Let’s be real. We probably only get to 4 wins max. We will still have a top 5 pick.  Even if we miss out Will Johnson has gotten Pat Surtain like comparisons or grab your first pick of the edges.  It’s nice to win one here and there. Maybe if we show signs of life we won’t have to grossly over pay any free agents to come play defense here next year.

If we get back to .500 football my wife may not be thrilled when I go out and buy half a grand or more in new swag.

We gonna mess around and end up with the #8 pick aren't we?

 

Bad wins are a real. This was a bad win. Playing with fire now would could drop on the draft board.

 

Nevermind missing out on the QBs. But missing out on Hunter/Tmac would be the epic fail. Those are the only 2 non QBs with game changing talent. 

 

 

I'm all for winning, but you have to look at the bigger picture. Is a few extra wins worth missing out on those players in the draft?

I will never be sad about a win. If you can't build a football team because of a win, you just don't know what you're doing. 

I suggest you get familiar with the big boards, but remember that they're all based upon educated opinions at the end of the day. And, also remember, as was pointed out to you the other day, that mock drafts and big boards aren't equal. There is an argument that big boards ultimately provide a more true reflection of value because they aren't based upon need.

In case you don't get it, I tell you all this to say that there will still be plenty of talent wherever we fall. Being that we need (well) basically everything, we should be just fine.

Exactly, another hogmollie on the D-line and a stud edge rusher is what we need, doesn't really matter what part at the top of the first we take one of those, just needs to hit.

I am not excited by a 1 point win against a depleted team. It is unusual that I don't feel better about it, I think they have me beat down pretty low.

Like, I just want the year to be done and over. And then see where things are headed next, before I can feel better about things.

There is legit talent in this draft, and it doesn't start or begin with Hunter, T-Mac, Ward or Sanders @CamWhoaaCam. Seriously. Why you think there is some magical dropoff after that, I don't know. The closest thing to a polished product is Hunter, and even he is still going to have to make the transition to the pros. There is an argument that Mason Graham is the most sure thing in this draft.

At the top of the draft is the elite talent. I'm not saying there isn't talent in the rest of the draft. If we potentially have a top 5 pick we have to take the best of the best. Hunter/Tmac are clearly those elite game changing players.

 

Understand me now?

I typically feel this way, but after seeing so often that the highest pick doesn't guarantee a thing I'm on the fence.

Perhaps they are, but that's not a surety. But they aren't the only elite talent in this draft. I doubt we'll move out of the top 10, and elite players come out of the top 10 all the time, and sometimes below that. Mason Graham may not play a sexy position, but he is considered elite, and elite players on defense can easily be game changers. 

I could be wrong, but I think you (just like I used to do) have bought into a lot of hype. You should start researching the players on the top of the big boards besides Hunter and T-mac. Not saying that the two won't be as you believe, but there are always others. For instance, I'd heard it said here that they're aren't any elite pass rushers this year, but then I start researching, and that's not necessarily the case. By its very nature, there's a lot of projection going on regarding the draft, but sometimes you have to tune out the noise and research more than just the frontrunners.

I don't love Mason Graham at 2-3 where i expect we pick at the moment but if we trade down or pick at 7-8 i do like him.  Also could move on from Ashawn Robinson and save 4 million to spend somewhere else if took a him.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of immature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.

      I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch

      What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
