With Carolina's First pick they select...

it's really hard to predict what the new coaching staff and possibly general manager (though I think hurney hangs around) will value.

if for example they were to get a guy like brian schottenheimer (and hopefully his dad to DC) i could see them going AJ Green.

however, if they get someone like Leslie Frazier from Minnesota, it'd almost certainly be the BPA b/w DT and CB. Marshall is gone after this year, and they haven't had consistent pressure up the middle since Jenkins decided he didn't give a f**k.

I really like that lost post.

I personally think we take Patrick Peterson or AJ Green (or another SOLID WR talent). Obviously, as previously stated, Marshall is gone (he's a nickle corner, at best). Munnerlyn is a nickle. Period. And he's better at nickle than Marshall, which is WHY he is gone. And clearly, we need talent at the WR position. Also, I believe I called the Clausen/Gettis chemistry last week after Clausen was named the starter, and it seemed today that my assessment may be accurate. Regardless, Gettis's ceiling is #2, and that's with high hopes. Slot receiver is probably more accurate, and we need somebody who can replace Smith eventually and complement him at the time right now.

So, now the flip side. If we DON'T do what I stated in the above paragraph, we take DL. Whether or not its DE or DT, we need help at both, so either is fine by me. Personally, I think we need solid, consistent DT play more than anything (especially at the 3 technique, or for those of you who don't understand, the DT that plays outside shoulder of the guard). Hardy is a solid pass rusher, as is Brown. I think Hardy could be easier to groom as a run stopper as well than Brown, given Hardy is a little bigger than Brown. Just depends really on who we have here.

For some reason, I wouldn't mind having Charlie Weis here. Preferably as the OC, but I think he'd be a capable HC as well. Marty I think would have success with what we have as well, IMO. Anything is better than what we have RIGHT NOW though.

    • Seriously? A CB who missed all that time on his rookie deal and was also a top 10 pick when the guys picked right before and after have been studs. A RB our GMs tried to replace with FAs and 2nd rounders and two backup level players is one of the best drafts we’ve ever had? I’d argue that the 2011/2012 drafts were better even with just Cam and Luke/Norman. Here’s the drafts I think were better: 2017, maybe 2018, 2015, 2013, 2011, 2012, 2008, 2007, 2001, 2002 (just Pepp) I’m hoping 2025 is way better as well. Honestly, we’ve kind of sucked at drafting overall and that’s the only reason you can even remotely call Horn, Hubbard, Tremble and BC a good draft let alone one of our best ever. Good teams that draft well would laugh at that as a great draft. If you want to look at say the 2023 Lions draft, you’d get 4 stud/above average/average starters not just 3 replaceable starters/backups and a top 10 pick that missed half his games. That’s a draft that helps turn a team into a playoff team. Our record since our 2021 draft is 19-49. A best ever draft doesn’t go 19-49.
    • I remember when football was great.    Wasn't this century.  
    • Bingo. You can't pay that type of player elite franchise QB money. That average starter type player can excel when he's surrounded by top shelf talent in a great offensive system but pay him elite QB money and you're going to really struggle to surround him with the type of talent you need to carry him. You pay those elite franchise QBs because they can carry your roster. You can't pay guys who have to be carried. Bryce showed glimpses down the stretch last year. I really hope he keeps building on that. But before we back up the Brinks truck he needs to show that he's the type of QB who can lift up and carry the offense because when you pay those guys that's what they're gonna have to do.
