A good chance at chaos?

[Mr. Scot]

Comment from Dane Brugler regarding his final mock draft:

"Honestly, I hope it doesn’t play out this way — I want chaos, and there’s a good chance we get it this year."

A good chance for "chaos"

Brugler doesn't really elaborate any further, and for the record his final mock is pretty standard (Panthers take Jalon Walker).

Still, the comment about there being a "good chance" at things going a little squirrely caught my attention. 

That would certainly be...interesting

this draft definitely has a weird vibe to it. the fact that there hasn't been any trades this past week or so has me feeling like we're going to be seeing a lot of stuff going on.

another thing is that player valuations are all over the place. aside from maybe a couple, there's not a lot of continuity and consensus regarding player rankings. i think we'll see a lot of surprise picks.

A lot of final mocks now have Walker gone before we pick.

We like suspense and chaos as long as it doesn't hurt us. The unpredictability is intriguing! Can't wait for tonight!

Yeah, I've been getting hype about Jalen Walker... which means we won't get him.

I think Rich Eisen just mocked him to the Raiders. I feel like his stock has been climbing the last few days. If they do, or if the Giants do something wild at 3, it could definitely set off chaos.

The evaluations could swing wildly given the lack of talent gaps, the amount of guys who showed too little at the top this year and different teams being ok with different 'buts' players have.

It's only chaos because of the lack of usual group think. Someone or multiple will overreach and I'm going to enjoy watching it tonight after tuning out for years.

In your other thread, don't remember the title. Some insight was that most teams in top 10 was looking into trading out of their pick. 

 

Sound like potential chaos.

 

Will it happen? Depend on teams accepting a lot less compensation for doing so. 

Maybe some top 10 teams even will be considering trading up, if their attempt to trading down is getting low balled. Just to get a blue chip player.

It's a great year to be a smart team. With all the perennially dumb teams sitting in the top 10 wanting to trade down there will probably be a perennially smart team identify a guy who may not stand out from the pack from a pure talent perspective but who does stand out from the pack in terms of fitting what they're looking for at that position of need and they'll jump up the draft board at a bargain to get him.

I'm all for the whole thing going sideways as long as we come out of it good. Chaotic drafts are a blast to watch  

But now watch it just be a run-of-the-mill draft...

Panthers trade #8 for a mid round 1st swap and a 2nd. amass some ‘solid’ starter level/quality depth. 

This team is still paper thin when it comes to quality depth at very key positions. WR? LT? Center? QB? CB? Edge? The next few days have to be about amassing as large a  quantity as possible of dudes that can at the very least do their damn job. 

Blue chip dudes are vital to winning championships, but If they end up with 1 stud and 1 practice squad guy it’s actually a step backwards. The stud may win you 2 games that you don’t deserve and screw up next season’s draft. It screws up the window timing. 

I’ll take 4 solid starters all day long.

Jeanty drops to 8. Cowboys give us 12 and 44 to move up. We pick Williams at 12

I think it would probably be more like #12 and their 3rd for #8 and I would still be intrigued by that. My concern is more a long the lines of moving down to like #20 for just an extra (later) 3rd. Fug that. You gotta get more value out of #8 overall than that.
