It would be hilarious to win and still end up 6th.

NYJ looks completely awful, I kinda doubt we do. But I think the win is worth it.

Top pass rusher available.

Teams tend to overdraft in the top five spots. This will give us the best player available to not $h!t the bed. 

According to historical huddle pre draft math calculations, the top 20 best guys will be gone by the time we pick at 8.

Truth is, any one of a DT, Edge, WR, LB, S or CB with the 8th pick should infuse talent and upgrade the roster.

Starting in November through today's game, the Panthers had 3 close losses to playoff teams (Chiefs, Bucs, Eagles) and were 4-5 overall. 

Not bad.

Tankathon still has Carter falling to us at 8.

Hell yeah the win was worth it!! Culture-building and confidence-building for our young QB. Great day!! 

I think it's also HOW this win occurred mattered a lot. Having a 5 TD game by Bryce, winning in OT, and winning on the road (which panthers haven't done in a while) matter more than 2 draft spots. It'd be different if it was just a field goals game and a low scoring game with Bryce looking poorly, then I'd had wish that we would lose instead.

Wont last but the jets and chargers are winning at the moment, if the results hold we would have been 6th with a win or loss today.

Most likely, but if T-Mac is there, that would be had to pass him up.  There's no elite pass rushers in this draft, IMO.  Graham would be nice too. It's just hard to draft an interior DL top 10.  I don't know if you remember the utter meltdown on the Huddle when we took Brown, even though I was thrilled.

It looks like we are currently 9th with saints losing, no?

Ahead of the Saints with the SOS tiebreaker.

This is really good range to take Will Johnson, Graham, or Tet. The way we ended the year I kinda see us as a .500 team. So to have a top 8 pick is a huge bonus as we'll add a day 1 impact starter to a .500 level talent team.

Makes it easier picking 8th since it looks like Bryce will be the guy

A couple spots isn't that bad. The draft is weird anyway, sometimes you "miss out" on the guy you really want - who ends up being a bust - and have to "settle" for a guy that ends up being a superstar.

Can't really say right now how much (if at all) this will change things for the Panthers, I'm not really worried about it either way. Most important thing is to draft the right players, regardless of where you pick.
