SOJA

zod, this is an amazing write up- thank you

Interesting that we had Coleman at SS, he excelled last year at FS for us WR is getting interesting The only locks I see are KB, Funch, and Ginn- I truly think the rest is wide open with Philly having an edge over the other guys.

I love Garrett so glad he's a Panther

if we get Bell, Cravens, or Shepard in the second I will be ecstatic I definitely agree that we will try move up in the second

I didn't call anyone out for having one- I think my message got lost in translation. I'm just saying it's dumb to say, "Wow you're just a joe schmoe what does your opinion matter?" Furthermore, I totally understand why people are intrigued by Henry. He's a Heisman winner and an absolute mammoth of a human being. I'm fine with people liking him.

I actually wasn't referring to you I was referring to Zod, but yea I agree with your post

Again see one of my previous posts; I hate this argument. If Gettleman thinks he is good enough, then great I'm all on the Henry train. I'm saying what I think- hence the whole fuging point of a message board

Jim Brown is one of the best ever to play the game. Is Derrick Henry Jim Brown? I don't fuging know but probability says he is likely not. Again you are gambling your first round pick on the fact that Henry will be the EXCEPTION not the rule. I'm NOT saying Henry won't be good, because I don't know (no one really knows), but I'm just not willing to gamble our first rounder on him. Not when we are so close to winning the whole thing.

also it's a horrible argument to say "oh wow you think you're smarter than Gettleman?" first off, most rational fans have full faith in whoever Gettleman drafts and I'll change my tune on any prospect if they are good enough for Gettles second, he hasn't drafted anyone yet so I'm not sure how you know if he loves a certain guy third, the whole point of this message board is to talk about the Panthers. It would erase the need if every single draft thread began and ended with "LOL u noobz have no idea what you're doing"

so yes I agree but he IS the exception, thank you for proving my point - we see hundreds of RBs in the league every year (including backups and practice squad) and PLENTY of talented large men------so why aren't there more huge RB's I'm not saying Henry won't succeed but that certainly IS NOT the rule- he would be an exception

Here's my simple argument against D. Henry If big RB's are so great- why haven't there been more? Are you willing to bet that Henry is the exception instead of the rule? I'm not- not in the first round.

I think all four of those prospects will be available by the time we pick maybe not Butler - I think a team will surprise people and draft Cravens in front of us, but I'm still not sold we would draft him in the first, maybe a trade up in the second

eesh that schedule looks rough- and you better bet teams are going to bring their A game against next year

I literally never said Shaq was a bad player. All I said was that last year's first round pick was not "In an area of great need". This has nothing to do with Shaq

which he rarely played- now granted the injury played a role in that but Shaq didn't see significant time till the playoffs (Seattle or Arizona- then obviously more once TD got hurt) I'm not saying Shaq wasn't a fantastic pick, but "area of great need" is a stretch

2015 - LB Shaq Thompson - logic does not compute

holdouts don't end well for either party, see Kam and Sea this last offseason

I love your reasoning for the Henry pick, EXCEPT, by the time Greg retires and moves on it will be right about the time Henry is due for a second contract and did you see how much Fleener just got? Now if none of the top pass rushers are there I'd agree we need to look at BPA and Henry would be a great addition to our offense. Lawson in the second is a DEFINITE possibility- the guy reeks of someone draft pundits are rating too high and will fall into the second/late first. Meanwhile, Dodd will go like 11th

I'm actually not a big fan of Lawson

keeping in mind my opinion on the draft changes like 5000 times before the actual draft, I'd be ecstatic with Dodd and I think Gettle would be too Problem is I can definitely see him being a riser and long gone before we pick

We desperately need him to be one, and damn he looked great in the biggest game of anyone's life

my bad

lol what did UNC do to you

If we score >20 points I don't think the Broncos can win this game, their offense is just anemic
