“aren’t you glad we didn’t get Trevor Lawrence”

uh not really because I can tell you with confidence what Dave tepper wants to do

Quinton Nelson is one of the dumbest draft picks made in the last 10 years

to add to this, “value” isn’t even exclusively relegated to ability but to positional value, and cost/investment, both in terms of draft capital and financial tenability in regards to the player/position in question and the means of replacing it through additional means for example, interior linemen aren’t drafted high because A) their impact on a game is comparatively minimal B) you can buy elite interior line play in free agency for a pittance, and it is relatively reliable to do so. why would you spend a high pick on that position when you can use it on a position that can be less reliably acquired and costs more to acquire through trades/FA? this is what constitutes BPA, nothing I’m saying is particularly insightful or bold, and yet this board specifically seems to have this massive demographic of posters we have to humor every off-season (wait it’s not the off-season) who believe that the draft is a matter of nothing more than “wow this guy is so good/safe, nothing else matters, take him” because ole gettleboy said that’s how it works and if you get into all that high falutin thinkin stuff you’re gonna miss out on a chance to draft a Really Good Player

I get that you believe that what these GMs say in public interviews is a deep dive 30 for 30 commentary on the elaborate formula for drafting collegiate prospects but I’m going to ruin the illusion for you they just say that because it’s socially acceptable and has no specific point of criticism when draft day rolls around, teams still target players at the positions of most positional value relative to their needs sorry to ruin the experience for you

lol there was no cam Newton in cam Newton’s class

idk if it mattered, rhule wanted a veteran to save his job the mayfield trade was always dumb regardless of the cost. with corral playing you could evaluate in what was always going to be a down season. if he played well, great, if he played poorly, then as a mid round rookie he would likely play very poorly and would secure a top pick. instead he got no work during camp, looked completely unprepared the moment he hit the field and was ultimately hurt behind the 3rd string offensive line. His chance with the panthers more or less ended when they decided to give rhule his one last chance. Hope the guy gets another opportunity elsewhere.

who cares you don’t conduct drafts based on “BPA” that’s generic Internet forum talk for people who gobble down NFLisms and think that by repeating them outward they project themselves as intellectuals ”BPA” is the assignment of value relative to need it always is, for every team. An undersized Defensive end isnt jumpstarting the panthers offense and making them super bowl contenders the team has seen first hand how hard it is to get a top 3 pick. If they end up with one, they’re going to take a QB. join us back in reality land.

they aren’t going to pass on a star QB prospect because they have some skinny 3rd rounder hanging around corrals chance of being the panthers QB cratered to near-nil the exact moment the mayfield trade processed

then why did you pretend like you were making an intellect-based contribution to the dialogue

“I was there. When it happened. I was there when Goodell told clete Blakeman “Manning is going out on top. See to it.”

shut up and consume product

Idk if he has dirt that could ruin the nfl I’m kinda in his corner let’s hear it Dan

if you had told me coming into the season that Ben mcadoo would have giovanni Ricci and ian Thomas as the focal point of the offense I would’ve believed you

probably like the makings of a 3-13 ball club

“Cam can’t have my number”

they’re not taking a QB, they JUST used a 2nd on clausen they need to fortify those hog Molly boys and get some trenches and #beef #meat #toughness and take a safe sure thing Alabama defensive lineman like that dareus kid

Bingo

Ah the status quo

lol for what

Davante adams is a punk coward

so he’s going to commit to yet another head coach without the input of a GM? i don’t think you’re correct in your reads of this situation

where is the neg rep button

I was gonna say mccaffrey is a nice piece for a rookie QB but ensuring we get the number one pick actually kind of sells me on trading mcaffrey Top of the draft is too competitive

thanks I know how the process works, the point is that the panthers aren’t going to do nothing just because other teams are doing something also lol at just adding random teams the bengals?
