What does the Henderson trade mean for Donte and Jaycee?

What it means is there there is literally no excuse not to go OL with the 1st pick next year unless an absolute stud, I'm talking STUD, falls to us.  Otherwise why would OL not be the 1st pick?  

CB, no.  WR, no. TE, no.  RB, lol.  QB, probably not unless Darnold face-plants but even if he does... the QB class is horrendous.  DE or DT, not unless a stud falls and I only say that because you can never have enough pass rushers.  LB, nah unless it is a stud.  

Really the only other position that I would say right now might warrant a 1st round selection is safety.  Otherwise it has got to be OL, right?

If Rhule and Fitty see too much bust potential in the BPA OL, they'll pass on what they feel is a reach for need. Ask Justin Fields. (Not saying Fields is a bust, just that Rhule and Fitts saw something they didn't love)

I don't think D Jax will be back, too many important players to re-sign like DJ, Reddick, and possibly Sam if he continues to play well.

I would have agreed with you if this had happened 3 weeks ago, but Donte looking like a new man in that Captain's jersey.  His open field tackling has been elite.  He's been a HUGE part of why we're leading the league in run blocking after being atrocious for the past several years.

It will be interesting to see how it shakes out.  There's still a long season ahead. I'd love to see us keep Donte, but obviously you can't keep everyone.  I just hope he gets TONS of appreciation for how he's played so far this season.

No doubt Jackson will be getting a big payday if he continues playing the way he’s been. There’s no guarantee he will resign. We just signed Bouye and drafted Horn this year. I think this is a great back up plan in case Jackson leaves. We won’t get desperate to keep him now that we have Henderson and Bouye. We would be desperate if he did leave and we didn’t have Henderson. Good planning ahead for the future.

I think the plan is to develop enough talent behind these guys that you don't overpay out of desperation to keep them. Kinda the opposite of what the past FO's did.

Which is why Curtis is playing for the WFT now. Donte is pretty much in the same position, we will retain him if he will take what we offer, if not he will be elsewhere getting overpaid.

    • 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.
