2021 Carolina Panthers Thread - Early draft talk?
Thanks to Rivera.
The Panthers are currently 5-10 with the #7 pick. Assuming they lose to the Saints and Bucs, the Panthers will finish 5-12. Below is how remaining games impact draft position.
The Panthers can get to the #5 pick outright if two of the Bears, Texans, Jets, or Giants win twice and the Seahawks win once. The Panthers could tie for the #5 pick if two of the Bears, Texans, Jets, or Giants win once. The Panthers can't fall any lower than #8 and could end up as high as #3. The most likely scenario is #6.
Here are the games of interest:
Seahawks-Bears is on right now.
If the Bears win, the Bears, Seahawks, and Panthers are 5-10 in the #6, #7, and #8 spots.
If the Seahawks win, the Panthers remain at #7 and the Texans, Jets, Giants, and Bears are 4-11 in the 3-6 spots.
Week 17 games:
Giants vs. Bears - Somebody has to win this one.
Bucs vs. Jets - Don’t give the Jets much of a chance here.
Texans vs. Niners - Texans could win this but doubtful.
Lions vs. Seahawks - Good chance for the Seahawks to pick up that win but the Lions can surprise. The Lions could still win one game and keep the #2 pick.
Week 18 games:
WFT vs. Giants - Don’t see the Giants winning anything but WFT may be out of it here too.
Bears vs. Vikings - Not likely for the Bears.
Titans vs. Texans - Doubtful
Seahawks vs. Cardinals - The Seahawks could be in the playoff hunt if they beat the Bears and Lions and have help but if that’s the case they’re not in the way for the #5 pick.
—————
Bears win so it’s a 3-way tie for the #6 pick at 5-10 with the Bears and Seahawks.
Damiere Byrd with a crazy endzone toe tap on the 2 point conversion. But that’s only his second craziest endzone catch.
