Who is best value at the 5 slot?

As of today, that is where the Panthers are picking.

Not many wins for the teams in front of us. (Jacksonville might pick up one more), so it looks like the 5 slot is where we should be looking.

Kalil might make sense here as would Blackmon and Claibourne.

Of the three, I would say the CB gets the nod.

Indy - Luck

STL - Kalil

Minnesota - Claiborne

Jacksonville - Blackmon

Is my guess if those are the 4 teams ahead of us and no trades are made. Should have a great spot to trade down for a team wanting a QB. I think Barkley will stay at USC and the new Jax coach may want to dump Gabbert and bring in his own QB.

unless they really fall in love with some DT, going Dline at #5 would be a mistake. we have solid ends and already have two young, largely unknown tackles (and tbh I've liked Mcclain so far all things considered). We need OLB and CB on defense, but it's possible that we may want to pick up an upgrade on the O-Line with Martin or a different prospect.

anyway, I doubt we'll be picking at 5 tbh, but if we are, and if the draft goes as predicted above, we may also get a nice option to trade down for a QB hungry team.

We arent picking Kalil. Hurney put Otah on IR for a reason.

and here I thought he put Otah on IR because Otah is hurt every year...

Go Dline. You build a defense up front first. Its your foundation. If you dont go defense you get Blackmon.

May be pick 15 before a DT goes off the board. Would be major reach at 5.

Redskins or Seahawks moving up to 5 from the early teens might be good scenario for trade.

"Best Value" at the 5 slot will more than likely be Blackmon. If he is there then we are stupid not drafting him. He is a playmaker and we need playmakers. Even tho, he doesn't fill a huge need it is none the less a need. If blackmon goes off the board at 3 or 4, then I would venture to say Claiborne or Martin would be the best value while filling a need.

Otah could have played more this year... I'm pretty sure Hurney was giving him yet another chance to get healthy again with intentions to have him back next year. Again, not risking losing him for good. Shows the value Otah has to hurney. He ain't gunna be replaced yet folks. He may be injury prone but he does have talent. IMO, the FO will want to fill a need somewhere else.

      Tony Pauline: Panthers’ Biggest Roster Needs

      BPA in draft all the way. Address your biggest needs in free agency.

      Exactly.  You let him play out next season and continue to develop Thorton.  Jackson’s earned his next contract, but his age and the risk of tying up such a large portion of the payroll at one position leads me to believe that we’ll let him walk. In all likelihood, we’ll draft another CB, or two, and bring in some journeymen to fill the roster void, between now and the start of the 2027 season.  That’ll create more balance financially across the roster enabling us to invest in other areas.

      I’m just not impressed with these hires/openings

      By strato · Posted

      As far as the NFCS … I think this division will be hotly contested the next couple of years.   I am tending to pay more respect to both Atlanta and the Saints n terms of how strong they will be moving forward, than not.    I am mixed on Ryan but think they have a decent roster to start with. I don’t think he blundered hiring Stefanski. And that offense can be dangerous with a QB. Plus, defense is arrow up. No 1st round pick, WB issues will dull their effectiveness. Question is, to what degree?   I think Moore is going to be a good HC and can overcome tape that people have on Shough. They need a lot but they were playing with people. Just the way you want to see all the way to the end.    Not sure about Tampa they have Mayfield but I don’t think they can maintain their success and Bowles is not going to last much longer. They have to go through all that. Gonna be tough once it starts. Might already have started.    For us I feel pretty good about Morgan. But less so about our offense, we have some short term RB and OL issues and those things are critical given what we are working with at QB.  Overall, mixed. Like a lot of what I see but some major question marks remain.
