The biggest take away, and Im surprised that no one mentioned it is where they asked Tilis if the reason for the structure of the deals being mostly 2 year deals is because of BY potential contract and he said,

 

"... we didnt think too much about Bryce and where he is, thats still TBD."

I appreciate his candor. Lots to prove this season for a number of guys including our QB. You see what you've got this season and go from there.

- Plan at 8 is still BPA

Don't overthink it. We can't draft to save our lives in the second round anyways. BPA at 8 and keep it moving.

Panthers' defensive overhaul in free agency means draft flexibility

https://www.panthers.com/news/panthers-defensive-overhaul-in-free-agency-means-draft-flexibility

I do not see it this way--we upgraded, but we will need to draft an Edge, WR, DT, CB, S, OT, and maybe a TE.  That is six or seven needs and I don't really see that as flexibility.

I think Dan and Brandt realized they can't fix everything in one offseason and instead they've made several prudent moves to add competent starters and depth pieces. It's the smart long-term play.

That is most likely going to be Ashton Jeanty.  

I think it depends on how they quantify “BPA”.  From a talent, playmaker, insert superlative standpoint I think you may be correct.  If BPA grade takes into account need, positional value and other factors he will not likely be “BPA”.  
 

Not disagreeing with you but when they drop BPA I can’t take it literally.   I thought about creating a topic on different factors that might go into BPA for these guys as I think it might spurn interesting conversation but never got around to it.

What if BPA is a long snapper

I think you can leave out special teams based on limited playing time. BPA for a position of need is simply not BPA; it is drafting for need.  The two most likely available players at 8 who are at the top of their position are Jeanty and the LSU tackle.

He said something like the best bplayer that can help us or something to that affect.

We don't have any glaring holes in order to field a team and have flexibility. You can argue what we should do and there are valued arrangements for several positions. Which i believe is evidence they put themselves in a good situation for the draft.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Mel Kiper said he would retire if Jimmy Clausen wasn't a successful NFL starter too. Just because the experts make a claim doesnt mean it's true either.  Bryce may be a serviceable QB for someone. Serviceable QBs don't bring you a perennial winner or lead you to the playoffs over and over. Serviceable QBs also dont get 50m plus per year deals which is what a Bryce extension would look like.  The stats show he hasn't been even a serviceable QB in the 3 years he's been here. The eye test shows he hasn't put together 2 franchise QB salary games back to back in 3 years.  Complain all you want about people being negative, but people pointing out that Bryce is held to a different standard than anyone else on the team isn't complaining. It's stating the obvious.

      We have big bodied WRs and 3 TEs who all have potential and each bring something different to the table. I never saw the need to go out there and try and find a new starting TE.  While it's nice to have a guy like McBride, Bowers, etc, I think a team's better use of the cap is by having TEs on rookie contracts or cheap vets, not having to pay elite TE money.
