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.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates

      This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
