You’re on the clock

[shaq]

It’s pick 8, nobody is trying to trade up and you’re forced to make a pick. 

The board has fallen like this:

#1- Cam Ward

#2- Travis Hunter

#3- Abdul Carter

#4- Will Campbell

#5- Ashton Jeanty 

#6- Mason Graham 

#7- Armand Membou

Who do you draft and why?

[Waldo]

Membou, then Ez and then I don't care because I won't belive in them until they prove something anyways. So in this case it's EZ and mark off edge from the need list.

There is a huge chance I will be making fun of whoever they take if they stay at 8. Just like their first 2 picks from last year.

Jalon Walker

Tyler Warran. I feel he can boast the offense in so many ways by supporting run game and he’s offense. I would draft 2 safeties with 2/3 rd picks 

[Jay Roosevelt]

Jalon Walker. I'd go Mike Green if not for the off-field issues.

[Mr. Scot]

I probably take Jalon Walker but not before putting a lot of thought into Tyler Warren and Tet McMillan...

Exactly Mike Green would be an amazing pick if he didn’t have all the off the field issues. Dude is a true pass rusher, gonna put up 10+ sacks yearly in his prime.

Exactly, I feel like 8 is one of the hardest picks in the draft. There’s no clear cut BPA, rather an abundance of similarly talented players at different positions.

[LinvilleGorge]

Listen to any and all trade offers and take one of the appropriate value is there. If not, draft Jalon Walker.

Just got a trust your scouting. When it's all said and done there will end up being a lot of variance on the field in the NFL between all these similarly graded prospects.

The scary part for Panthers fans is our recent history of abject scouting failures.

Trade: 

Indy wants Warren and they fear a few teams before them.  So I found a trade calculator and did this:

So I get 14, 45, 80.  for 8, 111, 114, and 163. 

Panthers move back to 14, have 2 second rounders (45, 57), and two third rounders (74, 80)-five picks on days 1 and 2.

Yeah very well said, I think the reports coming out that we’re looking to trade back reflects some internal conflict on who we should draft. Call me crazy but I don’t think Jalon is a lock at 8, I think they have a multitude of guys with near identical grades.

I like it, what positions would you be targeting between the first two rounds?

Honestly, probably so. I could see Walker being the prospect with the most support but far from the consensus.
