I like Hurst a lot and I'm admittedly a UNC fan, however I don't want him at #28.  I'd LOVE to have him in the 3rd or 4th.  I doubt he's still on the board when we're on the clock in the 4th.  He played LT at UNC, but I think he's a RT in the NFL.  Very fundamentally sound, but I just don't think he's athletically gifted enough to hang with NFL speed rushers on an island at LT.

 

I just don't get the obsession some have with Brandon Coleman.  If the guy wasn't 6'6" nobody would even know his name.  I honestly wouldn't be shocked if he didn't even get drafted, but I expect someone to take a late round flier on him.  I'll be surprised if he goes before the 5th.

Due to our draft position and the projected picks prior to our pick, it is very likely that we go with a different position with our 1st round selection.  

 

I would, at this point, put it at >60% chance we draft someone who is not a WR or OT.  

 

Really? I think it cements either a WR, Tackle or Corner.. Perfect storm for us.

100 % with you on Coleman..That dude is day 3 pick in my mind. If you want to  go off potential and measurables then Benjamin would be the guy.

1. Lee

2. Fuller (well aware he is a CB)

3. Adams 

 

I have studied the hell out of WR'S and Tackles. Corner is next on my list. I was impressed with Fuller when I briefly came across him when watching Games of WR's, but still need to watch some full games of his.

 

I also like Lee a lot as well too. However I disagree on Adams. I know his stats are incredible but his level of competition and having Carr as his QB inflated those stats in a major way IMO.

 

 

Also if anyone wants to form their own opinions of prospects and not just rely on highlight reels and other scouting reports you need to familiarize yourself with this site ASAP.

Based on Rivera's past comments, look for us to target technically sound CBs, not necessarily the guys with ideal measurements.  Seems that Rivera values technique > physical ability.  Though, if there's a guy there at #28 with great technique and measurables who fits into what Rivera wants his CBs to do in his defense, look for Rivera to be a bug in Gettleman's ear to take him.

Some specific quotes I'm referring to:

 

"A lot of people today are winning with 2s and 3s," Carolina coach Ron Rivera said. "Guys that are a true No. 1, like a Darrelle Revis, those guys are hard to find. When you find one, you've got to get him."

 

"Look at the technique," Rivera said. "Why do they have them in these 45-degree stances? Why are they shuffling out? What happened to the true backpedal where you plant and break? Why are they always playing this coverage?"

 

"You put tape on and you could pretty much guarantee this team is always playing this coverage. In our league, some teams don't play as much man. Some teams play more zone. If you grab a corner that has all the skill set but that's not what he's used to doing, now you have to redevelop him and reteach him and he's got to relearn. There's a lot of things that go into play about why it's taking time, or they're just not finding those guys yet."

 

"If you're going to project him or he has potential, then how high do you draft him?" Rivera said. "Now, you take a guy a little bit higher than you should and all of a sudden you have to make it happen. If he doesn't get it or doesn't fit, it's tough."

no problem with any of these guys. not a big cooks fan, but if he can make plays so be it. i just question his outside WR skills. all these guys are first round worthily to me.
