Moving on to the 2nd round discussion

#57 + #111 gets us up into the #49/50 range. Not sure we'd be willing or should be willing to get anymore aggressive than that.

Yeah this is how I feel. If I'm the Panthers, I check in with each team starting around 38, see if they'll take one of our 4ths and 57 for their pick, and if not, thank them and hang up the phone. Hopefully we don't obsess over 1 player and massively overpay in desperation.

I wouldn't hesitate to give up our 3rd - or even a future pick - to move up for Donovan Ezeiruaku. I can't imagine we don't have a 1st round grade on him, but it'll have to be done early because he won't last long if we don't make a move with the Browns, Texans, Titans or Raiders at the top of the 2nd.

Probably the last well-rounded guy we have a chance at this draft. I like Umanmeilen, but he's more of a specialist. Basically, I see him as what everyone accused Burns of being but worse.

We need to hit on a defender. Hoping for one of the Landon Jackson/Nick Scourton/JT Tuimoloau big EDGE guys. Not the most dynamic guys, but it seems like they’ll all have ten-year careers as useful players.

Don't forget Jack Sawyer at edge.

I feel like we really need to come away with at least one of these players tonight:

Donovan Ezeiruaku
Mike Green
Carson Schwesinger
Nick Emmanwori
Shavon Revel
Xavier Watts
Azareye'h Thomas
Andrew Mukuba
Kyle Kennard

 

I hope Green isn't on our draft board but agree otherwise.

I'll add Josaiah Stewart to that list.

    • For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.  
    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
