1. Cincinnati - Bowers DE Cincinnati ranked near the bottom of the league in sacks and had to get in front of Denver to pick up the sack artist they desired.

2. Denver - Fairley DT Fox moves to plan B which is not far from Plan A and still a need when moving back to the 4-3

3. Buffalo - Newton QB Fitzgerald will hold down the position till about week 6 when Buffalo finds themselves already on the outside of the playoffs

4. Carolina - Green WR Best player in the draft and heir apparent to the declining Smith. Carolina also picks up Cincinnati's 2nd rounder this year and 2nd rounder next year.

Panthers

2nd - Liuget - DT - Illinois

3rd - Burton - CB - Utah

3rd - Powe - DT - Ole Miss

Really doubt anyone gives up two 2nd rounders to move up four spots to take Bowers. Maybe if they fall in love with a quarterback AND think there's a good shot he'll be taken ahead of them, but for a DE? Possible but highly unlikely. Even if he is their top guy they'd most likely sit tight and hope he falls to them and just go with their #2 option if he doesn't.

As for Liuget and Powe, neither of them have impressed me all that much from the tape I've watched.

after watching this video of Liuget, if he puts on about 15 lbs, he could be a dominant NT in the 3-4. he stuffs running lanes like crazy

Considering some have Bowers and Quinn rated similarly and that Cinci can get one or the other at the 4 spot. Doubt it happens. Also don't see Carolina taking a WR even if they trade Smitty away for a 4th or 5th rounder. (it's all they are going to get, sorry guys.)

Also most scouts have Fairley rated #2 among Dt's now, so I don't they he goes top 5 now...

Highly possible though on draft order though and I'd deffinitely take the trade if they offered it.

Usually in trades I've seen the future pick is usually valued as the current middle pick in one round lower. Or half the value of the middle pick in the same round sam.

So the 2nd rounder next year would be like the 17th pick in the 3rd this year. Or half the value of a 17th next year.

But yeah I agree that would be too much. A 4th would be more like it.

    • I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/
    • I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...
    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.
