I mean, the reality is that the Panthers have basically only drafted three good WRs - Moose, Smitty, and DJ Moore. KB was on the way but that double whammy of tearing his ACL and loosing his mom derailed him. But then again, we've only drafted three 1st round WRs and never drafted a WR higher than #24.

But no OL. And no run D.

Truth. I'd love to have one but I also understand that great receivers seem to be a lot more valuable in fantasy football than in reality.

I mean, we did just have the worst scoring defense in NFL history. If there was a Jamarr Chase or Justin Jefferson type prospect I'd be pounding the table for him. I like T-Mac and wouldn't be mad about drafting him but I'm not going to pretend that we don't have at least equal needs on the defensive side of the ball.

I saw that and was like "who dafuq is Trey McBride?" 6 career TDs??? Highest paid TE ever??? LOLOLOL

The Pats' turned a 6th round pick into a 5th and a 7th. I guess that's a winning move.

I don't think we're going to get that type of offer. I'd also be leery of moving THAT far back. If we're moving back I'd still want to stay in the top 15 or so. We earned the #8 pick because we were trash. A few meaningless late season wins aside we honestly should've been drafting significantly higher where we would have significantly better options hence why I didn't want those wins.

He's the biggest wild card in the draft by far. I suspect evaluations swing wildly because his physical talent is pretty marginal and you have to watch him play on the college field and ask yourself "does this translate to the NFL?" If I'm being honest, I don't see it. I see the classic "really good college player who doesn't translate to the NFL". I basically see a poor man's Johnny Manziel. He is better than Manziel was when he's on schedule but just like Manziel a lot of his game relied on running around, buying time, and relying on his all-world talent at WR to bail him out and does that translate to the NFL with his physical skill set? I don't think it does. Everyone is looking for the next Mahomes but so far Mahomes is pretty much a unicorn on making that approach work in the NFL. I guess I'll give you Russell Wilson in his prime too but those guys both have (had) elite arm talent that Sanders simply doesn't have. Then you have the daddy factor massive wild card. Deion definitely has all the potential to turn into the NFL version of Lavar Ball and that has to be factored in, so you better LOVE the prospect and I'm just not seeing it.

I would imagine that an organization like the Steelers would want to stay far away from a circus like Sanders would likely bring to town. I could see them taking a shot on Jaxson Dart though.

The Pats' OL was dreadful last year and they spent heavily on D in free agency. They really should take the #1 OT at #4.

Wouldn't surprise me. Turn on a UGA game and just see who jumps off the screen on defense.

I voted Jalen Walker because I think the trade back options won't be very appealing. I don't want to move back just for the sake of it if there isn't good return.

Yeah, good teams occasionally land studs in the 6th round. Most are duds though that wash out of the league. It is what it is. That's expected in the 6th round. Our problem is that's the story of our 2nd round draft history.

Yep. Everyone keeps talking about how we need more speed at receiver but what we actually need are receivers at receiver. We've drafted a bunch of high caliber athletes planning on making receivers out of them but we lack polished receivers outside of Thielen.

What position do the Panthers historically not suck at drafting in the 2nd round? Our 2nd round draft history looks like good teams' 6th round draft history.
