I think next year Is when tight end will be the target. So far this class has surprised me so no clue. Van Pran would he a smart move so... we are taking Sanders at TE. Lol.

Shaq's possible replacement. I know alot of folks were high on Wilson but i can see the logic. Upside is there. Aggressive player. Position of need. Question is there a corner that can help. Is there a center. Do we double dip at WR? Is TE the move. Who is BPA at this point?

I get it. We made moves. There was hope. Hope that Mingo would show up. Hope that Sanders would produce like he did in Philly. Hope that Young would hit the ground running. Hope that the coaching staff could put it all together. Off-season is all about Hope. Here we go again. That said I like the moves by the newish FO. I can second guess it obviously. I would rather play it safe. No trades BPA but the gambles may pay off BIG. The Panthers seem to like splash trades and picks. Young, Mingo, XL and Brooks could eventually pay off. We will see.

Committee. Plus before his injury he was putting up better numbers than Bijan. Just saying. The Falcons took Bijan early and we got Brooks a round later.

Was he? The guards we trotted out there were practice squad level. AT was the only WR trying. Chuba was the only RB with consistency. And... our offensive coach was playing an outdated offense. Hurst showed up for two games. Not saying Young is the answer but I'm giving him a mulligan.

He is considered the top RB. Got some receiving ability. Bit confused. Both picks have been big swings on upside. Personally hated seeing Jackson Powers slip and we passed. Also McConkey, Polk, Kool aid, and DeJean could be a regret. But what do I know?

So many WR's I like this year. That could be the pick.

When we picking in the second next year all this will be forgotten. I like the trade. I like the extra 5th too. That could be our sleeper TE or RB.

Same. Stover, Sinnot, and Tip Reiman all intrigue me too.

This. Them showtime lights are relentless.

39 could be in play. If able to only move down and stay in the top 50 and gain a third it could be an option. The 33 is our statement pick. I think we will swing for the fences on that one. A top tier WR in a historically elite class? Yeah let's do that. Even if 6 WR's go in the first we got options. Pearsall, Worthy, Coleman, or XL. I hope only 5 go in the 1st cause in that case somebody slipped like a Ladd or Mitchell.

I'd still take Sweat in the third. I know he messed up a bit but they are kids. They make mistakes. Sweat or Van Prann are my 3rd round hopes unless JPJ falls to 33. I like Robinson but he is more of a 3-4 DE or possibly a Gross Matos upgrade. With Clowney though I think it's not the best use of that high 2nd.

I can't see a world Ladd and JPOwers slip that far.

I agree on the likely targets. Need WR's that are versatile, polished route runners and separate. The jump ball, deep threat monsters are likely wasted here. Johnny Wilson, Leggette, Tez etc are not gonna fit as well as the guys you mentioned. It's also the mold of the TE we should look at. Good route runners that make themselves available to the QB.

Keep seeing McKonkey at 39 and makes me instantly discredit them. No way he last till 39. Be lucky to have him available at 33. Way more polished than a lot of the other guys.

My rankings of WR's go like this. Harrison JR top 5 Nabers top 10 Rome between 10 and 15 Brian Thomas 15 to 20 Worthy 16 to 26 Then it gets interesting. Keon, Ladd and Mitchell all have potential to be that 6th WR taken but I don't see all of them squeezing into the 1st. Mitchell to the Bill's and Ladd to the Chiefs makes sense. That said I think it's more likely that 6 WRs go in the 1st than 8. Worthy, Keon and Mitchell all have more question marks than Ladd but have physical traits that are more elite. Pearsall and other 2nd tier guys will likely be there at 33 or even 39 so I'm not worried. This is a ridiculously talented and deep class. Xavier Leggette would be a 1st rounder in many prior classed.

B+ off season. Wish luvu would have stayed but feeling good bout this off-season. Nail the draft and we got a A. Brown turned it on last season. Bad team and he gave consistent effort unlike a certain someone.

Yeah I'd like to see a duo too. Not even tied to them being the premium picks. Coker, Washington, Thrash, McMillan, Ainias Smith, Cowing and Rice are all guys I like. We need to adopt a similar strategy as the Texans last year. Crowded WR room with multiple skill sets and body sizes just throwing everything against the wall to see what fit. I would love to add a Pearsall, Corley, Tez, McConkey, or Legette but 33 and 39 could also be a top corner, NT or Center. I keep thinking bout Sweat with Brown and Robinson on each side or pairing Horn with a legit talent across him. WR is a need but Dionte and AT are gonna eat. Mingo needs to step up and competition needs to be brought in. AT might need to ride into the sunset at some point but it's not tomorrow. It all comes down to Young.

Build for the future and prepare. A young Center still needs to be part of the plan.

Man plays the run better than Burns could ever dream of. He is a dawg. Might take a play off occasionally but if we got wonnum, chaison and barno he can. And no I doubt DJ Johnson will ever work out but.... If he can put it together.

Same. Corbett at Center is a big question mark. Horn playing up to his draft status and staying healthy is also one. So center and corner trumps edge at this point. 33 and 39 need to be a WR, Corner or Center. I like Kneeland and Adisa at edge but starting to lean towards whichever WR catches our fancy or a corner. Developmental center might be available later. Van Prann is my hope but have a feeling he will go before 65. Sleepers like McCormick and Limmer are options but using the 101 on a Center worries me. Less fear bout scooping up a RB, TE or WR there. I think one of those top picks will be a WR though so a top tier Corner is more important at 33 or 39. I've seen DeJean slide to 33 in mocks. I don't know but I have some hope in this draft.

Are we done with edge? We could be. Wonnum and Chaison are being underrated on here. New management did exactly what I suggested to replace Burns. Give me two to three guys in place of Burns. I personally think Barno can contribute too. I don't see edge as big a priority as corner, wr or center now. Obviously BPA but all things considered 2nd tier CB vs 2nd tier Edge im taking corner.

In hind sight Levis was a play. No trade up wait for this year or stay put and take Levis. Hell we could have had a Jake Locker for peanuts and still draft a guy this year. Maybe it will all work out.
