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

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.
