Best and Worst picks for NFCS teams?

[PntherPryd]

With tampa at #1 overall ,  the aints with 5 picks in first 3 rounds and the falcons with a top pick I'm curious which players Panther draftniks   "least prefer"  entering our division versus picks they "hope" the competition will make in Round one?

 

 

tampa:  Not sure if "fear" is the right word but Winston will make the Bucs a tough out for many seasons to come.  His size and accuracy just can't be cloned or picked up in FA.  It may or may not pay off in year one but this is the biggest no brainer of the draft.  My biggest hope is the Bucs find a way to not pick Winston.  Even if that means a trade and a butt load of picks, I would prefer that scenario to Winston in a gawd awful turdish-orange jersey.

 

 

saints:  With two #1 picks the smart thing to do would be to shore up their defense.  I just don't think Payton will use both 1's on D.  My "worst scenario" has them drafting DT Armstead at 13 and picking up a falling Gregory at 31 or even Kevin Johnson (who matches Payton's "we need defensive starters right away") pitch.  Would not be surprised to see them add DGB at 31 and not a fan of that scenario either.  Would much prefer to see them go with WR at 13 even if it meant watching Davante Parker or Kevin White twice a year.  At 31 a Payton reach for a "qb of the future" would be pure gold to watch.

 

 

falcons:  with Dan Quinn on board I am confident they will go defense, but if Cooper falls can they resist?  I hope not.  Either Fowler or Beasley would be my "least preferred picks", and even though Cooper is a hell of a player I'd love to see them forced to go offense in round one.  If not Cooper or an offensive reach I'd root for the CBS mock showing Shane Ray to the falcons.

 

 

I don't follow the draft nearly as well as a lot of you guys so curious to see other opinions.

Let the Sucs pick Winston. I'm not sold on him.

The Gregory pick will depend on how the Saints feel about him. If they feel comfortable with the drug tests, he'll be the pick at 13. A duo of Gregory and Kendricks at 31 would be outstanding in my opinion. But Gregory could be swapped for Bud Dupree.

Mike D says the Saints are very high on DGB, but I can't see them taking a receiver in the first. Not after investing in Cooks last year and the way they've been preaching defense. Maybe if he's there at 44.

Beasley is absolutely my least preferred pick for the Falcons. He's basically the ideal player for the LEO position in Dan Quinn's new defense. the LEO is basically a weakside DE in a 4-3 whose only job is to get upfield after the passer which is exactly what Beasley excels at. There is very little responsibility against the run.

 

I'd be thrilled if they picked Shane Ray who it appears they do have some serious interest in.

As long as the Bucs don't pick Leonard Williams. He and McCoy would be terrifying.

I really hope they do take Jamies. lol
