Definitely can see him as the favorite as the months go on, he has a good chance of being there at 25.

JJ tweeted this earlier as well.

I take all of this with a grain of salt. Panthers coaches and staff will do due diligence with all the players there this weekend. It would not shock me in the slightest to see a DE taken first.

That's said, solid prospect, would be happy with him starting at RT playing next to Trai and developing into to a long term LT. I would not want him to start at LT this season.

The thought of drafting a tackle has never made me so hard.

[TheSpecial1]

Draft his fat ass.

[Panther_Brotherhood]

This makes me moist

Don't think anyone can predict what they will take at 25. It's always a shock but ends up being the perfect pick. Last year they looked at so many people deeply, but then picked KB who it seems they have been hiding in the bushes.

Favourite prospect, ideal first round pick.

Yeah, they smokescreen well when it comes to their picks.  DG is not going to give any indication before he's on the clock.  Exciting!

After years of Hurney not drafting a 1st round DT settling for the classic Dollar Marty 3-4 rounder/UDFA in the middle, I had instant respect and admiration for Getts when he doubled down that year, finally addressing the obvious. I was on the KB bandwagon with a couple others here and he went out and got him and now look!

What is obvious is we need more talent on the offensive line so this is good to hear. All I've got to say is: double up Dave!

[CarolinaNCSU]

Would be ideal. So much of the line revolves around knowing the guy beside you and anticipating his actions...Collins at RT next year beside Trai? Yes, please. 

 

 

Then grab a couple WRs, another OT, and BPA and I'll be ecstatic.

Draft projections are gonna change so much between now and May

I'm just hoping he doesn't shoot out of our range

[saints4life25]

Collins is the real deal. Massive athlete. He'd be a great pick up for the Panthers. He could be a day 1 starter at LT.

[MHS831]

I like him better than Peat and Ogbuehi. 

I figure 5 may go in the first round--to be safe. 

 

In no real order:

 

Scherff

Peat

Flowers (rising)

Clemmings

Collins
