How I would handle the 1st pick


Leeroy Jenkins PhD

Recommended Posts

If I were in charge of the panthers draft I would:

Find a team that really wants that number one spot (I know its probably the least valuable 1st pick in many years)

I would trade down for: this years 2nd and 4th and a 1st round pick next year

Do you think a team would be willing to make that trade? and if so, who would want to reach that high up and where do you think we could land it? Mid 2nd and 4th? maybe even an early 2nd and 4th.

That gives us a 2nd, two 3rds, and two 4ths. We could avoid having to pay the heavy 1st round money befor the league decides on a rookie salary cap. (If they are going to, which I believe they will)

Next year it gives us 2 1st round picks in a much stronger draft class. and having to pay less money for the picks.

I feel with no obvious 1st pick selection as in years past, this would be a great move by the front office.

Isn't that what a forum is for?

And yeah, I went to ECU for 2 years before I transfered to UNCW. and LAW are my initials not my major.

My major was even more useless. Psychology. But eventually, after grad school it might pay off. Thanks for taking an interest

lol ECU to UNCW

what, couldn't get into UNCC to pull the Chapel Hill slingshot?

Actually I got married and my wife managed the victoria secret in Wilmington, just made more sense for me to move. Plus ECU was nothing but a distraction. Loved the school, couldn't, for the life of me, make it to all my classes. But sadly if my GRE goes well in a few weeks we will be heading to the worst football college in the SEC next year. Vandy

    • True.  Sam and Baker did not do well here but went on to better things under better coaching, circumstances or both.  The real question is, ‘why aren’t the Panthers able to get improved performance out of ‘broken toys’, similar to Minnesota and Tampa? That is a rhetorical question.  I think we know the answer.   [The cultural reference to Pogo dates me, I admit.]
    • 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. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.  
    • 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
