Panthers will take Brown at #7 unless somehow Chase Young falls as a miracle. Simmons is an outside chance. Okudah won't make it past Detroit.

Panthers will take a QB at #38 only if one of the top 5 QBs is still on the board. Could be Hurts. If not, I think we'll grab Kmet at TE.

Third round will be Hennessy from Temple to shore up O-line and prepare to play center.

You don't trade away top 10 picks when you have as many needs as the Panthers have.  It's that simple.  We need more picks, not less.

BTW - we've also already "drafted" our QB in PJ Walker.

I believe the thinking in the building right now is:  "We have our veteran / game manager in Bridgewater.  We have our high potential guy in PJ Walker.  We even have Grier as a camp arm / potential PS guy.  We don't need another QB."

If they had ANY doubts about that, there is no way they would have traded away Kyle Allen.  For all his faults, KA was a perfectly serviceable backup and short term starter.

Interesting. If we get Simmons does he primarily play Safety with Burris playing nickel? I like Simmons, I just worry about him playing with our terrible defensive line...

Call it now . It's not going to happen !

Simmons without a rebuilt DL will have the impact fixing a busted pipe with a wad of chewing gum.  So naturally this will Hurney's pick if Simmons still on the board.

We are going offense first rd. We can get DT or CB 2nd-3rd Rd. Watch and see

OT?  I can get on board with that under certain circumstances.  WR is so deep we can get one capable of starting in round 3.

Does he come with his own ambulance or is that just another cost of trading up for this guy? If this really did happen it  might actually top the Gilbert debacle as the Panther's worst trade. I want no part of wasting a 1st on injury prone player. 

The only trades I really want to see involve moving back and acquiring draft capital.  We have chased players in the draft recently and lost on those bets. It would be real cool if we stopped doing that.

The surprise QB pick team is Washington.  I am not sure that they have not already started putting the pieces in place to have Allen as a backup QB--could they dangle Haskins in a trade during the draft? 

Detroit is another.

With our two recent acquisitions, I do not see QB this year.

If we go offense in the first round, it will be an OT, not a qb--there are too many OTs there not to consider one.

OT

CB

DE  (this is my surprise--a DE before a DT)

DT

I wouldn't say it won't be QB. So ur saying u trust PJ Walker that's never played in an NFL game or Grier that looked like garbage. I like Teddy but we are worst in backups this year than last year. We will most definitely draft one if the right one we like falls. Also we are not set on wr if u look at system Brady runs and I'm not sold on Samuel. I think it could be WR, QB, CB then OT or DT. We are not drafting Brown and Simmons is just another Jabril Peppers no set position and we don't want the trouble of trying to figure that out

I don't know how anyone can imagine we'll go offense early. But, I've been surprised before. I don't see it though.

Don't be surprised this is a new team and philosophy. What did having a great defense do for is in the first 25 years, no Super Bowls. We didn't bring Brady in here to be mediocre on offense. We are going to be a high powered offense and need more weapons

 To answer your question: No.  I am not saying I am totally sold on the depth at QB.  I said it is more likely, if we draft an offensive player, that it will be an offensive tackle--looking at the talent in the draft and our long-term needs, it is the smart play.   I am not sold on depth anywhere--but something I HAVE said is that people need to stop looking at this draft as a 1-year quick fix.  If you have OL problems and pick in the middle of the best OT crop in years, you---draft a QB to compete with the $60m QB you just signed?  Anything can happen--which is why this is interesting   By the way, you are exactly right--Walker has never played an NFL game--neither has Tua, Burrow, or Herbert.

Simmons is the first round pick, unless something crazy happens.
