What Would Your Draft Moves Be

Recommended Posts

if you could do WHATEVER you wanted in the draft.. (within reason), what would it be.. what scenarios would you try to make play out??

for me, If I'm carolinas GM..i trade back to about an early second round pick in exchange for a decent DT and a 3rd round pick. Draft Janoris Jenkins with the 40th. Trade Stewart for a 2nd and 3rd pick and a decent skills posistion player for the depth chart. That fills all our needs, gives us Depth, and Frees up Cap space..it also gives us 3 extra early picks to give Cam some targets and more defense (and we could pay them too!) If for some reason (which i doubt) all the good CB's get taken before 40.. then oh well, we use our pick for some serious line reinforments..this plan works for me..

i wanna make it clear, i like Stewart, and i would like to see him stay.. so lets not get into the bs drama that accompanies any mention of him. I want to know what your scenario is for putting the best chance of winning on the field.

Trade down out of the first round and load up on 3rd round picks so we can have a roster full of Dan Connor caliber guys (hopefully mostly white). We need to get back under the radar, this is all making me nervous.

Did you just trade Stewart for not only a 2nd, but also a 3rd, AND a player?

hes spent his entire career splitting carriers, hes not beat up, hes just about garunteed 1000 yards a season, and we wont slap a franchise tag on him.. sounds good to me. he is an instant offense changer. and im thinking like a special teams guy, or a 2nd/3rd on the depth chart...not a big deal

it doesn't break down to one scenario, but addressing two important components of defense we're lacking in (DL, secondary) would be a big help in order to combat the ever increasing spread formations in this league both in better coverage and giving the QB less time in the pocket. For defensive linemen you also need to look for who also defends the run better, and you need to get a franchise type player in the top 10. You don't draft insurance, you don't draft guys who don't play in key positions. Also, CBs and 4-3 DEs are two of the most expensive positions to pay for a good free agent.

So at 9, Claiborne, Coples, or best DT.

at 40, whatever you didn't draft from the first round (so, for instance, if you picked Coples at 9, pick either a CB or DT, depending on where there is better value; as a 2nd example, you could take Fletcher Cox at 9 and Nick Perry if he's there at 40). Perry's probably my 2nd favorite DE besides Coples.

not worried about spending our highest picks on bolstering the offensive line. most great linemen are had in later rounds anyway (Carl Nicks was a 4th round pick for instance). You don't need 8 first round picks to have a good linebacking core.

We also need a really good punt returner. I'd love Joe Adams but I feel like he's just going to be overdrafted by either a team that doesn't have many glaring holes, a team that just doesn't give a poo or a team with too many picks between the 2nd and 3rd rounds. If it was between him and a "scat back" i'd pick Adams because he can also contribute as a WR but tbh this team is so fuging busy this offseason retooling a record-setting running game I wouldn't be surprised if they took the scat back (even though Stewart and Tolbert had like a combined 100 receptions last season between them)

We would be LUCKY to get a 2nd rd pick for him. Extremely lucky. RB's have little trade value, especially one due a contact at the end of the year.

    • They've gone way overboard with the masking of plays by only filming the ball in air.  Nobody is analyzing camp highlights. 
    • Canales up first. Guys got their legs back yesterday and started a little slow when they came out Bryce challenged them in the huddle and they responded "Dominant practice for the defense today." Praised turnovers, "beautiful hits," and being physical Praised Moehrig, Ransom, Incoom, and Jones II Confirmed playing starters. Predominantly a young team and can't pass up an opportunity. Emphasized game day routines such as nutrition, body readiness, etc. Plus it's a bunch of new guys on the defense. Bryce will start. Will play them the first two, but starters might sit for the third game depending on how practice goes that week. Nic Scourton has a mild hamstring that happened in special teams. DJ Johnson had an issue with his hip flare up and is getting checked out this afternoon. Experimenting with approach to preseason games. In Seattle they played their starters in all but the last preseason game and what Pete Carroll was looking for in terms of mental readiness to play football. Thomas Incoom has been getting a lot of work with AC Carter adding to his toolbelt. Getting better as a rusher and being physical in the run game. Looking for a consistency in response. 1pt for a win, 3pts for a TD. Defense doesn't like that, but in games if they give up one go ball the score can swing. They challenged the pass game and the run game today. Guys are getting together before, between, and after team drills to challenge each other Job of the coaching staff to set the foundation for our schemes, philosophy, and expectations of what it's like to play Panthers football. Powerful when players take that and the locker room owns it. That's when it becomes our team, their team. At the end of the day, the men on the field have to rebound from a bad play, celebrate the good plays, and keep each other in tune for a whole game. Robert Hunt is amazing. Size, talent, quickness, flexibility. Really intelligent guy that there will say himself there are technique things he needs to work on. Regardless of where players are at, there's a constant learning curve and loves that Big Rob is challenging himself with the position coach. Thinks the digital down and distance can be really valuable. Getting the information quickly will help with the flow of the game. Thought TMac looked great but there were some near misses that he'll have to get in the room and communicate with Bryce on while reviewing film. James Mitchell keeps doing right and his trust factor is increasing with the QBs. If you're right and the coverage says the ball goes there, it'll come. Had some issues at the start of camp but is trending up. Newton or Person: "It looked like today was beyond thud but short of live. What do you call that?" Canales: "No, that's thud. In my mind, that's what thud should look like. The challenge for our defensive guys is can you put your body in a position where we know that would've been a tackle." Whizzing by, tagging with two hands, etc doesn't show you whether you would've made a tackle. That's not real football. Let's the play extend because guys have to be ready to chase sometime where the ball squirts out from a pit. Can't train to say "Ah, it was a tackle" and relax but instead play with intensity through the whistle. Lathan Ransom is bringing the physical style of play that they saw on film. Has been really into the details and someone that they can count on. Has really given himself a chance to start at the other safety position. Excited for the extra energy from a game-like environment that they'll get from FanFest. Used to have four preseason games and now FanFest feels like that first one. Will give ST full speed reps to evaluate. Making plays and feeding off of the fans. Window closed quickly on the INT to finish practice. CSW baited Bryce with some movement and made a great play. Saw it from Bryce's perspective with TMac coming open. Has played all over the secondary that they can count on to speak loudly and be on the same page with his teammates.
