NFL execs: it’s going to take 3 first rounders at least for DeShaun Watson.

Just a 'best case' scenario here for us on an upward trajectory...

Pick #8 in 2021 - CMC level

Pick #24 in 2022 - Shaq level

Pick #28 in 2023 - Vernon Butler level

 

If you wouldn't trade those 3 players for a Top 5 franchise QB, welp.  And yes, we could draft HOF unicorns with all 3 of those firsts, just like we could draft Ryan Leaf level busts for the next 3 drafts.  If the price is 3 1st rounders and that's it, no brainer call it in.  If it's 3 firsts AND players, then it's a potential issue.

That's an interesting take but you also have to consider that you cannot predict where those other 2 first's will fall.  They could just as easily be CMC level as easily as they could be Vernon level.

You could also draft a Pro bowl level QB anywhere in the draft or even an UDFA.  It's a crapshoot.

This is a losers bet by going all in on one player.

Any conversation that includes vernon Butler as part of a "best case scenario" is flawed.  Great players can be picked anywhere in the draft.  Having a pick between 25 and 32 does not equate to lesser talent.  It often does mean lesser positional value.  Devil's advocate scenerio.

Pick 8 in 2021.  Shutdown corner or gamebreaking new breed MLB that replaces luke.  I.e. Surtain or Parsons.

Pick 19 in 2022.  A left tackle or wr overlooked that becomes class of draft like wirfs or Justin Jefferson this past year.

Pick 28 in 2023.  Overlooked and underappreciated QB slips in draft and turns out to be MVP type.  Like Lamar Jackson.  

Just saying.  Yeah I get it watson is a winning lottery ticket but what if your trading a one time payoff for three winners that could result in a Dynasty.

I put some used underwear on facebook marketplace for 10 bucks a pair knowing good and well they would eventually sell for 6

This is why I love capitalism.  An exchange between willing buyers and sellers  sets the free market price for used underwear at $6.  No price supports, no production caps or quotas.  Well done, Jeremy, we’ll done.  [Polite golf clap 👏]

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
