What happened to the Warmack bandwagons?

I bet he doesn't go in the top 20. Seems like every year there's supposed to be an OG that goes in the top half of the 1st and yet it almost never actually happens.

you know why? cause most teams don't like the idea of drafting an OG in the first round. i don't see this year being any different. few want to be "that" team. it's seen as a luxury pick that few are able to make. it's also seen as just not a premium position that you need to invest much in. you draft an OG in the first and you might get him for kind of cheap for a rookie, but when that second contract comes up it's going to be really expensive if he works out and that's usually just more than what teams are going to want to commit themselves to.

Exactly. Analysts just hear the NFL guys raving about a prospect and don't take into account the position he plays. You'd never see a kicker, punter, or FB mocked in the 1st round. Yet they can't get it through their thick skulls that interior OLs almost never go in the top half of the 1st. Elite ones go around 20ish, very good ones go jear the bottom of the first, and there will be years when none go in the 1st at all.

He's fell a bit while Cooper from UNC has gained on him. If you have Warmack as a top ten player then pretty much so is Cooper. Will either of them go top 10??? I doubt it, but I think they both go in the first round and most likely both go top 20.

A bunch of mock drafts and scouts are actually moving Cooper above Warmack as well. Three of these have Cooper above Warmack and Cooper going in the 7-19 range. While Warmack is going in the 11-18 range.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
