Round 2-3 predictions. Do the Panthers get a pick,?

I'm not so sure.

They said last year they really didn't want to part with their first, second and third rounders, and they didn't.

This year they say they don't want to part with any of their future picks, and given what it most likely feels like sitting here with no picks till the fourth, I think I believe them.

I don't think they trade into the second round but the might consider the 3rd round if they get a good return in the trade.

I honestly think they can get a good prospect in the 4th round. Despite all the prognostication on here all these qbs will not be drafted where they think they will.  

If I had to guess 2 could be taken in the second round and maybe 1 in the 3rd or vice versa. After that who knows.

Is it gonna be a rookie, though?

If Fitts gets his way, I think so. If Rhule gets his way, it'll probably be Jimmy G.

I think Fitterer would have loved to have gotten a QB in the first but the way things fell, it just didn't make sense.

So if Fitterer thought that there were 2 QBs worthy of top 10 grades and he took a LT (Cheers!) could it be that he was possibly telling a fib?

I'm glad they didn't go after/get one in the 1st. None were a 1st round qb.

They will have options in the 4th. Bank on it.

I mean, he had to say something to hedge his bets if Rhule threw a hissy fit in the war room and pulled rank and demanded they pick Pickett.

Nah, GM's don't fib.

Actually plenty of teams would like Robby - most consider his drop in production due to our QB play and offensive scheme.  He would be worth Hollywood or AJ value but plenty of value considering the WR run yesterday and other WR trades.  

And the reason we didn't trade back (if it was due to lack of offers) was likely due to the way the draft went...the stud DLinemen were gone by 6, no one had faith in these QB's clearly, and the teams that needed the OT's were all up next and could get one for free.  And we didn't want to trade out of one of the top 3 OT's so none of the later guys had good enough offers.

2nd round is a completely different ballgame and value - early 2nd rounders are worth 1/3 what our #6 was worth....it doesn't take too much to get back there.  But I guarantee you Willis and Corral are gone by pick #8....no way they get past NY, HOU, and SEA considering their 1st rounds.  I think our only shot is Robby & 2023 3rd rounder traded to KC or CHI - but even then I don't know that we get Howell so probably still not worth it.  

You're joking right? Robby is no where near worth a first rounder

He's worth whatever a team is willing to pay. And with the run on WRs last night, I wouldn't be surprised to see a needy team overpay for him.

[Mr. Scot]

Of note, Fitterer was quoted as saying that they don't necessarily need a number of players so much as they need good players.

That sounds like a trade up.

That can be true for most teams.  The most glaring "quality" player they need is a qb. But there is also other needs that need more quality players. Edge rusher and LB is a couple that need to be addressed as well. They better find some diamonds in the later rounds or its waiting until next year's draft.

I'm really only worried about not giving up our future 1st and 2nd. I'm not crazy about giving up a future 3rd.

Just a thought, but we saw QBs last much longer last night than most thought they would. That trend could continue. We may have options in the late 3rd or even close to our own 4th round pick that we didn't think would be there. At that point moving up costs way less. A future 5th or 6th. No problem to get back into the late 3rd is much more palatable than giving up our 2023 1st to get back into the 2nd round.
