We traded up for Little. And while Hurney may be a moron, there are other morons who make stupid decisions every year. Someone will trade up for whoever they want and are afraid someone is gonna snatch before they can get them. Again, it literally happens every year. Hell, it could be Mac Jones. It could be Slater. It could be Pitts. It could literally be anyone who is projected to go in the first round. 

What would a team be willing to give up for one of those guys though? I dont want to get fleeced in a trade because  "more players". You are talking about #2 guys and secondary positions.

I don't want to trade back to 12-15 and only pick up a extra 2nd or 3rd in the process

I’d do it for a 2nd probably not a 3rd

 

if all qbs chase Sewell and Pitts are gone

Extra picks. I trust our team. If they think we can get more value out of the trade than we can picking one player, then we'll take the trade. If there's someone there we really want, we won't. I'd prefer to trade back because I think we can build a solid OL and gather some solid backups with this year's picks, but that's just me. I'm at the point where I'd rather have 2 decent starting OL than one spectacular TE or WR.

I dont want a WR or TE early in the draft anyway.

The problem with decent OL is how decent are they? Atlanta went that same route and got 2 decent OL in the 1st round and they both turned out to be not so decent, their line was worse than ours last year.

If we cant get a QB and nobody blows us away with a trade offer, we have to take Slater or whoever we think is the best OT.

I don't disagree. If we trade back, I'd like to see us pick up an extra 2nd or 3rd. Again, I'm not a fan of Slater as an OT. I think Darrisaw is OT #2. I think we could possibly trade back and snag him. If not, we could grab Mayfield in the 2nd. If not him, Eichenberg.

As far as taking "decent" OL that turn out not so decent, that's a gamble with every single pick in this draft...including those rated as first-rounders. It's literally a guarantee that several first-rounders will be busts. Again, happens every year. At some point, you have to trust your scouting dept. They did well last year, let's see if that was a fluke or not.

      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.
