Yeah, hence why we suck so badly. Worry about churning the bottom of the roster when it doesn't basically look the same as the top of the roster.

Yep, agreed.

Something I liked from the Athletic pod last week is that a 1st rounder needs to be a top-12 at their position within their rookie contract. And to that point, the first round isn’t all hits but the higher up, the better the rate. So yeah, I don’t think dropping past the mid teens is really to our benefit. You don’t trade down so far with a hope one of three guys is there. A reach isn’t always a bad thing. That’s what many would have called a Slater pick last year. Sometimes your need and a perceived reach can actually land you exactly the guy you’re looking for.

Via Mike Sando in the Athletic...

1. Jaguars: Evan Neal

2. Lions: Aidan Hutchinson

3. Texans: Kayvon Thibodeaux

4. Jets: Kyle Hamilton

5. Giants: Ikem Ekwonu

6. Panthers: Trevor Penning 

7. Giants: Devin Lloyd

8. Falcons: Garrett Wilson

9. Broncos: Jermaine Johnson

10. Jets: Chris Olave

Regarding the Panthers pick...

Penning does not appear in the top 10 of most mock drafts, but the GM thought the 6-foot-7 prospect deserved consideration even higher than this.

“Penning won’t get past Carolina,” the GM predicted.

The GM said he thought there would be sufficient tackle options at No. 6, including Mississippi State’s Charles Cross, for Carolina to stay in this slot and land one.

Brugler just dropped his 3.0 and has us going with Penning as well.  He had a great combine

I think we need to start from the Center, but this guy wouldn't break my heart if he was the pick. That mean streak he has is something we need on the line.

I don't love taking him at 6 but I don't hate it. 

I do think Penning will be successful somewhere on the OL. Can't say the same for Brown or Christensen.

    • Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair. 
    • it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
    • Sounds like a plan. Those are the teams we should be mimicking! lol
