Official Sound off like you got a pair Panthers Draft predictions thread

[FuFuLamePoo]

Here’s my take: I think Darnell Washington is overrated and would be a bad pick at 39. I know he’s apparently some freak athlete but when I watch his film he looks clunky and labored. Basically zero production as a pass catcher, sure he may be a beast of a blocker but don’t we already have someone that’s supposed to fill that role in Tremble? I don’t think I’ll be thrilled if we take him high.

Would love either of these. Started the process favoring Stroud but have come around to Young the last few weeks. I'll be excited either way. I doubt Kincaid or Sanders are available for 39 but would be ecstatic about either.

I don't see us drafting at #39 and then sitting patiently until while 54 picks get made before we're back on the clock. A potential trade down from #39 makes sense. Seeing Jeremy Chinn moved wouldn't shock me. I hope we don't do it but we sure have made moves to make it possible.

Blasphemy!! They better not trade Chinn !! I will be pissed!!

Avila or Mauch could be a great get in R2 in a trade down scenario, but otherwise, I think we stay away from most, if not ALL OL until the later rounds.  I agree with a few of the anonymous reports via McGinn that GM & Scouts think this is the worst OL in recent memory.  No sense in forcing ourselves to pick a position.  

WR is also bad, but there's some potential bloomers scattered in the mid rounds.   Not many at all though, which is why you see nearly every fanbase mocking Mingo or Scott to their team.  

This draft is just shining bright with EDGE, TEs, RBs, & CBs. 

My guess is we have very specific player targets.

Just saying. Him and Von Bell are basically redundant. Don't be shocked if it happens. Like Fitts said, you can't re-sign everybody.

With Burns and Brown having contracts coming due it might be a good idea to trade Chinn sooner vs later.

We've made the moves to potentially do it. I thought we were gonna sign a safety but I expected a FS type. That's still low key one of our bigger roster holes. I see folks talking about WR, CB, EDGE, etc. but FS isn't far behind IMO.

I disagree. I think the addition of bell will allow Chinn to play more of a joker/hybrid role and stay in the box where he shines best.

I theory yes, but with Woods, Bell, and Chinn being similar he becomes a little expendable. Especially if we sign/draft a true FS like @LinvilleGorgewas mentioning.

I'm thinking we go DL with the first pick. I hope we don't MLB or QB. We have Andy Fücking Dalton!!! SB baby!!

[Hoenheim]

At this point I'm kinda sick of all the Bryce predictions.  I kinda want to see the meltdowns if he isn't the pick  

[razorwolf]

(1)  Bryce Young, QB  (Alabama)

(39)  Will McDonald IV, Edge  (Iowa St.)

(93)  Darius Rush, CB  (S. Carolina)

(114)  Jonathan Mingo, WR  (OMiss)

(132)  Chandler Zavala, OG  (NC St.)

(145)  Zack Kuntz, TE  (Old Dominion) 

                               or

           Nick Hampton, Edge/LB  (App St.)

The Panthers take Bryce Young with the number one overall pick, no doubt.

Though, this will be a decision that haunts us for several years once we all use common sense to realize that a 5'10 194 pound QB can't sustain himself in professional football.

I am sure you'll be rooting him to fail, so you can be right, and say "I told you so."
