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.

Oh yeah, if it's a guy like that, absolutely. Or even a Kyle Hamilton(taken #14, BTW). You can sign me up for that all day.

But if he isn't that.....oh wee mayne it's gonna be a rough time in the Panthers FO after making him a top 10 pick.

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.

Same.  Trade down and take him late in the first, but again I'd take Starks 10/10 times vs Nick.

The author has no inside information and is going off rumors like the Panthers might take a wr just not at 8 article.  It basically says nothing so you are covered if it doesn't come true. Trading back would be beneficially to a club with so many holes. Someone may want the OT's or RB or a QB so it is not beyond the realm of possibility. I don't like to trade back in mocks for 2026 picks but in reality that is not a bad proposition because this team is not ready to challenge in '25.  

Yup, it's Joe Person, he had no inside information.

Yeah, I am not sure I am buying that. Or that he is a definitively elite player. His ceiling is very high, without a doubt.

He's been mocked to either the Ravens or Eagles in the past week. Prior to that it was the Dolphins. He's big and fast with great ball skills so who knows? I feel the same way about him as I do Walker, uncertain.

Don't think the Panthers wanting to trade is a story worthy of a Pulitzer.  With Sanders likely falling and Saints increased need at QB obviously sending a message to anyone wanting to get ahead of New Orleans like maybe Pitt.  

Plus looking at a lot of the visits the Panthers appear to be looking at a lotta players that would appear to be more late teens into early second and some guys you wouldn't think would be around at 57.  Granted some of those guys maybe rated incorrectly for public consumption.  But seems like Panthers have been looking at moving around on the board for a while.

that's it you have to really know how to properly evaluate your team .if not you trade up thinking your just one player away when in reality you are 2/3rds of a team away  & in the process trade away the #1 overall pick the following year because your team had the worse record in football & was nowhere close to just one player away 

when you trade up or down it all BEGINS with evaluation not player evaluation but the team as a whole evaluation ...just saying

I think the very high tier guys are pretty scarce in this draft.  Ideally I would love a slight move down and have someone drop.  Definitely think they are targeting Mykel but if that is wrong I would love a move down and get Tyler Warren.  He makes the offense so much better immediately

These EDGE guys all and I do mean ALL, have holes in their games.  The drop off from Carter to the next cluster of EDGE guys is fairly steep.  If we have three EDGE guys ranked close together and move down several spots, we are nearly guaranteed to get at least one of them.

I keep seeing this as an excuse as to not to draft edge players. 

Every draft; all players have holes in their game.  That's how it is coming from college to the pros. 

 

As for being open for trading. Dan always is open for trading, for the right price. This is nothing new.

I never said to not draft an EDGE player, but we shouldn't pigeon-hole ourselves to that one position either just because we need one.  However, that's what we have done in round 1 since Hurney left and likely will do again.  BPA is a farce with this team--fugg'n lip service.

That's your opinion.

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. 

The tape on Emanwori isn't so great, he just blew up the combine.  Starks has really good tape but underperformed a bit at the combine.

      And that's totally fair to say, but I think it also shows you guys are conflating what I'm saying with thinking I'm saying something like, "T-Mac will 100% have a better NFL career than Chark had" which is a completely different statement and one I'd agree, you can't really say about any NFL player before they've ever taken a snap. Because what I'm saying, is that T-Mac's actual ability and skills right now, are at a higher level than Chark's ever were, it's a completely different statement that is independent of what his NFL output will be. But even with those other prospects, I'm sure some of them before their NFL career started, still had more ability and physical talent than Chark had, because again, this is so much less about T-Mac and so much more about Chark.  A bad coach, system, QB, injuries, etc, that derail a WR's career no matter how good they may have been and is much more of the reason they were a bust than their own abilities.   Chark was a tall WR with little WR speed, he was a deep ball threat and wasn't even particularly great at it, he was not that good of an actual WR. If the Jags had another above average WR in 2019, then Chark doesn't get his 1k season that I think people are getting too hung up on in thinking he was some great player in this league.

      I've just seen enough highly touted prospects who pretty much everyone was high on end up busting to assume anything.

      Maybe, but a player can also bust for a lot of reasons.  And I'm not about to go look up the stats of all the 1st round WR busts, but I'd be surprised if they had the sustained output and success in college that T-Mac had.  Those early WR busts are usually guys who had one breakout season and then were highly drafted because of physical potential, not already built out ability. I'm not even saying T-Mac is 100% going to have a better career than Chark (although I obviously think he will). I'm just saying that right now, his skill level and ability is better than Chark's ever was, and I don't understand how anyone is arguing against that, not because of T-Mac, but because of who Chark himself was.   If you want to take the argument that you can't say ANY player who hasn't played a down yet can't be considered better than someone who has, then so be it (even though I'd say that's a dumb stance anyways). At his peak ability, Chark was more like a #3 WR than anything else, he was the definition of a league average WR.  If you don't think a Top 10 selected WR with his tape is better than that just because they haven't played in the NFL yet, then you're just stuck on the "he hasn't played a down yet" idea and can't evaluate them as players and abilities.
