What are we doing in the draft?

Outside round 1: Trey Smith is a name at OG we should all be familiar with in R2 or 3.  He's going higher than projected.

Overall, we could be looking at a big line boost.  Also, don't be shocked if we go RB or WR high rounds 1-3. 

Pitts is gone. 

It's the top of our board of these three: Slater, Fields, & Chase

I think not selecting Pitts would be a monumental mistake. The more I look, the more I’m convinced he’ll be incredible in our offense. He’s going to be so open in our offense. McCaffrey and he pulling down safeties so DJ Moore and Anderson can just run down the field will be unstoppable. Oh and then we’re in the end zone with Dan Arnold and Pitts. Lol to the defenses.

you could have god mode megatron and antonio gates, but it wont matter if your OL sucks.

always always build from the ground up. the lines are the foundation. you don't pass up an elite LT or DE unless you already have one on your roster. which we havent since gross.

Sewell or Slater make a ton of sense.

I still wouldn’t mind IF Sewell were gone. To try to move down a few spots and trade with NE or Denver then grab Horn.  
Horn and Bouye would be a nice change to this secondary.  (This, plus I’m convinced we’re taking a FS in the 1st 3 rd’s as well with Rhule’s pro day tour on Safeties)

1. Horn

2. LT

3. FS (UCF Kid)

Quicker and easier to build O line with vets in free agency than to rely on rookies in the draft. They’ll be more cuts after the draft, plus if you want a OT from the draft then wait until the second round, they’ll be someone decent left (leatherwood).

My take based on availability (top 2 QBs 100% gone):

A) Lance/Fields

B) Sewell

C) Slater

D) Pitts

E) Trade down

We know Lawrence and Wilson are gone.  Miami, Philly or Detroit will take the top WR.  One of the two between Fields and Lance will be 99.9% gone.  That's four selections leaving at least one of those options unless another WR is selected.  My thought is we are left with the option of Slater or a trade down.  I don't like Surtain at #8, BTW.  You only take generational corners like Revis in the top 10 and while very good, he is not that.

I agree.

Verge have your positional rankings changed in the last month?  Also was  curious as to where you ranked someone like Darrisaw if we traded down and missed on Sewell/Slater? Is there a huge drop off after the big two LT’s?

Thanks

I'm not Verge, and I'm not the only one who ranks Darrisaw above Slater. He'll be gone by 15.

      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. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  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...
