Panthers Confidential - A Look Into the Panthers Offseason

Makes sense.

When Rhule went to the board, he was talking about "guys they love" at 8. The others would fit as fallback options.

That would put quite a damper on the "Oooh!  That is Fields!  They're hiding something!" argument.

I don't think the Panthers are "hiding" anything. We liked the option of trading a future 2nd and a couple of late rounders for Darnold better than drafting Fields at #8. Time will tell if that turns out to be smart or not. We'll see if the President of the Sam Darnold Fan Club follows him to his next stop if it doesn't work out here. We already know MrScot will convince himself that somehow this was still part of the Panthers' grand plan and anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional.

@CRA, what are your thoughts on the tweet above?

Tucker looking pretty strong now that I see how his name is spelled.  That's got to be it.  I think the trade down list seems to make a lot of sense.  You know, that has to be factored in. 

I mean, the last one clearly starts with a F.   That's it.  The rest is a jumble.  Could be Farley.  Could be Fields.   I'm not sure you could really argue one over the other outside of just wishing to be right.

Dude, you sound seriously butthurt over this stuff (yikes!)

I've already said if he doesn't work out, I think our next QB comes from the draft.

Would Fields be a reasonable possibility after a trade back though?

Given that the team thought that could at least potentially get a trade up offer for him, that doesn't seem logical.

Well, he went after our pick....and he went around the same area Tucker did.  More so than Farley. 

I mean, it's whatever your mind wants it to be.

Not really. Voth's tweet would seem to indicate it wasn't Fields.

Klein generally has good connections and info too.

Tepper seems annoying to work for

He's honestly what I expected - a dorky numbers guy that made it big.

I've known plenty of dorky numbers guys throughout my career - I expect they'd act like him with money / power too.

He seems to let Rhule / Fitterer get on with it though. Just wants them to explain themselves, which is fair.

Yep. Likes to be kept informed of the process but doesn't inject himself into it, which is consistent with what we'd heard about him from Rhule and Gantt.

And yeah, I'm pretty relieved about that.

could of been Fiesta Taco Salad.  I don't know.  I know there is an F.  And it likely involved trading down in the first.  That still leaves Fields and Farley.   It's probably not a Fiesta Taco Salad from Taco Bell but maybe a team could have that sent to the war room as part of a deal.  Again, I told you I don't talk in absolutes about things I can't possibly be sure of.    Rhule could be that big of a Taco Bell fan.

    • Tetairoa McMillan.   The last 28 1st overall picks were either a QB, DE, or OT. Seeing as I don't think we'd take an OT in the 1st and give up on Ickey as an LT yet and there doesn't seem to be a clear overall #1 type of QB or DE pick this year, it very well could be a non conventional #1 overall this year, at least in regards from the last almost 3 decades of drafts. If we didn't have Horn, I'd be more open to Hunter as a CB at #1, but we have him so another CB wouldn't be how I'd use a #1 pick.  And as much as I love Legette, if we have SB contending aspirations, I don't think Legette is a #1 on a team like that, but he damn sure is an elite #2 on a team like that.  He's more of the Smith/Higgins/Waddle to Brown/Chase/Hill (in terms of role/impact, not style of play of course). T-Mac is going to be the top ranked WR on every team's board in the end.  He is going to be a true outside #1 WR who is viewed as a consensus Top 5 WR in the game by his second contract in the same way guys like Jefferson and Chase have done.  His height combined with his speed, athleticism, and hands are near impossible to find all in one player, there is a reason his generally used comp is Mike Evans (although as he's not as thick, I personally see him more as an AJ Green). Yes, as an Arizona alum I've admitted to having bias towards the player to begin with.  But he's also someone very widely being put into the Top 5 in mock drafts lately and most of them have him as the first non QB offensive player being taken, so it's not really THAT much of a homer pick on my part anyways. If a QB or DE truly separate themselves as being a can't miss prospect come draft day, I'm open to that discussion, but until then, or if it doesn't happen, T-Mac is my pick 100 times out of 100.
