The Athletic: Explaining the trade and what it means for Carolina

[panthers55]

Baylor played against Grier while Rhule was coach and put up huge numbers. I think he is the backup. I don't know they think Herbert is such an upgrade unless guys like Brown, Kinlaw, Okudah, and Simmons are all gone and of course Taylor and Burrow go 1 and 2.  That would leave Tua and Herbert as the top picks at QB . I think we go defense at 7 with one of the guys above. Everyone of them could be a game changer right away.

I wanted Andrew Thomas, so that dream is over.  Hurney is decent at drafting we just need someone else to do the signings and trades because we got screwed here.

Nothing would shock me but hey at least it will make for an interesting offseason. I still think they go Simmons/Brown/Okudah/Kinlaw at #7 or trade down 

If one of them is still on the board and we trade down I will be pissed. Each of them are potential impact players immediately. It is hard to pick between them. I want all four. But if we don't keep Bradberry, then Okudah is an imperative. Hands down the shutdown corner you need in this league.  I just hope he doesn't get abused for 3 years before he pays off.

It definitely seems like we are goijg heavy defense. I hope we do pick up a C/G in round 2 or 3

Now that LT has been addressed I'm okay with going D at 7, but also hoping for that C/G in 2 or 3 and also one of those WR's in 3 or 4.

Keep in mind that Joe Brady's, the majority of the time, only 5 O-lineman block on pass plays. Having a solid LT is crucial, finding an OG is easier to accomplish.

I'm at the point where you could probably just pencil in Derick Brown for our pick.

Isn't that what everybody's already doing?

I’m torn between Brown and Simmons. It will be interesting though if Okudah falls to us.

He is dropping in rankings after a "bad" combine

I don't think you take a guy like Simmons with our needs up front.  You need a guy who is as close as possible to a guarantee to plug in as an every down player on our D Line.  Brown fits that bill, Simmons does not.  Brown looks an awful lot like a Star Lotulelei type player.  His measurables are VERY similar.  Our biggest weakness last year was run defense, and this guy is a mountain.

I don't think he will make it to us.

Yeah.. After that 4.39 and him being that weight and height.. It confirmed everybody's tape... Its like having a bigger faster Honeybadger you can line up anywhere and be a problem... Every defensive coordinator in league had a swoon moment watching him.. He isn't making it to us.. It could push Okulad to us thoe...
