It's a shytty dilemma for us.  Do we wait the Watson legal issues out, even if it means getting him next year.  Do we forego Watson and take one of the QBs available if they happen to fall to 8.  

I think Tepper wants Watson and will wait this issue out. That said I think we'll build the best team we can around whatever QB we put on the field, even if it means Teddy B again.

If Slater or Sewell is  there at 8 I think we can take him.  However, trading down might not be a bad idea either.  

I just hope the draft gets here soon before half this forum has an aneurism.

I dream of the day when I hear the announcers say: “Carolina has one of the best offensive lines in the league.”

if a top LT is there, we need to take him.  Then draft a G or CB in round two.  Trade for Darnold or Minshew and have open competition in camp at QB.  Maybe even draft a QB in rounds 3-5 and let them join the fray.

you can find plenty of examples of game manager QB teams who did well, and even won the Super Bowl. We saw with Cam that even one hole in the OL can neutralize a great QB.

Heck we saw it with Mahomes this year.  Mike Remmers killed two teams chances at Super Bowls.  A great OL can make an average QB look good.  A bad OL can make an all pro look like crap.

Just by sitting calmly and letting the nervous and desperate shake things out ahead of us, we will come out with the best of the bunch. 

It's #8, not #29. 

CMC came to us at #8 (and y'all laughed when I said that would be our pick) and Luke came to us at #9 (and people went, why? who?). Jordan Gross was our #8 pick, as was Biakabutuka (well, he could have been great). And we grabbed Derrick Brown last year at #7.

It's a good place to be in the draft, act like it.

we could really shore up our OL in a hurry this draft, if we forego the QB for another season. if we do, and have another good all around draft, we could be looking at legit being a QB away from deep runs. then, we can consider trading a ton of future picks for the final piece.

That’s where I’m at. OL galore. Just draft them all and let’s check off that huge box.

Eric Fisher got abused by the Bucs in the first game! He wasn't the magic elixir that was going to help them win against that outstanding defense. Remmers didn't play well, but the Bucs made a lot of good tackles look pretty bad.

      Draft expectations vs reality

      By musicman · Posted

      Your thoughts? I don't think the trade up or even down value system stays exactly in place this year. Look at all the bad trades that hurt teams that give away too much (49ers for Lance, even us w/the Bears set us back). What trade up except Mahomes/KC was it really a great trade for the team giving up a lot? Same with trading down. Teams will know you don't want to pick and they won't be giving the store to move up because there is not a generational talent to do that for. Now, I believe these possibilities.  The Giants probably won't take QB-Sanders at 3, it's too much pressure if it doesn't work. They don't really need another edge rusher with Carter. I can see them possibly saving face, trade down to even the Panthers at 8 but not asking for a kings ransom. A 1st round swap, a 3rd and 4th and maybe next years 2nd and 4th could be enough without giving up too much. The Giants save in pay and in public opinion and then they can take Sanders or even another QB. For the Panthers to drop down, it has to mean their top 3 picks are not there. Do they take TE-Warren if he drops in their lap at 8 (I do like that)? I believe they would love to drop back but again I don't think teams will pay a lot to move up unless they want a QB before the Saints (our only hope for a good value).  I'm not picking a player, just thinking of the draft in general and value. Reaching doesn't work and more and more teams are realizing that.

      My one and only mock draft

      With the new DL, we should be better at edge by simple addition.   What player would have the biggest impact on the Panthers?  I still see the plan to trade back and take Emmanwori if we can find a trade partner.  Why, you ask?  S is a huge need and they have really only looked at 1 visits/meetings.  We will try to trade up for Princely in the second.  A WR in the third  (Bech or Noel).
