Benjamin Allbright all but guaranteed that we're taking McCaffrey

This is just starting to sound like the same white people who were guaranteeing us that Hilary Clinton was going to win the election. 

Typically they do this to a white QB... but now it sounds like Christian McCaffrey is the guy this year. Dont get me wrong... Christian could very well be great. But this is just getting ridiculous.

What does whiteness have to do with anything in this context?

My theory: Fournette is #1 on the big board. McCaffrey #2. If LF drops to 8, we pick him. We also try to trade up for him if possible. If not, and he doesn't fall, CM is the pick at 8.

If someone wants to offer a valuable deal for #8, we trade down and target Ross, and then BPA the rest of the way.

To those saying "smokescreen" - is there any evidence that Dave or Ron have smokescreened the draft previously?

I'd say if anything they are usually pretty transparent.

yeah we've been fairly straightforward, but I think it depends pretty significantly on other teams this year.

 

The market to move up top 3 seems pretty thin. Could they do that? The market to jump us is pretty heavy for players we want, will somebody try?

 

this may be good, deep draft, but there is a definite gap between the blue chip and red chip players and it looks fairly cutthroat in the race for the top guys. 

I think the names were lo led to are true, its just a matter of whose there and what other teams (or us) do.

I think Jamal Adams is the real play but McCaffrey and Fournette are both smoke screens.

Guess we will all know in a week.

Exactly what I was thinking if this is true...

Garrett, LF, CMC, and 2 QBs off the board if rumors are true about Bears and Jets/Browns...So that leaves us looking at Adams, Thomas, Howard maybe.

Panthers are picking a runningback first. 3 elite level (performance)guys will be available. The talent level of Dalvin Cook may put him right back were he was supposed to be. He was a top ten guy on most bigboards before the chatter, second only to Fournette. As the smoke clears and haters try to swipe any RB that they know we may covet just to try to stick it to us(ie N.O. Snatching Cooks), we now know that if these busters try to snatch Fournette AND CMc with a little forgiveness before hand and being a bearer of second chances we may yet land an elite RB ( performer ) to take the load off Cam. No worries. Panthers will get their runningback this draft. A damn good one.

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      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

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

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
