i only wish i could have snagged a guard and an extra OT at some point. but i decided to do BPA, reaching no more than 10 spots. that and i hope Connor Shaw doesnt get drafted so we can sign im UDFA on da cheap. that man can play some ball and wins games with his legs just like a certain Panthers QB we all know and love...

i had to make a choice between Jarvis Landry, Ja'Wuan James, and Antonio Richardson in Rd. 3... it sucked. haha 

 

I probably would have done the same thing.

 

 

I'm not a fan of TIny Richardson that high though.  If he were still available in the 5th, maybe.  I would probably wait and just gamble on Seantrel Henderson in the later rounds.

I'd take it, but I'd rather have Billy Turner in the 2nd than Cyrus.  If our team doctors are supremely confident Cyrus' injury problems are a thing of the past, then he would be a great pick.  Seems like a big IF though.  I'd also prefer to see something different with rounds 4-6.  Something like a CB in 4, DE/S/QB/or maybe TE in 5 and 6.

Turner was available in the 2nd but because i was only allowing myself to reach 10 spots from BPA, CJ was the pick. Turner was 50+ spots away though i agree he might be a safer bet. i was using the Walter Football school of thought on Fanspeak and i dont always agree with where WF has prospects listed...

what do y'all think of Colvin? i dont know much about him but i have heard his name thrown about a good bit so i assumed he'd be better than any of the scrubs in the 7th...

Was a 2nd round pick before he tore his ACL in the Senior Bowl. Good hands, good size 6'0 and quick feet. A STEAL in the 7th.

None of your first 3 picks will be there a at those picks.

 

i think Kouandjio could slip to us in the second. but youre right about Cooks and Landry. i'd be willing to bet Cooks is gone before we can get to him in the first. watching Landry's highlights though, i would be perfectly comfortable drafting him instead in the 1st.

 

see... when i drafted Landry, i didnt just have to choose between him and a couple OTs. Bruce Ellington, Jared Abbrederis, and Donte Moncrief were all bunched up with Landry. im pretty high on Moncrief, you wont see me complain if we draft him. but i think Landry is the better receiver. and being a Gamecock fan, i know how well Ellington can ball. the man blows the tops off defenses like they slapped his momma. i'd be perfectly comfortable welcoming him into the black and blue aswell. but again, as much as i hate to say it about an LSU player... Landry is better overall than Ellington...

    • Sure, there's definitely a chance that a fire sale in 2022 could've paid off but I don't think that's a certainty. It's not just about stockpiling the picks and bettering odds; it's about hitting on those picks, having a stable coaching staff to develop them, and keeping the locker room engaged. We didn't exactly have a model front office nor stable coaching staff in 2022. It's worth noting that part of the reason that DJ had to be included in the trade up for #1 was because the Bears needed an immediate, proven WR1 to help Fields. It was him or another immediate first-round pick, not a future one like what was being offered for Burns (whom teams knew that things were shaky with and that they could afford to wait). As for the Eagles, they recovered because the foundation was already in place. Pederson got flak and was ultimately fired (and was just fired again this offseason from the Jags). Their recovery was quick because the foundation was already in place: Howie Roseman and a solid roster (that included a stacked OL, a second year QB, and a veteran defense). Philly had a margin of error that just wasn't available to Carolina. I'm not against using the draft to rebuild, but a full-on teardown comes with real consequences: fan disengagement, a fractured locker room, poor development, a losing environment... and I don't believe that we had the necessary leadership at the time to cleanly navigate it. That's a gamble that I want no part of.  Now that we do have a staff that seems to be in complete alignment and building for the future rather than fighting for their jobs, I'm more inclined to observe their process and see where it leads rather than backseat driving with "perfect" hindsight. 
    • I see it a bit differently considering there is only 20M in cap space. Given how many of the premium positions are on rookie contracts their cap should not be nearly maxed out. Tillis still has a lot of work to do before these rookies will need a second contract.
