Guys that are falling or have been falling

 

R Gregory

J Collins

L Collins (safety)

J Strong (injury)

 

 

Guys that have been rising

 

P Dorsett

B Dupree

D Randell

T Gurley

 

 

Any riser from the second round could be in play for us, the same as a faller from the top half.

 

With speed and playmaker at the top of Gmans want list, I would think P Dorsett and D Randell would be the wildcard candidates for us in the risers and fallers.  I also think a wildcard in the second would be Maxx Williams.  Olsen and Williams on the field at the same time would be fun to watch.

 

I really don't look for a big man till a bit later.

 

What are your "I had not thought of him" picks for the first 2 rounds

Rising and falling in the media doesn't mean much of anything.

This. It actually means next to zero. The last week before the draft is always speculation being fed by scouts/team officials, hoping to get someone to drop.

Devin Smith is my guy at 25. Thats assuming cooper and parker are gone, which they should be. DGB is also my guy, but there's no way JR would allow that so I'll go with Smith. That being said, I'll honestly be fine with whoever they decide on.

The concept of guys 'rising' and 'falling' is an illusion. To think pro scouts will move someone up or down a draft board a week before the draft is crazy. All this rising and falling talk is the media catching up to the reality of where guys are supposed to be. Aside from the occasional reach, guys are going to get drafted where they are supposed to.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
