Four Carolina Panthers Round Two Prospects

Would be happy if any of these guys made it to us in Rd 2. TN has 3 picks in the second rd now, I bet they are the most likely candidate for us to trade with depending on how the board breaks in the first rd.

Shepard is the consensus safest pick among these from what I have read. The guy is just a good football player and incredibly strong for his size, I think he had like 20 reps on the bench at the Combine.

Ifedi is a monster, he passes the eye test for sure - not sure if he will make it to the second rd.  I watched him shove some of the AL guys around when A&M played them.  If we dont get this guy, Joe Haeg  might be the pick later, I think he might really be on our radar 4/5 rd if we keep a pick there. 

Bell is projected as a FS in most of the reports I have read, I think he is probably the least likely of these it would seem we are more in need/would take a value pick at SS.  He is a solid cover S if that is what DG is looking for.

But any of these guys would be a good grab in the second rd if DG pulls the trigger.

I agree that all four of those guys are very unlikely to be there at 62.  With those guys being the ones we are after in round 2 a trade up is almost a must.  

I doubt we draft more than 4 players this season, and if we end up with only 3 studs, I'm fine with that. As Igo points out, we will end up cutting good players this season (both Deangelo and Todman had decent runs with the Steelers last season after we cut them). Anyone we bring in needs to be an improvement (within the next couple of seasons) over someone we have, or be a depth player who can make an immediate impact on ST (see Mayo from last draft).

Titans have pick number 33, 43 and 45. 

I think we could easily get 43 or 45. 

Make it happen DG. Would love to move up and get Germain Ifedi or Sterling Shepard. 

According to the "NFL Draft Value Chart", moving from 62 to 45 would cost us our 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 7th round picks. While I agree that it may be worth it for the right player (Shepard?), that's a lot of eggs in 1 basket.

Is that accurate?  I recall trading up in the 2nd last year for Funchess and only giving up our 2nd pick and the 5th?  If this isn't right what did we give upp?  we traded up from 57 to 41 and gave them 57, 39 (3rd), and 201 (6th).   it would cost 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 7th.  Idk.

We traded our 2nd (57), 3rd (89) and a 6th (201) to jump up 16 spots and grab Funchess at 41. the chart is only a basic tool, every GM places different value on picks. Basically, # 252 is next to useless, so I could see us only having a fourth or fifth round pick left. but for 2 top 50 picks...it may be worth it.

    • The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter. 
    • Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
    • I parked in this lot a few times. It would take over and hour to get out of that lot after games. Never again
