I think CB is our biggest need right now, but passing on C in round 2 does make a statement--We are happy with what we have there.  If we needed a starter, we would have never passed of Frazier or Powers-Johnson.  However, Van Pran-Granger is sitting there now....

I think we have Gilmore ready to go.

Van Pran would be my pick, he can sit a year behind Corbet and then start for 10 years.

Injury prone RB? I get you might not like the pick, but that is miss informed at best.

I mean, from the third round on you should really take players that can maybe start now or be coached up to become a starter. Because our previous two coaching staffs have been completely inept, this staff shouldn’t think they can improve players and draft accordingly? They should give up and only draft ready to go starters in round 3-7?

Apparently it wasn't only the medicals--there are teams reportedly w/character concerns about JPJ per Daniel Jeremiah and Dane B.  He may have a slide.  

I haven’t heard this before, what were the character concerns?

Didn’t want him, just like I didn’t want Bryce last year. Hopefully I’m wrong and he turns out great. The one thing I definitely like is that he is no diva WR, that’s fir sure

This could be a banner year for QB's... or the biggest group of busts of all time.

Oh there will be busts, no doubt

Cmon now the reaching on these qbs is insane 

Agree 100%. But great for us

Am I the only one ok with no WRs in round 2? If that happens it means it was a run on WRs and it pushed some really good players to us.

Is no-one worried that Daniels is going to be a 24 year old rookie?

Agree, older QBs that started for 4-5 years scare me. They might look good year 1, but year 2 usually rough.

I mean, what is their untapped potential and upside? The last 1-2 years have been men playing against boys.

I hope not, and I think not, but I wouldn’t rule it out. If there is someone we really want and the cost is ok, I can see it happen. Would also give us year 5 for that player. Overall it will be a fascinating first round, feels like anything could happen.

BPA Center, then whomever is BPA for WR/CB/Edge/LB.

 I mean it would be a very Panther thing to do….to avoid WR in a WR draft.  No arguing that.  We are the worst team in all of sports for a reason. 

Couldn’t disagree more, reaching for a position even when it is not BPA is a Panthers thing to do. Taking BPA would be very refreshing and the right thing to do.

That's my absolute DREAM scenario. I know everyone will flip if we don't take a WR in the 2nd round but both of those guys are legit All-Pro caliber prospects that would be core players on this team for the next 10+ years barring injury.

2nd: Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon
2nd: Edgerrin Cooper, LB, Texas A&M
3rd: Johnny Wilson, WR, Florida State
4th: Braelon Allen, RB, Wisconsin
5th: Mohamed Kamara, EDGE, Colorado State
5th: Ainias Smith, WR, Texas A&M
7th: M.J. Devonshire, CB, Pittsburgh

The JPJ and Cooper combo in the second round would be awesome

I would have taken Sweat at 39.  The fact that he could be available at 65 is fantastic. If he slides all the way to 101 and we don't take him, shame on us. 

That exactly where I was at as well. Now I’m hesitant. But it is ok to start taking chances in the 4th and 5th round, so that’s where I would still consider him. Canales strikes me as someone who could be a good fit for Sweat, but that’s just a feeling I have, and I obviously don’t know that as a fact.

There's not a lot separating them except maybe speed (Leggette) and more consistent production over the years (Coleman).

There is also not a lot separating them from DBs…

I think those teams would be a great fit for him. He would be option 3ish, plays designed for him etc. So for those teams he could be a high pick. For us I don’t see him being a fit until the 3rd round, but by then he’ll probably be gone.

that is exactly how I feel.  I would love him at 65.

I agree, super likable guy, exciting to watch, but still raw despite being older. Wouldn’t take him in round 2, but would consider in round 3 if he’s there because  the Panthers need day 1 starters with the two 2nd rounders. And he’s not a day 1 starter.

This one is unrealistic but fantastic:

I'm confident Bryce can get the ball to a receiver downfield if given a somewhat clean pocket. He missed on the handfull of deep throws, but every QB misses those throws at times. He just didn't take enough shots. That's a problem in itself, but a different problem. No one is hitting a high percentage of deep balls with just ok receivers and a low-end o line. Do you really think Bryce can't accurately throw over 40 yards, when he actually overthrew his deep passes to Mingo and TMJ last season? They weren't underthrown. 

He was pretty bad a deep throws in college, so it was not a surprise that carried over to the NFL.

Did you call that there would be a misleading title on the huddle?
