Is There Anyone Other Than a T or QB for the Panthers at #6

I have no idea what these people will do. Reaching for a QB or drafting a CB would be another year of disappointment in the draft but that is small time for me compared to the idea of them using next year's draft capital in this draft. 

No one we took in the first 3 rounds last year started more than 3 games. Luck, coaching decisions or poor free agent signings they felt they had to play...doesn't matter that is just awful on all levels. They need to do better but I'm not sure this crew can scrape a good draft together.

I mean… if somehow it went - Neal, Icky, Cross, Willis, Aiden for whatever reason, what would you guys wanna do?

Trade back and target  Penning, Pickett or Drake London... maybe.  That's a doomsday  scenario....

I don't know that I'd consider them a unified front at this point.

Fitterer seems to want to build for the long term. Matt Rhule can't necessarily afford to do that.

I know, I know, I know, Fit is an independent genius saddled with Rhule, yadda yadda.

I'm not impressed by what he's done, either independently or dependently of Rhule. He's just Gettleman who wouldn't be caught dead at a yard sale and lower riding shorts.

Let's see if he can turn four picks into  14 this year and still manage to not grab a 17-game starter.

Edit to add: Let's make it easier, just an 8 game starter.

If Hutch, Walker/Willis, and all 3 tackles go in the top 5 = Draft Thibodeaux

If Hutch, Thibodeaux, and all 3 tackles go in the top 5 = Sauce

This is assuming you can’t trade back. Honestly, I don’t think most teams would be willing to offer what’s needed to trade up to 6 with those guys off the board 

I agree that Thibs isn’t a bad choice at 6. If we get screwed in that 2nd scenario I’d prefer Travon Walker. I think he’d have a bigger impact than Sauce year 1/2.

I can’t really argue with that. There’s just something about lining up Sauce and Horn on the outside with DJax in the middle that makes salivate.

Honestly, I wouldn't be stunned with us taking Walker, Thibodeaux, or Garrett Wilson (we really liked Jaylen Waddle last year)

He's going to be a stud.  May not make sense for us, but I think people will look back and he'll be this one superstar out of the draft with not much else.

It's the big 3 OTs, trade back or worst case scenario take the best edge guy.  If all OTs are gone, one of the edge rushers HAS to drop, either Walker or Thibodeaux.  I'd prefer Walker, put him on the strong side and move Burns to the weak side.  YGM is probably going to be a career backup and the rest of the supporting cast is marginal.  I still can't believe we re-sign Haynes. I guess as a reserve he's okay, but if pressed into starting duties due to injury?  That's a definite no.

    • 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. 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
