With the news of Jordan retiring, how does the Panthers proceed in the Draft?

O-line was already a pretty pressing need, but so was WR. So now, how should we proceed?

 

I have to think we need to go Oline first and foremost. Can't get it to that new shiney WR if we don't have protection, nor run the ball.

 

Plus it's easier to find a good WR in later rounds than a big man (not that the panthers have ever been good at late round receivers here recently)

 

 

What are your thoughts.

I still think you take the best WR available in the first. Unless a top OT falls.  

 

Regardless what happens to the line Cam needs weapons. We can scheme around an offensive line and at least have some patch work bullsht ready to go. At WR, talent is talent and we basically have none.

O-line was always one of our biggest needs. And we all knew (or should have known) Gross was going to retire either this year or the next. So LT was going to be something we went after.

But Getts has said over and over "Use FA to set up the draft so you can go BPA everytime" meaning I don't really think this will effect our draft one way or the other.

I expect us to draft O-Line, Secondary, and at least 1 WR if not two. And I bet we draft another LB and maybe DL. And that's what we were going to draft before Gross decided to reitre and I expect its what we do now.

I expect us also to pick up at least two O-linemen in FA and MAYBE 1 WR, as well as resigning the guys G-man wants to retain.

from what I've seen, i think this is the way it shakes out.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
