I'm Starting To Think Fletcher Cox Won't Be There At 9...

Lets say this happens

1 Luck

2 RG3

3 Kalil

4 T rich

5 Mo Clay

6 Blackmon (possibly Cox)

7 trade PHI - Cox

8 Tannehill

wtf do we do? I guess the options are:

Coples (most likely)

Melvin Ingram

Michael Floyd

Luke Kuechly

Michael Brockers

Stephon Gilmore

thats the order of the players I would want.

you guessed right.........some things are just out of our control.

as coach RR said....................we just have to be ready and react to what happens in front of us.

I think the Panthers front office realized quite early in the process that we need more pics if we are to fill our major needs.

Say we take DT Cox and LB Lavonte David with our 1st 2 pics. With no 3rd we would still need a starting caliber CB, DE, and O-line depth.

Unless Claiborne or Blackmon fall to us, I think theere's a 60-70% chance we trade out.

I'm not concerned at all! We'll be getting one of the top 10 collegiate football players in the country at the 9 spot, or we'll trade back for more picks.

Quit stressing this and before you know it we'll be on the clock.

#1 rule to live by during draft week:

Hear everything and believe nothing!

IF...there is someone willing to trade up! And IF there IS a can't miss player there at #9 how can we not draft them???

Dont believe pre draft hype, Cox is going to be there cause Jax is in real need of Oline help and there not getting it trading down as far as philly. Now STL taking Cox could happen but I doubt it cause offense is a big problem for them.

    • Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical. 
    • Football is not the professional sport where timidness and apprehension are justly rewarded. 
    • Bryce Young had a super high floor definitely at least won't be a bust safe pick we allegedly had seen in some time.......and went on to have one of the worst rookie seasons of all time.  They are all lotto picks.  And that is especially true for whatever they will be day 1 in the NFL.  I don't think Tmac is a sure thing year 1.  It's not like we watched him do his thing in the SEC.  He was a PAC12 guy.  I'm sure it will take time
