My money is on Kevin Johnson in the 1st.

Kevin Johnson just makes too much sense. First he is your prototypical size at CB, he is a ball hawk and a great all around corner, if he is there, he might very well be BPA at our pick. Not only that but if Norman has another good year he could command a pretty sizeable contract.

I see Norman as this year's Greg Hardy (minus the off field stuff ofcourse) in that he might just be one of those really good players that Gman just isnt willing to break the bank for.

Kevin Johnson is Josh Norman insurance. Not to mention Norman is 27 going on 28 while Kevin Johnson will be only 23 by the time the NFL season starts and will be cheaper by a wide margin on his rookie deal. In my mind Kevin Johnson just makes too much sense. Great size, great CB and might very well be BPA. Picking him would have a ripple effect, not only will we be getting a great CB, we will have a lot of cap savings in having him replace a older Josh Norman at fraction of the cost. Oh and we also visited with him twice.

I'm not even sure he'll be there at 25. Also, he is a pretty terrible tackler and I don't know how much Gettleman values that in a CB. Could drop him down our board a bit if he really values that.

Couldn't disagree more about his tackling skills. He's a very good all around player.

But I don't take Wake Forest players high. They usually don't improve much in the pros. KJ has been at Wake now five years and he probably understands the game as well as you could expect. Physically, he won't get much stronger. And mentally, I don't think there is a lot of room for improvement. Wake prepares their kids well, even as talent deficient as they are.

Bottom line-- WF players almost always disappoint in the pros. Aaron Curry, Alphonso Smith, Chris Givens, Brandon Ghee, Kenny Moore, the list goes on and on.

This makes no sense.

 

Hardy's off field stuff is the reason Gettleman (and the rest of the league) "just isn't willing to break the bank".

 

You can't say Norman is this year's Hardy "minus the off field stuff" because then there is no comparison.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By carpanfan96 · Posted

      Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.

      Because he won't be here next year, we aren't winning this year and we need to see if Renfrow or Horn can be that guy going forward. If Bryce isn't good enough to do poo without AT we need to find that out this year as well. I'm fine keeping him but his role needs to be slowly reduced throughout the year anyway so we know what we have for the future
