I don’t want to be a downer but when we were like 1 loss away from jumping to the top pick, the draft was looking fun and maybe getting us some picks in a trade down. If we take a safety at 8, ugh, what a punch to the gut that’ll be.

S or TE at 8 is not the way to go--but if we move back, I would take a safety around 20.  I see edge or WR at 8---but I look at the draft--where the talent is and based on our needs--I would do this, even though nobody asked.  In the first round, I would take the WR (we need 2 if nothing changes) and I think Golden will be in the top 10 range then--that is who I would take, knowing what I know now. TMac is in play as well.

  In the second round, I think I would wait with a list of possible edge rushers--Princely, Sawyer, etc. and possibly move up 5-10 spots in the second to get the edge we like  I think we probably like "dawg" Jack Sawyer.

In the third, I would look at Safety.  If we can end day 2 with a WR, edge, and S, I would be happy.

It just seems to me that the key to winning in balance your picks and cap space across you team.  With the exception qb, you don't need to have top 5 player at every position.  

We don't really need to spend a first on WR.  If we do, great and I hope it works out, but we need to pick up someone who has good hands and get downfield.

If they were taking Tyler Warren, they would have already told him.  I don't think there's any chance of it happening.

I know people would like to see it, but I haven't seen the twinkle in Dan or Dave's eyes when they've been asked about him.  Dan has really been showing a giddy energy when talking about the secondary and big guys up front.  

Which points to these two and Will Johnson.  With Jalon Walker hopefully a target as well.  Not a lot of Barron buzz.  

I'm also not buying any team thinks the safeties are worth a top-15 pick and we just seem to have no buzz around Tet or Warren.

Funchess ran a 4.5 at his pro day after running a 4.7 at the combine.

A 4.48 is probably a 4.6x at the combine.  If he could actually run a combine 4.48, there is no way he would have skipped it.

On the radio they are saying scouts clocked him between 4.55 and 4.59

That’s what I thought it was high 4.5 speed. Doesn’t matter though, pad speed matters and I don’t think he has it. I still expect at least the first two picks to be defensive players. Walker if he’s there, if not then Williams makes sense.

I mean speed isn't everything, but it's something the Panthers need at WR

my wish right now is 

1- carter

2- hunter

(not happening)

3- graham 

(probably not happening)

4- Tet 

5- trade down

6- Walker IF we view him as an edge

7- Jihad Campbell 

Then 8-11 is some mix of Stewart, Mykel, Mike Green and Donovan E

 

I'm kinda with you though OP i'm starting to feel like we are content with either of those guys at 8 and Dan doesn't really care how the board falls before

We definitely still leak stuff like crazy.  I thought we had gotten better but it was clear we hadn't the day before free agency when all the media was sayint all the moves we were going to make the next morning.

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?

      I can't see a world where the money goes down, but maybe your lottery odds are now your contract numbers you can offer.  Thunder? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 20 million.  Hornets? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 80 million.  Some form of a system where the money is still there, but so is the freedom of choice (on top of bad teams getting *some* competitive advantage to signing them).
