Worst mock I've seen

Josh Norris had us trading the number eight pick to the chargers so that they could take Penei Sewell. Then we take Rashawn Slater at thirteen.

Not really a fan of that. I'd rather just take Sewell.

That won't happen.

Why do you think Sewell is better than Slater?

Honestly I'd be more than happy if we traded down to 20 and still ended up with AVT, may not be the answer at LT but he's still a damn good OL prospect and a day one starter. Agreed an RB at 39 is insane, but Javonte is absolutely nuts. Maybe in a dream world we realize McCaffrey's contract is awful and could find someone to take him off our hands.

Given the trade, I would've gone:

Darrisaw - OT, VT

Asante Samuel, Jr. - CB, FSU

Davis Mills - QB, Stanford

Chazz Surratt - LB, UNC

Josh Myers - IOL, OSU

Talanoa Hufanga - SS/LB, USC

James Hudson - OT, Cincy

James Wiggins - FS, Cincy

 

 

 

 

Another 3rd round QB?....no thank you

I'm shocked how many of you seem opposed to trading down. This is the way all the best teams operate. Trading down to 13 and still walking away with Slater would be another absolute homerun night one scenario.

That’s assuming slater is there

Trade down is good if you do it right but is fuging horrible if done wrong. 

IMO you don't trade down below 15 unless someones offering you a future first rounder. You don't trade down to any position if you're getting a piss poor deal (ex. trade down to 19 and pick up a 3rd rounder). 

Staying at 8 and going BPA has a ton of merit still. Keep in mind we're picking in the top 10 of almost every round so our 1st 2nd and 3rd rounders have a ton of value by themselves.  

I think people are in love with the idea that we can fix the entire team perfectly in one offseason and are also obsessed with trying to make up for the picks we gave up for Darnold from next years draft. The only pick we gave up for him that has much meaning is the 2nd rounder . Oh boo hoo you lost a 2nd rounder. Get over it. Acting like we gave up 5 firsts for darnold lol.

    • Sure, there's definitely a chance that a fire sale in 2022 could've paid off but I don't think that's a certainty. It's not just about stockpiling the picks and bettering odds; it's about hitting on those picks, having a stable coaching staff to develop them, and keeping the locker room engaged. We didn't exactly have a model front office nor stable coaching staff in 2022. It's worth noting that part of the reason that DJ had to be included in the trade up for #1 was because the Bears needed an immediate, proven WR1 to help Fields. It was him or another immediate first-round pick, not a future one like what was being offered for Burns (whom teams knew that things were shaky with and that they could afford to wait). As for the Eagles, they recovered because the foundation was already in place. Pederson got flak and was ultimately fired (and was just fired again this offseason from the Jags). Their recovery was quick because the foundation was already in place: Howie Roseman and a solid roster (that included a stacked OL, a second year QB, and a veteran defense). Philly had a margin of error that just wasn't available to Carolina. I'm not against using the draft to rebuild, but a full-on teardown comes with real consequences: fan disengagement, a fractured locker room, poor development, a losing environment... and I don't believe that we had the necessary leadership at the time to cleanly navigate it. That's a gamble that I want no part of.  Now that we do have a staff that seems to be in complete alignment and building for the future rather than fighting for their jobs, I'm more inclined to observe their process and see where it leads rather than backseat driving with "perfect" hindsight. 
    • I see it a bit differently considering there is only 20M in cap space. Given how many of the premium positions are on rookie contracts their cap should not be nearly maxed out. Tillis still has a lot of work to do before these rookies will need a second contract.
