NFL Draft is a month out and I still have no Idea who we're looking at?

Ok, so where do you guys think we go in the draft this year? This is the first time I've not had any clue since we drafted Everrett Brown(not a good draft either).  Last year we knew there was 3-4 people we were looking at and everyone and their Grandma knew we would pick Star if he landed in our lap which he did.

 

So where do you think we will go this year WR? OL? or another suprise possition Pick? and who do you feel will be this years "Star".

 

I honestly feel we need to go WR, but as far as who I dont have a clue.

1. Cooks

2. Kouandjio

3. Fuller

 

In that order if available.  And while a legit argument could be made that none will be available, IMHO at least one will be, and I think it will be Cyrus, who has the highest upside of all.

There is a pretty extensive list in the Draft section of the board that lists all players we have met with and worked-out thus far. It paints a pretty good picture on what positions and players we have been targeting. Worth a look for sure. 

 

Thanks for the heads up, according to that list though Ebron is the only player we've taken a second look at so far, I would be happy with him.  I've said earlier I wouldnt mind a 2 TE set because of the mis-match it would create.

BPA! Simple as that as don't lock in on one position even one where we don't need a player at, The Giants were known for drafting players in positions which were already strong and I see that as Gettlemans philosophy!

 

They will probably go BPA based on possition of need, you dont draft another star QB just because he's the best player on the Board.

I actually have no idea. I think that this year there is a lot of homework being done because the draft is so deep. In previous years, there was a sure fire, "yeah-we-would-take-that-player" scenario, but now? Who knows. There's about eight prospects I'd be fine if we got.

As stated in another thread, my "Star" players for this draft are Marquise Lee and Taylor Lewan.  They're the guys I would LOVE to fall to us (and it's not outside the realm of possibility for it to happen).  More realistic options I hope we're looking hard at, in order:  OBJ, Benjamin, Jordan Matthews, Cooks.  I'm not sold on Zach Martin but most say the value would be there at #28.  I just don't see him as an NFL LT.  I could easily be wrong, but he'd be the only OL that could likely be available for us that I wouldn't scoff at with Greg Robinson, Jake Matthews and Taylor Lewan likely gone.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
