Jon Snow

It's still ongoing. It seems there's a large contingent of Penn St. fans on here.

He seems to be the player they've shown the most interest in so far. He fits the system perfectly and fills a huge need. The best case scenario would be to trade back a few spots of course so it would feel more palatable. I think that's what they are hoping for. I also think they are fully prepared to pull the trigger if they cannot.

I'm sticking by my prediction that if they are stuck at 8 they will take the safety from SC. I'll even go so far as to say that they will take him even if Walker is on the board. How do you like me now?

Mike pretty much nailed what the Panthers need and who's a better fit in the 1st round.

I think that is what they want to do if they cannot land Walker. If you just go off visits alone one would think Emannwori is who they really want. Trading with Dallas would be best case scenario for the Panthers in this draft.

In this scenario the hope would be to swap 1st and 2nd round picks with Dallas and still get who they want on day 1.

Nick Emmanwori would be the Panthers pick in this scenario.

Is he worth it? Maybe. I know the team is seriously interested in him or they wouldn't have met with him 3 times. He's the best safety in this draft and 1 of only 2 safties that are day 1 worthy picks. The way I see it is that the team has the option of taking a player at a position that is a huge value to draft. That's edge, tackle, qb or wide receiver. Ask yourself who in this class of day 1 picks could benefit the Panthers the most to draft. Now look at the visits and see what positions they have put the most time in day 1 players. Two things stand out to me. They are focusing on defense and it's OLB and a safety. I think it comes down to 3 players and they are Walker, Stewart and Emmanwori. Everyone else is smoke and mirrors.

The problem with saying bpa is who's bpa are you talking about? The term bpa is always in the eyes of the beholder. When I look at all the projected day 1 selections I see 2 that stand out. The next guy could go 4 or as far down as 32. It's that wide open the way I see it. If you want my honest opinion Cam Ward is a day 2 qb and is lucky he's the best of the group.

I think you just have to decide on who you really want out of the day 1 players regardless of where there are slotted to go and just take them when you are on the clock.

After Carter and Hunter there are about 20 other players that could be bpa. It just a matter of team need/preference.

I'm retired so I have 6 Saturday's every week.

Ima gonna throw a name out there for you guys to smoke over. Nick Emannwori. Remember that name.

The list is too long. You are assuming none of those guys will go before our pick. If you know all of them will be available then who was selected over them and why? I'm not trying to bust your balls here. I think if you want to play this game you have to commit to who's going in the first 7 picks so we have to do some work. I may not want any of these guys and go in a completely different direction. Then again, I'm a little tipsy and it's not even 7 pm yet.

The list is incomplete without knowing the first 7 picks. You are asking me to only pick from the players on your list. That's just another way of saying who I want from only this group.

Who's the first 7 off the board?

If he's in the draft room he's meddling. He may be out of the spotlight but I guarantee he is involved to some extent.

Are you kidding? Joe didn't write that AI wrote it for him.

Cam Jordan said something on GMFB this morning I didn't know that took qb off the table for NO. He said that NO has not taken a qb in the 1st round since Archie Manning.

My money is on Walker being our pick if he's there and Stewart if he's not.

I'm rooting for him. The odds are against him but I love an underdog story.

So from looking at the visits it appears it's Walker if he's there at 8. It could possibly be McMillan or Stewart if he's not and the team cannot trade down. If they can trade down a bit it will add Stewart, Nolan, Emmanwori/McMillan. It appears a trade down is plan B if Walker is not there. If plan A and B are off the table it's a S, WR or DT as plan C.

They will take Mykel Williams if they want another Luvu.

All i know is they are not getting any help in this draft. They would be better off taking a flyer on a qb day 2 or 3 and just taking someone else in the 1st.

There's not really anyone in this draft that will be an improvement for them. If the Giants do not take Sanders he may not be picked until day 2. This is a really bad qb draft.
