I mean if you can get the job done, I dont care if arms are 28'inch. Its just a bigger mountain to climb, cause nearly all eilte DE/OLB can touch the ground standing. Only counter to long arms is long arms. Its very similar to boxing when theres a 2-3 inch reach advantage. Shorter guy has to take punishment and get dirty inside..... takes a different type of human to overcome it. 

This is getting eerily close to conversation my wife and I had recently...

I think we do something like this---we need 3 players in round 2 in my "imagination" and it takes me anywhere I want to go.

I want a #1 CB, a starting LT, and Mond or Mills (QB).  In round 3, I would like a 3 Tech and maybe a developmental G in round 4. 

My dream now is to dump Teddys contact to the Bears for Hicks to pair with Brown.

Well even though Fitts said he likes to trade back he also said there are tiers of players and at 8 with probably 4 QBs at least going in the top 8 we will for sure have a premium player so I could just as easily see them staying and getting a legit top 5 guy in other drafts at 8.

I have been trying to analyze his comments all day---there is a dropoff around 16 (and I see it) and then between 20-40 there is no difference.  So do we trade back with a team like New England (15) and then take a player, adding a pick in the 20-40 range?  I am so confused.

My instinct tells me to take the player at 8 but I don't now either TBH. Its not going to be easy if the QB is there and teams are calling but X top 5 player is there too.

Really a big gamble here. We won't have any picks next year to move up in the draft and we will be average with Darnold, so no high draft pick. I guess the plan is to build around Darnold.

if darnold plays like he has in ny, we are assured a top 3 pick lol

I'm not ready to joke about massages. Man, our plans sure went sideways in a hurry with that one.

It is the mammoth in the room, Watson was plan A-M, N-W was trade up for one(i dare think if the target was truly Mac "hbuYBV^*&G" Jones) so thank you football gods for dumb-asses in SF............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ plan X was Sam "Worst QB 3 years running" Darnold. HURrrrrrrray panthers, I almost made superbowl plans when the news hit!!!!!

It's going be Lance/Pitts...

If Lance is there he's the pick. 

Fields(he was sliding but that 40 time)

Lance

Pitts

I believe that's the draft board for the first at 8. If neither one of those guys I have a gut feeling we trading back

Coincidence we trade for Sam when ATL just offer to trade out of 4th.

    • What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.
    • With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking. 
    • We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
