CRA

Think only 2 got invited. Willis and Corral

Another Otah? Otah was a beast of man. But the body said no. And people hate Otah for listening. But he was a homerun on the talent aspect of the pick.

I won’t complain if they draft Neal.

Still a little worried we trade future picks to get more involved in this draft. Rhule and Tepper actually have a lot in common right now. Agree or disagree with it but neither are popular figures right now overall in the Carolinas. And they aren’t equipped to add much excitement to the mix given such few picks currently.

Can’t think of one I have been less interested in. part of that is we have only have 1 pick in the first 3 rounds. Which are the fewest we have ever had in the top 3 rounds. And despite having a top pick their is no player to get at 6 to bring any hype. And we are in the worst window in franchise history since Tepper took over.

no snark. just putting it out there that wanting to see how he looked at RT might be somewhat in the ballpark as Gross. Giants might have a decent LT and a starting the rookie at RT before taking over could be a smart big picture play. So like Gross he could be drafted to play RT for a year knowing they hope for him to be their LT answer in the long run.

I also think in the world of super freak pass rushers that can move....LT and RT aren't as far apart as they use to be in terms of importance. LT still the most important though

best LT in Panther history started his career at RT. Wonder who is playing LT presently in NY. Could just be a short term thing to have the best guys on the field for the season and moving him after that.

it's Kenny Pickett followed by all Baylor guys. I mean, I don't know what to call that. Completely made up jibberish or the most accurate prediction ever made here. *but no, it didn't really leak.

Rhule's draft board just leaked and who he is targeting 1 - Kenny Pickett -QB 4- Kalon Barnes - CB 5 - Terrel Bernard - OLB 5 -JT Woods - S 6 - Thor Rodoni - LS 7 - Xavier Newman Johnson - G

Not at #6. Not when you just own the #6 pick and your next is a 4th rounder. if we had been accumulating draft captial like a rebuilding team should. Then yeah, we should find a way to add QB talent. But still not at #6.

There are people here who want an OT at #6 because this is an OT draft.....and we haven't had a decent OL in a long time. Which is the key cog along w/ QB to have offense in the NFL.

again, it just did. Justin Fields was his name. The guy who was largely viewed as 1b to Trevor the last 2 years of college football leading up to the draft. He outplayed Trevor the two times he shared the field with him. He fell to us at #8. The scenario you mentioned happened. The whole point is you can't say it can't happen. What can't happen is to have clowns like Matt Rhule in charge when the opportunities do occur. Because you miss them with clowns in charge. Who sell you crazy math like worst QB in the NFL + CB prospect > drafting Fields LOL. Just as insane today as it was then.

Trevor is a rare duck. You see one of those about once a decade. Almost not worth talking about that tier prospect. Remove Trevor from last year's class and it was still a QB draft. This one isn't. again, the storm you just referenced happened. Which was the point of bringing it up. Never happen, just happened. We failed to captialize on the opportunity. But it happened. The fact Matt Rhule paid a bunch of draft captial for the worst starting QB in the NFL had a lot to do with folks thinking about doing something different. And the national converation at that moment the Sam deal was made was that all the QBs might be gone by the time Carolina drafted. But a very healthy percentage still wanted Fields despite that dumb move by Rhule when he fell to us.

you said something was never going to happen....that literally just happened in the last draft. me being a Clemson doesn't mean diddly when it comes to the pros. I generally advocate against a lot of Clemson players in terms of them panning out. I wanted Gilmore over Jackson and Wharton is one of my favorites of all time. And I have always argued you could claim Captain Munnerlyn was one of the best draft picks we ever made (all things factored). But yeah, Justin Fields was the correct pick. It's not hard. Matt Rhule just fugs things up. If you are rebuilding with no OL and QB and can't stop the run.....you don't draft a DB. No matter how good he is.

Watson was the best player in college football his during the span of his last 2 seasons in college. It doesn't have to be hard. People make things hard. Watson was in a different tier than Pickett.

I mean the perfect storm literally happened the last draft. and they drafted a CB when Fields fell to them.

Clev is going to cut Baker and Baker is going to be a Steeler.

Maybe we can snag another long snapper

Because his entire career has been on Phil Snow’s back and success. He doesn’t know good offense. The best QB play he has ever seen was PJ Walker

Yeah, another problem is the not keeping the GM/HC in sync. We didn’t need Rhule learning from Marty. Crossing of eras IMO is problematic. and Rhule talks like you suggested. In the same breath he talks about rebuilding he talks about winning now too. Doing both.

I don’t really disagree in theory. I would have preferred when we hired Rhule and the Cam era ended (and Luke walked) we went into draft pick accumulation mode. And started stockpiling draft picks at the cost of certain players on the roster. but we didn’t. I’d rather buy a 10 dollar lotto ticket than a bunch of 1 dollar tickets given where we are. but I really don’t care. Just don’t want a QB in the first. Rather do that in a better QB draft. Last draft was the year for QB IMO. We messed that up too.

If….. 1st round. - Defense 4th round - Defense 5th, 6th and 7th round all offense you would call that an offensive draft. More offense than defense. It wouldn’t be investing in the O with our draft capital. Rhule has used our draft capital to date on our D.
