The Seattle pick goes to the Jets. Since we beat the Jets does that mean they pick in front of us?

the Jets don't factor into this since it's the Seahawks original pick

Okay. Well probably want matter as I don't see another Panther victory, and Seattle hopefully beats Detroit this week

Let’s just hope there’s no a top 10 CB or DT talent available

yep hence why I think the Panthers move up in the order

Hard to get excited about draft position if Rhule comes back & has any say so over personnel. It's early -but Brown is a massive whiff - especially when they passed on Jedrick Wills. Additionally, passing on Slater/Humphrey is just maddening.

We've had our choice of left tackles in each of the last two drafts and they passed. I have zero faith in anyone's ability to evaluate the OL over there.

Jones confirms we're now 7th...

Well he didn't confirm it he just reposted the order from that website which I'm not sure is totally accurate. If the SOS between Seattle and Carolina is the same I think it goes to a coin flip.

Seattle, with no first rounder, plays Detroit in Seattle this weekend.  They have no incentive to tank and should win that game.

The Bears and Giants play Sunday.  The Giants (4-11) have a stronger SOS.  If they win, the move behind us.  If the Bears win, the stay behind us. 

If we lose out, we should be picking around 6th, barring a miracle upset frenzy ignited by wins from other 4-win teams.

Tampa Bay has had a flurry of injuries of late and they may rest starters week 18.  We have to lose to their bench and special teamers.

After reviewing the draft holy hell Philly can really do themselves a big favor with 3 firsts and the Jets have 2 in the top 7.  You could literally change the complexion of your defense or offense with those picks

Yep, but it’s not likely that Houston wins 2 (they have a way lower SOS already) or the Jets and Giants win 1. Seattle is more of a worry and kind of Chicago. I think both win this week but if their SOS goes up, it keeps us at 6 in case we pull an upset. WFT isn’t a danger and everyone else has 2 more wins. 

Looking now at 6 if we wanted to we probably would have the first crack at a qb unless the Giants pick one ahead of us.  I still will say this draft doesnt warrant a qb going in the top half of the draft

Or you could trade down to get six 3rd's and three 4th's. That's what we would do.

I'm torn about Pitt QB Kenny Pickett.

He looks like a good (but not great) prospect.  And the Panthers desperately need a competent starter at that position. 

But the LT talent at the top of this draft is just exceptional.  Not only would the team get a good starter there (which is crucial) but that would also push Christensen (and his stubby arms) to LG  - which the team has been saying all along was his best pro position.  So a double win.

Hopefully, we take the #2 tackle. I’d think it’s likely the two DEs, Hamilton and Stingley go before us so we either pick tackle 2 or have the spot people want to trade up to for the first QB.

I keep asking but what team behind us is going to give us over the top value for us to trade back so that they can pick a QB?

 

Wash and ATL can sit tight and still get their guy, maybe Cleveland but I doubt they want to start over with a rookie and give up valuable draft capital

 

So the steelers look like the only reasonable bidder and they are at 16.  So what do we get for dropping back, their 2022 first and second and their 2023 first?   Would you really do that?
