#Georgia RB Todd Gurley scheduled to visit the #Panthers. Plans to be ready by late July.

 

Not sure how I feel about this to be honest.

Love it.

There's no telling where he'll go in the draft.  We've had players in for visits plenty of times that were way out of reach, which I think Gurley is.  Not in the first necessarily, but if he makes it to the 2nd, he won't last until our pick.  It makes sense though, because anything could happen, and it's best to know guys for those "just in case" moments.

from Tarrboro, NC. if it meets value, i have no issue with the pick outside of the 1st round

Gman won't take him in the 1st (if available), and he'll be gone when we pick in the 2nd.

Could we go one draft without drafting a RB please.

Let Stewart, Tolbert and Fozzy carry the load

[PanthersUnited]

I'd take him in the 1st over any of the OT prospects, that's what I think about this year's group of OT prospects.

[TylerVagyler]

I really don't see him on our roster next season, but I hope he stays healthy and succeeds in the league.

 

His combination of power, balance, speed and vision is unreal.

We've been linked to both Gurley and Tevin Coleman recently.  Sure looks like we're taking a hard look at a RB early.  Almost certainly not #25 early, but looks like a RB in the 2nd or 3rd round could certainly be in play.

 

I'm not against it.  DeAngelo is gone now and this is very possibly Stewart's last season as a Panther too.  You can't count on him staying healthy anyway.  I'm not sure why RB as a need hasn't gotten more talk.

Due deligence, dude.

Mark of a professional GM.

And a good chance two of those guys, (Stewart and Tolbert) aren't on the roster in 2016 because of their contracts.

 

 

In the first? Hell no. In the 2nd? Tempting. The 3rd? All day. He'll probably go in the 2nd, but gotta cover all bases. Trade down scenario could happen for all we know...and if Gurley is the BPA with our current backfield in question beyond this year...I wouldn't hate jumping on him in the late 2nd if he's clearly the best guy left.

I think taking a rb in the first makes little sense these days. If you have a great o line (which we don't) almost any rb can be effective. What we really need is another legit Wr and o line.

His ACL tear scares me as a 1st round pick.

[panthers34]

What if we traded out of the first round and got a early second rounder and then took Gurley? I'd be okay with that especially if we got another second rounder next year out of it
