How would you build the roster and draft?

Here is how I would build it.... Trade down in the second to pick up an extra late third....

Not too shabby but I don’t think we need to take Tillman all that early. I’d definitely move down, hopefully someone is enticed by something.

My dream IDEAL scenario is that we get wind that Houston falls in love with one guy. Tell them we want that 12 pick (pipe dream, I know, don’t bash the hustle). That 12 pick comes up and MAYBE say Bijan falls. Nab him or trade for a later first and additional second. That later first, we take Flowers. With our first second round pick, take Gibbs, with the extra second round pick, take Rice. Third round take Tillman or maybe someone like Michael Wilson. Fourth round , grab whatever is available of Laporta or Kuntz. I KNOW THERES A .2 PERCENT CHANCE THIS HAPPENS, LET ME DREAM! Lol.

 

So yeah it’d be - qb (not gonna pick one because its too political), bijan from the trade to 12, Rice or Hyatt at 39, Laporta or Kuntz 4th.

 

Or play trade musical chairs and end up with a whole new offense- qb, flowers, Gibbs, rice/Tillman/Wilson , then Laporta or Kuntz.

Here me out.

IF the Panthers think they can get "there QB1" at 2 and can swap spots with HOU, while gaining the Texans' #33 overall.....I'd send #39 to DEN for Jerry Jeudy. 

Give our new young QB1 a 23-year old former FRP that is an immaculate route runner with deceptive speed. We would move up 6 spots in the draft to take whomever we want. Maybe Darnell Washigton or Michael Mayer are there.....maybe a stud NT or a complimentary WR like Downs/Flowers/Hyatt/Tillman. 

We could reallocate the money we were going to spend on a FA WR and shift it to someone like Schultz or Geisicki. Re-sign Foreman

 

CJ7

Foreman

Jeudy-Downs-TMJ-Shenault

Schultz-Tremble

Ickey-BC-Boze-Corbett-Moton

The defense is, IMO, a couple of DL and depth CBs away from being complete. I think Evero and Capers will help bring Brandon Smith along and eventually replace Shaq inside in 2024. Chinn pulls a TD and converts to LB fully, and we find a third CB. Woods-Bell will be solid for the next two years as well holding up the backend.

Our cap opens up immensely in '24 as well.

    • Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist
    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
