Pretty confident in saying most scouting departments have ballpark grades on a lot of the guys a year out.

Not sure if that is really a huge tactical advantage.  Predicting what any team does on draft night is impossible, draft night is so fluid, one move ahead of you can have a trickle down affect that changes your entire draft.  Maybe if they were picking one spot ahead of us he could make an educated guess on what they would do but not a huge deal with respective draft positions.

He will have some insight on the type of players they value, but honestly Schneider and Carroll have been there so long most teams probably already know that.  I want to say they value SPARQ alot, could be wrong.

Maybe one of his previous scouts had been talking about some small school "gem", but even that is rare.  Very few good players really fall through the scouting cracks.

Each person should have a rough idea of eachs plan. No one that I know of has made their 180 player big board. I mean its not a secret about what carolinas needs are, even a normie fan knows.  

I do worry some about current panther scouts/executives making contact with Herniay, once Fitterrereer starts forming his plan/strategy/targets/big board. Burner phones are cheap and with just a little smarts its hard to control this. Herniay could have already promised money/jobs to them. Then it becomes a trust issue, cause some new GM will not allow current staff to see/know the plan/strategy/targets/big board. They think "fug this guy/team, they dont trust me, I need another job!" "Im not going to work hard or give honest report on players, cause they are not going to re-new my contract". Frittererererer has to figure that and I bet he wants to hire some new people after the draft too, good luck...

      Trading Down Could be a Gold Mine in This Draft!!

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      This is why it's probably going to be hard to trade down. This draft is fairly light on top tier talent but pretty deep in talent of that next tier down. I don't think there's going to be a lot of teams clamoring to move up and numerous teams might be entertaining moving down. Not a good market to trade down if that's the case.

      And if they can't find a reasonable trade down (I think we would need a 2nd rounder this year bare minimum to make any trade down worth it). I would definitely expect Dan to trade UP for an EDGE or LB in the top half of R2. Just makes too much sense. We also have a plethora of mid round picks to use as ammo.

      I don't mean to make this a mock draft thread particularly,  but every time I do a mock I have been investigating the talent that goes off the board between picks 8 and our low 2nd rounder pick 57. There is a gargantuan amount of talent still left on the board in the top half of the 2nd round every time I do one. Losing our original 2nd round pick to the Bears as the last pick of the Bryce trade stings badly .  I'm particularly looking at elite players like Carson Schwesinger (LB), Luther Burden (WR), Matthew Golden (WR), Maxwell Hairston (CB) , Nick Scourton , Landon Jackson, Donavan Ezeraku (all DEs/OLBs) . The sweet spot in this draft really feels like pick 15 to 40 - ish. This is why the Bears should be making bank with this draft. I don't know how realistic a trade down is from 8, but if we could pick up any teams higher 2nd rounder and still grab their 1st? We'd be cooking with gas man.  Say for example we get Tet McMillan at pick 8, if you wait all the way to 57 you stand the chance of not getting any impact pass rushers in this draft. And I don't think this team can afford that.  I'd personally love for them to take a break from drafting wrs in R1 or R2 (i think we've taken one in the top 2 rounds in the majority of the past few years), and stick to repairing the nfls worse defense in history (in terms of total points against iirc, or was it yards? Also included my most recent mock as an example . Don't put too much into the  late round selections lol
