Teams like the Chiefs can reach for project players because they have the depth and and team infrastructure to allow a kid to grow for a couple of seasons. WE DO NOT HAVE THAT LUXURY. This team needs as many immediate contributors as possible. So taking this dude over McConkey would be absolutely retarded. That said, it probably will happen.

I just posted this yesterday. My cynical side was showing when I made this, saying 'prove to me this is a NEW thinking Panthers front office' and until then we will continue to stupid sh*t in the draft.

It looks like some other team is going to have to save us from ourselves...again. Hopefully, the brass did this as a smokescreen knowing dude would blab about where he thinks he's getting picked and our real intention is still there if Legette gets picked before #33. Doubtful. That's too much work to set up an elaborate hoax.

Lol! This would be the most Panthers move ever. New faces, same dumpster fire.

I forgot to add who I think that we will take (can't edit my post). Now, this is the negative side of me based on the history of this franchise. #33 Legette #39 Sainristil #65 Brooks/Benson

That's cool. However, some...several actually, of the picks by this organization I did not like leading up to the draft in the past ended up proving me right. TMJ, DJ Johnson and Mingo are recent examples I can point to. I can elaborate more on players further back if you'd like.

Option 1 at #33: Trade back Targets for #33 that may fall: McKinstry, JPJ, Mitchell Targets for #33 at value or slight reach: McConkey, Franklin, Rakestraw Targets for #39: Fiske, Wilson, Lassiter, Pearsall, Frazier Targets for #65: Braswell, Tampa, Polk Jenkins, Sainristil, Corley, Melton, Elliss As you can see, my list gets more extensive as the draft goes on. I realize most of these guys will be off the board. However, I see a ton of value from the second round to about a quarter of the way through the 3rd. That is exactly why trading back some is completely okay with me.

Good take on Legette. They love the athleticism, but he still has a lot to do left in his game. Yes, the Mingo comparison came up here as well. They show a chart at some point that actually makes me more and more a Pearsall fan. Man, I'm tempted to sang him at #39.

If he's there at #65 I'd be okay with taking a swing, but as a top 40 pick, he's got a lot of refining left to do. Put like this, on any other team besides Michigan, he's an early day 3 pick.

Caught napping here. Beat inside here for the PI A few plays later, beat for a TD with extremely lazy technique. All this is from the same drive!

Yup, you nailed it. The best defense in the country, so he had the luxury of relentless front 7 pressure. Michigan's stout D-line allowed him to bait QBs with off coverage looks. That won't happen in the NFL and he's actually going to have to cover. He's got really bad tackling technique too. So no, I'm not a fan. At #65? Sure, but stay away in the second round. He reminds me of Ricky Manning Jr. Yes, he''l jump some routes for a pick here and there, but left an island to cover more than a few seconds...he's gonna get burned more time than not.

My stab at it.

It's not so much the position of CB as it has to do with the dude isn't that good. We need a corner, but at #33 and especially for a player that's very much a work in progress (converted WR). It's beyond mind-numbing to even ponder this as a realistic possibility.

If this is true, then I've already about to give up on Morgan. Hopefully this is some sort of smoke screen. This would be a HORRIBLE pick at #33.

He has a show in the upstate weekdays from 4pm-6pm on Fox Sports radio called 'Game On'. I tune in sometimes. You can search it if you don't live locally.

You've seen my mocks. I'm taking a RB with the 4th and a TE in the 5th at the earliest, if at all. I'm firmly in the Estime and Allen camp for RBs and Wiley and Holker camp for TEs.

Please. I'd take either him or Allen, but prefer Estime. Audric has a little more 'wiggle' in his game Allen.

He's raw at corner ant that is NOT what we need at #33.

I like one or the other in the pairings, but the Walter football, I dislike both. Smith-Wade in the 2nd round is a joke. He's routinely mocked as a day 3 guy.

I've been looking at Cephus for a while. All dude did was put up numbers. I guess being at UTSA he's being overlooked. I have mocked him some late day 3 depending if I failed to get a second WR prior to that. Not a bad flyer pick if he's still on the board with that #240.

Traded back twice. First with the Rams; swapped second rounders and picked up a 3rd and 6th. Then traded back a little more in the second with Cleveland get a second in 2025 (which we lack). Still had a very solid draft.

Like the trade, but meh on the players with those picks. I don't like the Sainristil pick at all. Nothing against Stinnott, but we should not be taking a TE that high. I don't think Braswell will make it to #65. I like the Ladd pick.

Solid. I'd be pretty stoked. I would have taken the top remaining QB at #240 though. That way we don't have to worry about that guy getting away as a priority UFA to another team when the draft is over. We are good at safety as well.

It appears these draft websites haven't caught the Cuba Hubbard fever some on this board have. Personally I think hes' a solid RB2, but not a #1, and most of the pundits seem to agree. Sanders is an afterthought. I'll take his contract and be an afterthought too. Poor guy.

Take out Benson at #39 and Rattler at #101 and it's not THAT bad. Those two picks make it seem horrible. Plug in Legette at #39 and Stinnott at #101, then it doesn't look too shabby.
