Doesn't sound like QB in cards at 6

Yeah I fear that last year may give them the confidence to try this.

We have a rare chance to solve a  long-standing need. Don’t get cute.

 

They are only cute. That's why our 2021 draft is likely to be the disaster that I think it will be. 

Trading down is for teams that are built or crush at talent evaluations. We aren't either of those.

Centers rarely go top 10. In fact they rarely go top 15. 

I think Linderbaum could be. I wouldn't be mad at getting him in that 10-15 range. 

People said the same thing about TE, yet the Falcons took one top 5 last draft. If a guy is supposed to be a once in a decade or longer prospect at his position, some team will pull the trigger. Heck, the Raiders took a kicker once upon a time in round one when everyone said nobody does that.

I wouldn't be shocked I would be furious 

I would be shocked if they went DB again in top 10. I wouldn’t be shocked if they signed someone like Cam Robinson to try to fix the OT problem and then they trade the 6th pick for more picks and pass on Ekwonu, Neal, etc. 
 

Personally, I think the better move is to draft a player who can play OT ($20 mil per year position),  sign a FA safety like Marcus Williams so Chinn can play strong safety and maybe get down in the box more. Chinn needs to be our Chancellor. Find a rangy FS to play the Earl Thomas role and draft the OT rather than signing one.

IOL are different. TE's have grown to be game changers. Centers are important but also far easier to obtain.

We're just going to have to agree to disagree. Linderbaum is supposed to be the best center prospect in years and the best O-lineman in the draft. Some team will take a chance, especially with two teams having two top ten picks.

I like him as a prospect but I have grown to be leary of small, athletic centers. Kalil was unreal but a lot of the guys with similar profiles(Tyler C being one) have not lived up to that billing.

Panthers will trade down to the 11-15 range. 1st for 1st+2nd+4th/5th

Expect Ekwonu or Linderbaum to be the pick from there

Absolute best case scenario IMO operating under the assumption we trust BC at LT or sign one in FA. I imagine Ickey doesn't have the "right size" Rhule wants for a LT, though. 

But, Ickey can play OG or LT if needed and Linderbaum would honestly be a dream to lock the center position up for the next decade. Grab more OL in the 2nd (or even QB if we want a glimmer of hope) and the OL rebuild is on at least.

    • One has a proven, offensive-minded, Super Bowl winning head coach along with a top 5 OL + defense. He's being protected and getting the ball back not having to chase the other teams. The other had Frank Reich + Thomas Brown their rookie year with a bottom 5 defense as well as a bottom 5 OL that gave up the 2nd most sacks against a rookie QB ever. The sophomore season is being ran with a top 5 OL but also with a rookie HC (that has just one year of OC experience) and a bottom 5 defense still. The Broncos defense has allowed over 20pts just three times this season (26 vs. SEA (L), 23 vs. LAC (L), 41 vs. BAL (L)). Meanwhile, the Panthers have had ONE game where the defense gave up less than 20pts (vs. NYG (W)).   I'm not sure how folks couldn't expect Bo Nix to statistically perform better given their incredibly different situations. With that said, I didn't expect Nix to keep ascending as impressively as he has this season. Hopefully his arc will give other older college QBs a better shot, especially given the recent media blitz against the NFL regarding how development of the QB position in the league seems to be non-existent. Hopefully Bryce continues to improve as well, of course.  
    • “You can learn a lot in 10 games,” Nix said. “[I’m] still learning, still growing, but just finding ways to execute the play that’s called, no matter what it is: run play, pass play. It doesn’t matter. Just finding the right way to go with the ball.” To that point, Nix noted how his developing partnership with head coach Sean Payton has helped Denver’s offense get to the next level. “To be honest, I think at the beginning, you kind of make the NFL bigger than what it actually is,” Nix said when asked where he feels he’s made the most strides. “These players are really good, but at the same time, you have really good players on your level. I think simplifying the game, trying to play as fast as possible, and finding a completion, which is what we’ve been able to do here recently. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field, and what we can execute. Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense, and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle. Just kind of see one or two things, and let those guys take you to where the ball is supposed to be.” -Bo Nix From what I'm gathering regarding Bryce, the Panthers entered this season with a reset mindset. It's Young's rookie year, which explains the benching. Now, we're beginning to see the development of Canales and Young's offense. Slow development but we're winning 😃 
    • Bix has more tds through his first 11 games than bryce has his entire career....no comparison at all he made amazing throws during his first games his decision making just keeps getting better.  Young does not have the physical ability ro make the rhrows bo makes
