God forbid this is the way the Draft shakes out

The one with the least value. Gotcha. 

No one knows 100 percent if any of these guys will amount to squat in the NFL.  Warren could be the next Gronk or La Porta. He could also be a so so Hayden Hurst. I'm all for BPA at our pick. We need D but we shouldn't pass on him due to a need somewhere else, reaching is cheating yourself.

I saw a grok ai mock draft today where Abdul carter fell to Atlanta at 15.  That made me not fear ai very much tbh.

If by some miracle, he was there at 8 and we pass, that would make me revolt.

Draft winds just changed with the saints having QB carr problems.... fyi they pick 9

 

That must be the reason for Dan/Brandt looking into mid-late first rounders. Be nice to land a near BY package to prevent the sinats form adding a QB this draft!!!

Add in cousins already getting 10 million and due 27.5 guaranteed, LOLOLOLOLOLOLs. Better pray penix is a god.....

In this scenario, a team wanting a QB becomes an opportunity to trade down if the opportunity is there and compensation good enough 

My justification is simple, I have seen several tier rankings of the DEs. After the top 2 or 3, well. The depth is good

If no trade back then and staying at 8 

1. Take BPA regardless of position and in this case OT trumps WRs…learn from Philly  build that line  and  Moton  isnt getting any younger 

2 or defense is the focus, the line would  be great but, best cornerback available, and CB trumps most other Def positions

let’s face it, Horn does have his history

….and i dont know about you all, but im sick of seeing Evans running through the secondary like Secretariat in the Belmont Stakes 

If it came right down to brass tacks and this was the scenario, I would prefer to go with the LT. Not only because I tend to agree that if you can build dominating lines, it allows the team to operate. I also think that it is a very Panthers thing to have a LT that has a weakness in pass blocking, but we just hope with all our being that he gets better. We could play him at a strength instead of tolerating a weakness.

This is the least likely thing to happen in the Panthers draft, and I would instead expect to say "Hello, Mykel!"

Why would we take him when we could take Tyler Warren? Warren is both a receiver and a tight end? Pair him with Sanders and you have a pretty damn good tight end room that provides you a ton of flexibility. 

I really like Warren but saying he’s a WR is quite a stretch. He’s a really good blocking TE and is willing to do literally everything on the field. Finds soft spots in the zone very well but isn’t the receiving threat Bowers or Pitts was coming out. I’d be happy with him at 8 but don’t think we should be under any impression he solves our lack of talent at the WR position.

Doesn't matter who he is. TE doesn't have top 10 value. Period.

How? If you had a crystal ball and knew you would get Bowers production his rookie year he would have gone after Nabers

100 receptions is nothing to sneeze at but I think the biggest thing is he makes the offense more unpredictable. He is a mismatch going out and you can't tip your hat on run or pass plays in 2 tight end or 1 tight end sets.  That being said, I don't think they will draft him unless the board shakes a certain way. It does really feel they are locked in on the Georgia boys.

Yeah that’s very true. I just don’t think he comes in here and replaces a #1 WR in Canales scheme. Warren would be a great add. We’d still need another WR imo

You guys whom are so desperate for another offensive player will make any argument to justify your stance. 

On offensive players whose value equals 10 too is QBs and elite left tackles. 

Otherwise, it's defense.

 I feel you! Value is only determined by certain measures and for our team, a tight end holds value. Now if they really feel one of the other tight ends can do something,  ok but  6 of the last remaining teams in the playoffs, would've  struggled heavily without solid tight end play.  I'd rather have Jeremy Shockey  then Brian burns... in perspective.  I'd be happy with Warren bc you know you getting a starter. His game translates with minimal flaws. Remove Kelce from Kc and you probably  don't have a few of those rings either.

The TE has always ranked 5th in targets Canales system.  Makes no sense to get a TE so high
