So they had Star ranked third best DT?

 

They did, but they ONLY ranked players they knew they wanted on their team.

Due to the players they already have and their switch to a 4 -3, Star is the only pure NT listed, the other DTs are stronger UT.

I actually find this quite interesting. Everyone gave them crap for the Center pick (myself included), but they actually had Frederick listed as a second round pick. The problem was that all 18 of their first round graded guys went ahead of them (as well as some 2nd round grades) and Frederick was the BPA on their board.

 

Though what's odd is that they didn't follow this strategy throughout, since after Frederick Terrance Williams was their next highest ranked player and he was there at their second pick, but they passed on him for Escobar (though they did still end up with Williams in the 3rd). They also let Barkley and Nassib slide to the 4th despite having 2nd round grades on them.

 

I understand it's situational, but why even rank guys so high if you're not gonna draft them when their available for your next two picks? Instead they took J.J. Wilcox, whom they only had a 3rd round grade for. It makes sense for them to amend the BPA philosophy and not take a QB in the 2nd or 3rd, but why not do that in the first as well and not take a center?  :lol:

The real strange thing is they had Floyd as a top 5 guy and they had him sitting there at 18 but they traded down to get the center... Talk about sticking to your board lol

Yeah I didn't even think about them trading down. So they were sitting at 18 and had exactly 18 guys ranked as first rounders, so they would get one of their first round guys regardless (would've have the option of Floyd, Rhodes, Patterson, Eifert, and Werner). Basically they planned their entire board (well, the first round) around their 18th pick...I'm thinking you should consider other options (a la, a trade down) when filling out these things, but that's just me.

      What a Possible Trading Out of 1st Round May* Look Like

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      Even if he beats the odds, returns midseason  and plays like he did last year it won’t warrant a big contract extension.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      It’ll be interesting to see how the board falls I completely agree with you on TE for us The safety from Oregon would be the cherry on top for Evero’s defense/scheme.  If a OL’men is there that you love it would be very hard to pass up. This fan base seems to just see Walker as a stop gap but I wouldn’t be so sure. He’s the same age as Ekwonu. He’s had a much more impressive career arc/progression than Icky has. He’s the better pass protector. As far as I see it if Walker has a good year I’d bring him back over Icky. Ekwonu isn’t some elite franchise LT. Playing next to Lewis is going to be great for Walker much like it has been for Icky. We definitely need to get younger/cheaper on the OL though so for this reason alone it’s still top of my list come round 1 if board falls this way  Could also use another corner with Mike Jackson’s deal up after this season and needing a nickel but Corey Thornton looked really good in that role in the limited time we got to see him. However he’s coming off an achillies injury and you never know with those.  Then as mentioned above we do still have a need at WR. As far as “weapons” go it’s kind of a 2 man show with Tmac and Coker and neither is a burner. If Jordan Tyson is there at 19 and we can have a young WR group locked up for cheap that’s a huge advantage cap wise  And don’t forget linebacker. That clip in Devin’s Lloyd blueprint they used from Evero saying they need more intelligence there could’ve been left out for Wallace’s sake but it’s true. Wallace is lost in coverage. Pair a smart linebacker with Lloyd and that’s a group with Wallace and Cherelus being depth
