. Especially in the first round.

Id like for nothing more than us to take him at 8 and he's a stud. But the miss rate is so high on TE. That worries me. But a true number 1 target would be awesome.

How does it indicate a lack of preparation? You have your allotted time on the clock. Pulling a Gettleman and submitting your pick instantly may signal bravado and confidence but all it really means is that you didn't explore all options available.

[SCMunnerlyn1]

Well we loaded up on DL. So for me we're still missing A LOT of help at linebacker.

 

Not saying it needs to be the first pick but it needs to be addressed early and probably more than once.
