Detroit Lions — The draft starts at No. 3 overall. Sources around the league are projecting the Lions to look heavily at Jeff Okudah (CB, Ohio State) and Derrick Brown (DL, Auburn) but also point to the team being a strong trade-back spot for teams like the Dolphins, Chargers and Panthers, who could be trying to come up for a quarterback.

 

Carolina Panthers — Quarterback is seen as a big need here, but hiring a head coach has to come first. Whoever is holding that title will have major say in the team's draft direction. Other areas of need the staff sees are offensive tackle and interior defensive line. The Panthers are in a good position to select a tackle on the offensive or defensive line if they don't zero in on a quarterback

We won't REALLY know if QB is a need until they reach a conclusion on Cam's health. In the worst case scenario (he's not healthy), I still wouldn't want Herbert at 7 in this draft.

I'd be on board.

If the Panthers' pick at #7 is anything other than OT or DT, something has gone horribly wrong.

Have our choice between Andrew Thomas and Derrick Brown seems like an ideal situation.

Would Rivera be willing to make a trade with Carolina so we can get Chase Young or Joe Burrow

For some reason I'm getting this vibe that someone wants us to take Tua...
