First off, I'm gonna go ahead and say I expect short responses that will not be very friendly, but whatever...

Webb is a RFA and we could get him by giving up our 1st.

Now before you go ape-poo, we all know a CB2 is a spot we need to fill and additionally Webb is one of the best in the league atm. Only 26 and a proven starter. We use basically our first draft pick on a starting CB...something many want with our 1st pick. We then get the best d-lineman our staff finds in the draft at 2-9 & start from there. We'd be looking at Chandler Jones, Crick, Mercilus, Curry, etc. It really could make sense.

I'm just saying, if people are willing to take a Kirkpatrick, Claiborne, or Jenkins..but why not basically get Webb a mere 3 years in and proven?

Of course this would be crazy and most likely won't happen, but would you personally do this?

I'd be open to the idea...I think he's better than the shot in the dark we get at 9 in this year's draft.

people like the draft. people will always like the draft. Your argument does make sense. Only difference, of course, being that Webb would be more expensive than a rookie CB. People will never be comfortable with this idea though. It just feels dirty and weird.

Yeah I don't expect many to like this idea which is why I was obvious about my response expectations, but really this would be something to at least look at if Hurney can maneuver the $$ around

If you trade for him assuming they want to give him up, you give up a top 10 pick and you have to pay him a big contract. If you use your 1 in the draft on a corner you have used your pick but end up with a guy who you have to pay 4 million a year instead of 10 million. I would rather save the money and hope he is great, then get someone proven who you have to spent a bunch to get. With Gamble at 10 million a year can we spend 10 more for another corner. He would cost as much as all our draft picks combined.

I'm more for the idea of drafting a Claiborne or whoever because I believe in bringing in fresh new faces who want to earn their spot. Eager young men who are gonna go out and fight for it. Not someone who's just looking for a payday and a hand out. I want guys who want to not only be a part of the Panther's culture, but cultivate it and make it their own. I want Panther's that want to be Panther's for life. It seems easier to do that thru the draft than thru free agency.

No. I've haven't even seen the Raven's own fans thinking that highly of the guy until maybe this season. I'd be much more interested swapping first round picks with Philly and getting Asante. He's older but could fill in great at #2 corner while we give Hogan time to develop.

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
