Joe Person on Panthers plans for #8 pick

Ahhh, the week before the draft when everything insane is spoken out loud.

Why, because he clashed with Rhule?

I think Brown was a great pick. We desperately needed a DT and this years class is terrible.

Hopefully, Marty’s overall record of roster building is what got him fired.

When Marty was fired, one of the big reasons cited was that he and  Rhule didn't mesh well.

I agree his record should have been a factor, but I can't help thinking if it were as big a deal as it should have been, he wouldn't have lasted as long as he did.

I am going to revisit what I said some time ago, before we (and I) started praying for a T.

There are starting tackles in early round 2.

We need a #1 CB so that Jackson is not locked up on the opposition's #1.  That makes both outside CBs better.  We can't find that #1 CB in rounds 2-7.

Did we sign a free agent who can play #1?  We signed a 32-year old nickel and a gamble.

CB Kelvin Joseph might be around with our second pick. He covered 1st round prospect Devonte Smith well.

The team has sent out so many mixed smoke signals that we really can't trust any of this stuff. If we did it would mean that they were either ready to trade everything for a shot at a QB, trade down to get 47 picks and a crate of footballs, or sh!t the bed by picking a WR at #8.

I sure hope Rhule and Co. have a better idea of what to do than it's looking like from the outside.

 

Drafting Chase at 8 would be FAR from shitting the bed.  Other teams would be shitting themselves at the thought of going up against our offense.

Panthers have Rashawn Slater rated higher on their board

Joe Person told me personally last night when he came over to my place for some sex 

Butt-secks?

I think many of you are completely underrating the impact a shut down corner would have on this young defense. Drafting one of these guys gives so much more flexibility as to what Snow will be asking Chinn to do. Chinn becomes an all pro safety/lb with a shutdown corner opposite of him. 
 

there are guys I’d rather have but I absolutely won’t be upset if one of these guys is the pick.

Not crazy about a cb at 8. However, I'd be on board with a cb in the teens plus the haul from trading down, and snag an OT in the 2nd given there should be plenty of decent ones to choose from.

CB is a huge need. We have no current starting caliber corners signed past this year, Donte is guaranteed to miss games and Bouye is suspended the first 2 games with his best years behind him. You could argue it might be our biggest need. I'd still rather have Sewell if he's there but if he's gone and a team is willing to pay big to move up to 8, we should hear them out

Let's be honest... until he proves otherwise, I don't think any opposing DCs are shitting themselves going up against Sam Darnold.

FIelds or OT at 8 please and thanks unless our doors are absolutely blown off with a trade down option. 

The defense should be good, even with CB being a weakness.  Can't fix it all this year, and offense is quickly going to be the issue over the defense if big moves aren't made there, especially in the future.

Based on what? Our QB getting sacked and eventually carted off before he can toss it to Chase?

Right because if we don't take a Tackle at 8, there is no other possible way to land a good player at that position....

Very high on Newsome!

Me too! I have him as my #3 CB behind Horn and Surtain. I would be floored if Newsome doesn't go 1st round. If he doesn't, Panthers better trade up from 39 to 33 and take him with the 1st pick of round 2 and celebrate

I'm flexible on the first pick but I'd be bummed if they didn't come away with multiple offensive lineman in this draft.
