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.

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.
