Processing Blue: immediate draft needs

RT, C

I see TE sneaking into the fray, but we have drafted 3 TEs since 2021.  I think you let them develop (Sanders, Evans flashed at times), but I do not see an upgrade unless we draft TE by day 2.  We need too many other positions.  

No, I don't believe the BPA rule is pure or always followed.  IF the draft was before free agency, then maybe.

If it’s not Sadiq at 19 ( I hope it’s not him) I think we see what shakes out in FA. We’ve drafted two guys in the last two drafts on day 3, so I don’t see any upside going back to that well….especially in this draft.

I could see if Njoku’s number comes down or someone else as a vet and true upgrade on a 1-yr deal. Re-visit next offseason and see if Sanders or Evans becomes what we want them to be between now and then. 
 

At some point, if we want to upgrade TE, we have to invest in a trade, an early draft pick or FA. These 4th rounders and beyond are what they are.

where do you put NT?

I've having troubles with my list, its too fluid and the value is crushing me too.

like, edge is back to the top even with Phillips..... or dare say a case of mine can be made... 

I still feel panthers have WR on the bullseye...

A legit NT and a true FS are the elephants in the room that a lot of people aren't talking about but they're huge needs.

I'd list the following in terms of needing an upgrade at the starter position 

1- LB 2

2- NB

3- TE

4- NT

5- FS

6- WR 3

 

Now if you talk about rookie depth we need

OT

C

outside CB

Edge

So if the draft goes something like 

round 1 - OT

round 2- LB

Round 3- CB/FS/NB

round 4- C

I'd be pretty happy

Spot-on. D-line and FS are much bigger immediate needs than OT or WR. Look at the current roster and the fact that they have not brought in any new players at those positions.

    • Yeah lol well the interest isn’t really about seeking stimulation.  I wanted to see how actually bad it was.  And how much of it was women setting him up to be their cash cow.  That is the stuff that leveraged the Panthers into David Tepper’s hands. It is important in that sense.     The worst that I have heard is that he got them in the car and clumsily reached across to help them with their seat belt and made contact. With his arm. That was probably his big slick move. And I can almost guarantee he wasn’t rejected every time. It is easy to picture that action bringing his head close enough to the woman’s head to where he could go in for the kiss if he thought he got the green light.    I really don’t care if JR was a horn dog. We heard all our lives up until the last few years that one of the perks of being really old is that you can flirt with the young women and it is not just tolerated but expected. So he was keeping a tradition alive at some point 😂
    • Well I rubbed some dirt on it and am still here just not optimistic about the future of the QB position. Even what I had accepted as a ceiling raised to an acceptable level turned out to be a bit of a mirage, upon rewatch of the WC game.  Good plays were there yes, but some pretty bad ones too that the good ones late in the game kind of obscured. I have to downgrade that a little.  Especially after rewatching the last 4 plays. I remember the arguments about he did his job the WRs didn’t but that was really just that last muff by Coker I think it was on our final offensive play.   To the future: I know what my level is for paying him and recommitting, but I don’t have any confidence that the team shares my high bar.    But thanks for the pep talk
