Who in this draft is worth trading up into the #8 slot at the expense of a #2 AND a #3 pick? As Brooklyn 3.0 brought out in his post:

"There's no one amazing we'd want at 8, so we trade down. But that means there's no one "amazing" for someone to trade into our spot for."

Unless Sanders starts to slide and we get a call on draft night, I'm expecting to draft at #8.

Oh I am well aware. It's going to have to be an outlier team that really wants a player. But, because of the wide variance in the evaluations of some of the higher value positions, I do think it is possible to see some offers. Remember, we aren't the only dumb NFL team.

a safety over a pass rusher does feel panthery

It surprised my as well when I saw how many times they met with him. At first I was thinking he was a trade down option but now I'm not so sure.

They are targeting a pass rusher but it must be in the 2nd round on day 2. I think day 1 it's Walker or Emmanwori at 8 as the 2 options. I haven't seen them show as much interest in any offensive players on day 1.

Which is odd because Starks has the better film IMO.  We just love some gamecocks.

They are different types of safety apparently. Starks is more of a strong safety where Nick is a free safety according to DJ. I have not researched either to know enough either way.

Drafting a position we've never drafted in the 1st round in franchise history feels "panthery"?

Safety over DL with a top ten pick and a huge need for defensive linemen lines up with how David Tepper's Panthers have tried to build rosters.

Starks is a FS all day.  Coverage is his specialty from single high to nickel man.  Nick is high potential due to physical traits but give me the film guy all day.

I think that would be a massive overdraft. Like the player but to be a top 10 safety you really need to be a stud.

If Emmanwori  turns out to be a Troy Palumalu, Ed Reed, or Earl Thomas it would definitely be worth it. I know most teams don't consider Safety to be a premium position. But, when I look back at the the great defenses in the NFL over my lifetime, all of the them tend to have a difference maker at the Safety position, either as an Enforcer or a Ballhawk.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
