My Plan for the Draft


Matthias

Recommended Posts

Here it is. We lose out, the other teams win out and give us the 2nd overall pick. If Kalil is there, we draft him. If he stays in school, we trade back, pick up an extra 1st this year and next year, along with an extra 2nd this year, and draft accordingly. Then next year with our two 1sts, we trade up and select Kalil. How about it?:cool:

I do not see us loosing out. I think we loose in Houston Sunday....Reliant Stadium has been a house of horrors for us, and the Texans D is stout. I think we beat Tampa Bay Christmas Eve at BoA ( a glimpse of the future and a stocking stuffer for the fans). New Orleans?, if they rest their starters we win, if not...?? Anyway the draft will be interesting. I think we all know the needs are many. My "wish" list includes a big athletic WR, plus help at LB and of course secondary help. And for God's sakes get a kicker!!!!

Get off the Kalil train.. it's not going to happen man. The Rams and Vikings may not win another game all season.. neither will Cleveland. 2 of those 3 teams need an OT.. and Kalil fits the bill.

And we are not going to lose to the Bucs.

I think realistically, we may be picking either 3rd or 4th overall. It could be that the Rams trade out with another team looking to take a QB. So if we are in the third position, Kalil could fall to us. I know I ramble on and on about Kalil, but you saw what Ryan did out there yesterday. How he was getting down the field and making blocks. His brother is a much better prospect coming out. It's time we had a sure fire star at LT, to give Cam sufficient protection.

If Kalil is available, there's no way we shouldn't draft him. His last name bumps his value to our team *a little*, but you'd think his value to our team would be a little more than others too because (assuming they have a good relationship) it would help the chemistry of the O-line (probably the most important single group in the game to have good chemistry) and also help with resigning the both of them. They might be more willing to take a little less pay to stay together and be less tempted to leave in free agency with the two of them together. His value to the Panthers goes beyond the simple value of a potential elite LT. With Gross getting up there in age, and his play seeming to decline the past couple years (at least in my opinion) we could extend Gross's career a little by putting him on the right side where a quick step is less vital and have Cam's blind side protected for the next decade+.

WE ARE NOT DRAFTING KALIL EVEN IF HES AVAILABLE. Some of you want him purely because of his last name. Get over it

That's a stupid a post as I've read on here, and that's saying something with the likes of TRD, KT, PFFL, etc.

His last name has nothing to do with it for me, but pedigree does carry weight with a lot of scouts-> See Pouncey.

However, Matt is the unquestioned top OT in the draft, the type who protect your QB's blindside for 10+ years. He's a sure top 3 pick unless trades for QB's get crazy.

He'd be BPA damn near regardless of where we pick.

    • Yeah not taking that Burns trade was infinitely stupid. We seem to be finally righting the ship but, imo, our biggest issue since Tepper bought the team has been coaches and management having a poor understanding of where our own roster is at. Starting with that idiot Rhule drinking his own kool-aid and thinking he was going to come and take the NFL by storm with Teddy freaking Bridgewater. Could have just kept Cam on the last year of his contract and gone from there but noooo that fat slob had to feel like he was the big man on campus. First round wizard Marty Hurney who, for whatever his faults, has a freaking HOF track record with first round picks, wants to trade up for Hebert but fat fug Rhule says no. Then we kept Rhule for 3 years which is absolutely unbelievable to me and every single year he treated our roster like it was just one player away trading our draft picks for Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield who have proven since leaving that Matt Rhule was an even bigger idiot of a coach than we thought. We finally seem to understand we are a ways off and trade CMC, but then we don’t take the actual good trade for Brian Burns who was never better than a run of the mill situational pass rusher. Then we botch the self scout of our OL (and team) after Wilks, even though they were bad before Wilks simplified the scheme, thinking they can execute whatever the hell Reich and Brown were trying to do. So we win a couple meaningless games playing dummy ball and Fitterer thinks we’re a player away again. And nobody even considers that having the slowest receiving corps imaginable with Damiere freaking Byrd, who can’t even make it to the season before being injured and cut, as your only hope for speed, coupled with the worst pass blocking OL I’ve ever seen, might lead to titanic levels of disaster. The way Canales and Morgan have been adamant about constantly bringing competition at every position has been refreshing and made a huge difference. I was kind of worried that we had fallen into our old ways leading up to the draft with all the talk of defense only and worried that they might feel the offense was set. Very glad to see they were not complacent on that. My big thing now is I’m still wondering why Evero is still here. I can’t think of a single player who has gotten better under him, and the Broncos defense got better once he left. We’ll see.
    • really good interview that gives some insight into their decision making process in making up the schedules and the issues they run into with so many people broadcasting games now. also some interesting discussion on what they have going on and where they might be heading in the international games. vikings have 2 of them, btw. we might be seeing more of that.     
    • wow i absolutely LOVED watching that.   will watch again...and again...and again.
