- Panthers are not enthralled with QB’s Trey Lance or Mac Jones - are intrigued by Fields but could just be a smokescreen and isn’t sure there is real interest - The team really likes CB’s Jayce Horn and Patrick Surtain and both would be targeted IF Panthers trade down

Very nice work this would be a nice draft for us. However I believe 2 out of the first 3 rounds (possibly 3/3) will be players from the offensive side of the team.

Well that’s the end of his career

yes!!

Terrific athlete but not a great QB prospect

Powers Boothe

how exciting

DAQUAN JONESDL, CAROLINA PANTHERS Panthers signed DL DaQuan Jones, formerly of the Titans, to a one-year, $4.05 million contract. Jones heads to Carolina after seven seasons with the Titans, where he proved durable as a run stuffer, starting every game over the past three seasons. Pro Football Focus graded Jones as the 35th best defensive lineman in 2020, when he recorded three sacks and was 16th among defensive linemen with 33 tackles. He'll be an upgrade for a Tennessee defensive line graded by PFF in 2020 as the league's 17th best rush defense and third worst pass rush.

RASHAWN SLATERT, COLLEGE PLAYER ESPN's Dan Orlovsky sees the Lions doing "whatever they can to impact the bigs on either side" in the first round of the draft. Orlovsky is simply speculating but he does have experience with many of the decision-makers within Detroit. He played with HC Dan Campbell in Detroit, who was a tight end for the team from 2006 to 2008. Orlovsky also spent the summer of 2017 with the Rams. Lions GM Brad Holmes was the Director of College Scouting for LA at the time. The Lions hold pick No. 7 and that leaves them in an awkward spot for either side of the line. Northwestern OT Rashawn Slater could be in play for Detroit if Oregon OT Penei Sewell is off the board. The Lions are thin at a number of position groups so "best player available" should be their approach even if Campbell and Holmes want to add some talent to the trenches.

SCOTT FITTERERGM, CAROLINA PANTHERS ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Panthers "have had conversations with other teams about potentially trading back in the draft from pick No. 8." As it currently stands, the market for trading back looks to be more robust than the demand for high picks. Miami is also reported to be exploring a trade back from the No. 6 pick. Both teams are likely anticipating that one of the top quarterbacks will slide, prompting a QB-needy team to move up. The Panthers have a slew of holes to fill so a trade that nets them extra bullets at starting-caliber players makes sense. Denver and New England both have talented rosters sans a quarterback. Those are the two teams rookie GM Scott Fitterer is likely to be enticing with trade offers leading up to draft night.

yay

love your thread title

Replacement and substantial upgrade Fitterer was patient and it paid off
