Amari Cooper, WR

Junior, Alabama
At the risk of opening the door to Matt Millen jokes, the Panthers double down at WR, after using their 2014 first-rounder on Kelvin Benjamin. Plain and simple, they need much more help for Benjamin out wide. True, they also need multiple upgrades along the O-line, but this is a best-player-available case -- Cooper can be an NFL No. 1 and would give Carolina a reliable top option to pair with Benjamin's boom-or-bust game.

 

Love it.

Cooper is my dream pick but I just can't imagine him being there when we pick.

 

to get Cooper, we really need the Rams to finish ahead of us. Those guys are the biggest threat. Titans could draft him but they need help everywhere so it's a wildcard. Jets need help at WR but they'll probably rebuild completely and start with Mariotta.

Yup.

Titans most likely won't take Cooper since they already spent two high picks on Wright and Hunter. Their problem is a lack of QB. If the choose to not go with one, they will most likely be looking at Landon Collins or a pass rusher.

St. Louis is the only major threat to take Cooper atm. They might stick with Davis at QB for another year and wait till the 2nd for a QB. Tavon isn't a no1 WR so having a guy like Cooper will open that offense up a lot.

Let's hope that DGB choose to enter the draft. St. Louis may be better off going:

(1) Cook

(2) DGB

Knowing how Fisher tends to overlook trouble players in the past.

If you look at the Giants in all the years that DG was there, 1st round tackles are rare.  WR's, DE's, and secondary are more often the pick.

 

I want the line to be solidified more than anyone, but if I had to bet, I would say playmaker

 

The problem with the OT's is that they are being picked like QB's.  By that, I mean that they are over valued and drafted too high.  DG said as much last year.  He won't draft a guy rated as a second rounder with the 15 pick in the draft.  This happened last year with all the OT's going too early.  They have struggled this season also.

 

Santreal Henderson, a 7th rounder, has done better than all the first rounders from last draft in my opinion

Bah, G-man would have overlooked Matt Kalil.

Exactly.

I've said that for the last two years. NYG have a history of not drafting OTs in the 1st round.

Also, If you just look back at the past two drafts later round guys like Bakhtari and Henderson are outplaying a lot if these top picked OTs. I'm not saying that will go true for next year but you could still find solid OTs in the mid rounds.

If Cooper is there, you take him over any of the OTs available. I don't care who it is. Cooper should be the no1 pick in 2015 anyways.

I would go:

FA - Joe Barksdale, RT

Draft - (1) Cooper (2) Flowers / Sambrailo / best OT

      Most hated teams

      After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
