Predictions for the 2015 NFL Draft

Recommended Posts

BR posted their NFL Draft 2015: Updated Order and Predicting Key Decisions That Will Shape Board:

 

They have everyone in order up through Detroit and Arizona at #23 and #24 picks.

 

Guess who they have at #25?  Panthers.  (In other words, BR is already making a guess as to how the Top 8 teams are going to level out -- with Patriots at the top of the list.)

 

They say that we're going for Sammie Coates, WR Auburn.  

Or maybe we're picking TJ Clemmings, OT Pittsburgh

 

T.J. Clemmings is 6'5" and 305 pounds. Carolina's run game was strong toward the end of the season with Jonathan Stewart doing most of the heavy lifting, but adding Clemmings on the offensive line would make running the ball even easier. He's fast enough to hold his own against speedy edge-rushers, allowing the Panthers to run more sweeps and pitch plays to his side.
 

 

NFL.COM also has us at #25 (with the Seahawks at the top), with our top needs being a pass rusher, OT, and CB

 

 

DraftSeason says we should get La'El Collins OT, LSU

 

The Panthers have to get their offensive line squared away in this year’s draft.  Collins is a tough mauler who will likely start his career on the right side of the line.

the last time we took an OT from pittsburgh it worked out well so i'm down

 

 

There is some good offensive linemen in this years draft class. I have faith the Gettleman will select a good one, if we go that route with our firstround  draft choice. No matter which position  he selects,i have the utmost confidence in Dave obtaining the player that will benefit us the most.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
