Don't love it. Don't hate it. Don't see the need for it though. When you're going on a decade of being poo, I guess it doesn't matter too much anymore.

Ewer would be a wasted pick on this team at this point. So, with that in mind, I'd put it at coinflip chances that it happens.

There has been very little in the way of surprises with the team in a good while. Walker is the pick.

If we stay at 8, and Walker is there, he is the pick.

Cousins will take some work to get a deal done, but it's not completely impossible.

Absolute fuging horror show. No wonder we are terrible.

I don't think there is a buyer, and maybe not at a price that would be too good to turn down.

Yeah, we actually got quite a haul for CMC. It's just that we squandered 100% of the resources we received in return.

We would've done the same with a 1st round pick for him, if that's what we had gotten. Same with the rumored 2 firsts for Burns. I am confident we would've found some way to waste it on stupid poo. It's what we do.

The trade up to #1 was bad on so many levels. Maybe the trade into the first last year. Not making the Burns trade and then the trade they ended up making looks bad in comparison but not stand alone. The CMC trade could be up there but that one was complex given the Panthers situation at that time.

Regarding the CMC deal, I think what is most bothersome is we essentially got pennies on the dollar for a premium player.

I realize that there is some cold comfort in the Mingo business, and getting something in return for Anderson and Johnson but those 3 players are also examples of some high level dysfunction and failure in the organization.

Worst trades ever. In case you are wondering, yes, it makes the list. 

It is not the only ranked trade we are involved in either.

Nah, it will be more of a Panthers thing to be dismayed and entertained watching him do his version of the Ickey Shuffle out at left tackle for a while longer, sign him to a stupid value 2nd contract, or just let him walk and have nothing at left tackle and be over a barrel and take whatever turnstile we can find on the open market.

I wouldn't read much into that.

Star-studded qb class to be certain. What position did young Mr. Simms play again? I forget. 

He's the pick if we stay at 8 and he is still on the board.

I'm not as down on XL as many of you are.  He got open alot and showed toughness.  He deserves another season before writing him off

Of course he does. I am very hopeful. I am hoping he doesn't lead the league in drops and talking funny.

Whether it has merit or not, doesn't matter. The Panthers are not drafting a tackle at #8. They will take the lazy do-nothing guy from Texas A+M before they take a tackle at 8.

We already have a replacement right tackle to take over for Moton. He is somewhat playing as the current left tackle.

Update- more insight..... its fugly. It seems carr mainly came for Dennis Allen, then he was fired and the saints wanted to try to avoid paying the past can kicking one more year. They didn't ask Carr about if he wanted to stay, just did a new deal. Carr's shoulder flared up right after.

Seems they should have cut him, just a move that will haunt them for years.....just LOL

I am little shocked and not entirely convinced that any player would allow their career to be determined by Dennis Allen. He has little credibility and zero accomplishments in the NFL.

I agree and he is certainly not ready to start right out of the gate, but people are talking about Milroe in the first round. That Saints' story is going to make teams that want a qb start to sweat. 

I watched every Ole Miss game this last year and i was never convinced Dart will be a productive starter in the NFL. Minshew might be a good comp.

He reminds me a little of Jake Locker. He does have some physical skills, and a little mobility. Locker I think made it a couple of years. I sort of expect the same from Dart.

Thats hilarious

Dart at 9 is ridiculous in my opinion. He was helped immensely by the Kiffen system. Seems like a bunch of the commenters do not expect him to make it past the 1st round though.

Saintsreport are convinced they are taking Dart at 9.

In this scenario, a team wanting a QB becomes an opportunity to trade down if the opportunity is there and compensation good enough 

My justification is simple, I have seen several tier rankings of the DEs. After the top 2 or 3, well. The depth is good

If no trade back then and staying at 8 

1. Take BPA regardless of position and in this case OT trumps WRs…learn from Philly  build that line  and  Moton  isnt getting any younger 

2 or defense is the focus, the line would  be great but, best cornerback available, and CB trumps most other Def positions

let’s face it, Horn does have his history

….and i dont know about you all, but im sick of seeing Evans running through the secondary like Secretariat in the Belmont Stakes 

If it came right down to brass tacks and this was the scenario, I would prefer to go with the LT. Not only because I tend to agree that if you can build dominating lines, it allows the team to operate. I also think that it is a very Panthers thing to have a LT that has a weakness in pass blocking, but we just hope with all our being that he gets better. We could play him at a strength instead of tolerating a weakness.

This is the least likely thing to happen in the Panthers draft, and I would instead expect to say "Hello, Mykel!"

Well, apparently not everyone

Pretty sure there were some calls for us to take him first overall.

There are always a couple. But even they probably knew he wasn't ready to play day 1.

Assuming this is the way the draft goes and we can't trade down, who do we take at this point? 

If it goes like this, hopefully they are taking the other Georgia player, Mykel, Warren or the best pass blocking tackle.

Speaking of quarterbacks...

Wondered If perhaps he also talked about Bryce but given the source I wouldn't necessarily bet on it.

Water is wet. Everyone knew he was not ready to play. It was entirely a gamble on potential.

You aren't going to ever get him out of the equation. As he has stated previously, he believes it his right to make the final call on decisions.
