BPA: Too Much Value to Trade Down

Your Pick at 8

  1. 1. If a trade down offer is not attractive enough to accept, which player that REALISTICALLY should be available at 8 is such a compelling value (clear BPA) that you would select?

Yea I’m not in love with any of the guys to be honest.  Not a great class to be picking 8th overall unfortunately.  It would be better to have several 2nd round picks.

I think it’s this pick 5-15ish stretch that the tough spot. There’s just no high end first rounders you typically see at our spot.  There’s a few blue chippers and then the rest are mid to late firsts at best. 

It’s also why I don’t expect a trade down, but one can dream. But it won’t be much capital gained in this draft.

Is he worth it? Maybe. I know the team is seriously interested in him or they wouldn't have met with him 3 times. He's the best safety in this draft and 1 of only 2 safties that are day 1 worthy picks. 

The way I see it is that the team has the option of taking a player at a position that is a huge value to draft. That's edge, tackle, qb or wide receiver. Ask yourself who in this class of day 1 picks could benefit the Panthers the most to draft.

Now look at the visits and see what positions they have put the most time in day 1 players. Two things stand out to me. They are focusing on defense and it's OLB and a safety. I think it comes down to 3 players and they are Walker, Stewart and Emmanwori. Everyone else is smoke and mirrors. 

Good logic.  I see it.

Just take less value for a trade back this year. 'But the trade value chart'... just doesn't matter when an extra 2nd should be enough to move back this year given the situation. I would take an extra 2nd over any player that could potentially be there at 8 and it's not close. Let the media bitch about it, just doesn’t matter if we walk away with an edge, FS and WR in  the first 2 rounds given how close all of that talent is when looking at it big picture.

Fug the value chart and just give me a decent additional 2nd for the win. All it takes is someone falling in love with Sanders or the RB or whatever. If there was more talent in this draft then that would be a terrible idea but turning down a trade because the value was less than other years when the tellent is obviously less at the top of this draft would just show how poorly the people in charge understand this class and it's weaknesses. It would be like not finding a slot WR or RB later, just dumb IMO.

Walker- Has the intangibles, demeanor, and potential. Only negs are no big time #’s and size, but it’s not like he’s a hobbit. 
 

Edges out Warren for me. Position value not there.

I think he had more sacks per rush rate then anyone in the draft, he just didnt rush the passer as much as the other top guys

I voted Graham on this one ( Walker on another similar one ). I think either are great picks. Walker is intriguing. I think he can be a homerun pick, but the question is how will he be used? I think with the 8th pick you want to make sure he leans more towards a master of 1 skill vs a jack of all trades. This is on the coaching staff IMO, they need to make sure he is pressuring the QB more then anything else.

Graham was referred to as "A gift from God" by Harbaugh, that tells me all I need to know lol, kid is just a football player. A dawg if you will.

They already have a tight end they invested in and need to develop. If Warren isn't gonna Come in and be a 1k yard number 1 option I don't see the value either.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Icege · Posted

      You don't have to go through every game and point it out as we are discussing his GWDs. You specifically called out that he had GWDs because he is the reason the team is always playing from behind. We looked at those eight games and only Miami stands out as one where he put the team in a hole to begin with. You've added the Atlanta game where the team didn't score a TD but only kicked field goals. You're not trying to change what we're discussing to fit your feelings re: Bryce. That's not necessary. We are discussing GWDs per the thread topic. We have also shown that your opinion that the team has had to always come back due to Bryce was proven to be false as was the claim that "minus one game" was his fault. Appealing to emotion afterwards by trying to broadly paint the rest of the losses in the same way just doesn't work. Where in the Hell did you get that the entire point is the suggestion that BY is more clutch than Jake and/or Cam? It's giving something to be positive about in that Bryce has shown the ability to comeback and win games despite the calamity that might have taken place to put them behind to begin with. How is that blasphemy?

      Ikem Ekwonu is slated to GET PAID

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      His run blocking is making up for his negatives in pass blocking right now.  He’ll still have pass blocking hiccups, but if they think he’s a critical part to the locker room and team construction, you probably re-sign him and try not to overpay.

      Callahan is gone McDaniel and Taylor are happening Stefanski is a growing possibility. I mean, they need to get an offense going eventually.  Could see Morris as a surprise one.
