That’s one play, brother. And the fact it took you this long to find one tells me you aren’t actually watching the games. 

Yes, because I spent my entire 20+ hours that I wasn't posting on the board looking for one snippet of film.  Good call.

Is he my top choice?  No, but I wouldn't be mad at the pick assuming Fields doesn't fall to us.

My mentality is... QB first unless you don't have a high evaluation of him.  For me this would mean us not taking Lance, but I'll understand if the staff thinks differently (same with Fields, who I do think is worth it in the 1st).

After that, you have OT and DBs.  Sewell and Slater are the top 2 options at OT, obviously.  Surtain would be a good pick too.

Then there is receiver.  I'd be cool with any of the receivers.  I know some think it would be a waste given other needs on the roster, but this receiver class is THAT good to the point where, you know, just getting a HOF-level talent is too much to pass up on.  Chase, Smith, Waddle, and Pitts are big time, freak talents.  I'd probably put Waddle last, and he's still a beast.  

Also I get the concerns about taking a TE in the 1st because I've voiced that here and elsewhere for years, but Pitts ain't like other TEs.  And not in a, oh he's just athletic way (Eric Ebron).  The man is an elite, NBA-level athlete playing a receiver position in the NFL.  He's legit.  And he would literally change the complexion of this offense before our eyes, even with Teddy.  So I don't think you can ever call someone like that a bad pick regardless of perceived "positional value."

So my personal rankings, as of now assuming we stay at #8:

1. Justin Fields / Mac Jones / Trey Lance (Jones and Lance, I'll trust Rhule and Fitterer's evaluation, but Fields is the only guy I would be in full support of us taking)

2. Slater or Sewell

3. Farley or Surtain

4. Pitts, Smith, or Chase

    • Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair. 
    • it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
    • Sounds like a plan. Those are the teams we should be mimicking! lol
