Panthers Draft Position (How High Can We Go?)

[saX man]

Taking a look at just how high of a draft pick the Carolina Panthers can get by losing out.  

Who's out of reach: #1-4 (Redskins, Giants, Bengals, Dolphins)

• Falcons have the Bucs and Jags upcoming. Have a higher SOS.
• Browns won today (6-7)
• Broncos won today (5-8)
• One of the Chargers/Jags will be 5-8
• Jags play Falcons and Raiders upcoming so those teams will all offset/give us a chance to shift ahead
• Lions play the Bucs and Broncos upcoming more of the offset action; they'll be hard to catch
• Cardinals may win. C'mon boys.  They have winnable games against the Browns and Rams as well. 

So realistically, losing out (not intentionally of course ) Can get the Carolina Panthers all the way up to pick 6.  

I find that super super interesting given the top talent in this draft at OT, QB, & WR

Who would you target at Pick 6-8ish?

Sorry, but in typical Panthers fashion, we will win a meaningless week 17 game that will drop us to the middle of the draft.

pick 6....the jokes write themselves

Lose out. Trade down and stock pile picks. Thats how sf rebuilt quickly.  New England does it as well.

The Saints losing may force them to fight for a bye if the Packers and Seahawks or 49ers are still rolling.

Also, with Washington and Scott calling things, it could be rough waters ahead against freaking Seattle and Indy haha.  Russell Wilson will be going ham next week.

I think entirely in the range for:

Tua

Jerry Jeudy (*Mouth watering)

AJ Espenesa or Derrick Brown on the DL

A top offensive tackle (I won't act like I know them but the Bama and Iowa kids are legit)

--

Any of these would be tremendous potential adds.

There is no player worth taking after 3 or so that isn't worth trading down for more picks.  The problem is, that becomes useless if Hurney is still making the picks.

Jeudy wont be there

 

But at 9

Here's realistically guys I want in order

Derrick Brown

Jedrick wills

Tyler BIadasz

Javon Kinlaw

AJ Epenesa 

 

Would be hard to pass on those guy, but if CeeDee Lamb is available.  Would need to take a hard look at him, and would be hard to pass on him.

And If Justin Herbert falls to 9 you may go ahead and take him.

 

 

 

Best option for us

Interior DL and OL (no order on which first.  Go OL in 1 you go DL 2 and vice versa) rounds 1-2 

 

WR in 3, this is the Strongest and Deepest WR crop looking to come out in a long time.  There will be a starting calibre guy(s) around in rd 3.

[BurnHurnBurn]

Top-10 would be a mediocre reward at the end of a less than mediocre season. 

It just screams Panthers.

There's some who are starting to sour on Herbert but if one of him or Tua are available for some reason, it would be silly to not take the shot.  The value at hitting with a QB is insanely high.  Way higher than anything else.  I know people want OT but there are other avenues to get linemen.  You kind of have to go with what presents itself and think long and hard about the future.   I think Cam can have 3-4 more pro-bowl level years but there's just so many unknowns including what Tepper & Co. see this offseason.

Yeah that would be nice and all if hurney could actually make good picks after the first. 

[mc52beast]

Y’all worry about the draft, I’m trying to figure out how to get rid of Hurney..

Saints losing will help as they will most likely have to play week 17 to get a first round bye.  The problem is that Carolina has the Seahawks and saints left which is going to work against them as they will have a stronger strength of schedule comparatively.
