Word on the street: Gurley going top 10

Sean Payton's Vicodin

I actually was starting to warm up to the idea of taking him somehow...  Despite the devaluation of the RB position, where it generally makes no sense to ever take one in the first round again, there are exceptions when it comes to REALLY exceptional talents...  Gurley is one of those, so I never really expected him to drop to us.

 

Personally, I think he is going to be the best back drafted since Adrian Peterson.  I see a lot of parallels between the two. 

 

But, I heard Mike and Mike said this morning that in McShay's latest mock that someone is taking Mariota at #2, and it most likely won't be the Jets, and then he has them taking Gurley at #6.

 

There apparently is a huge boost in his stock now that his knee has been checked and is on schedule.

Yeah I kind of realized that from the start so I never really got my hopes up for him. Want Agholor at 25.

Agholor at 25 wouldn't be a bad pick. But I still think the Panthers are going OT in the first. I hope that either Peat or Flowers is still on the board and no doubt in my mind Peat would be the pick.

I'm OK with that.  They still can't rush the passer, and Luke and TD can just about neutralize any back.

 

Yep I'd love for them to continue adding "skill players" and ignoring their lines. Makes our linemen's jobs a whole lot easier.

I'd be fine with Peat there. Don't like Flowers though. 25 may be a slight reach for Agholor but if we want to get him we'd have to take him there. He's by far my favorite wideout prospect outside the top 2.

With all of the Gurley hype around here I feel the same way. He probably will be available when we pick unless the Chargers draft him.

I know the whole injury history is scary, especially with the way Stewart and Williams health has effected our team the past few seasons. I believe the injuries could be over hyped just look at Willis McGahee. I believe Frank Gore was hurt in college as well but I'm not 100% sure.

Adrian Peterson had shoulder surgery and a broken foot in college and he has done well in the NFL.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      I've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.
