Doubt this is the route we take but I'd go William Jackson III

The Norman results says no way...

Butler Fuller Henry

For real, If we pick offense, it's Derrick Henry tho.

Ogbah or Dodd. Noah Spence should be an option too.

 

Not sure why William Jackson III is getting votes. He's an awful fit for our system. We'd take Fuller before him.

I don't see why he should. I highly doubt he's that high on our board.

Well, I see it as he truly is the best player available  on offense. The OT after Conklin are trash. I'd rather sit and wait for Haeg, Beavers, or Shell. For me, realistically for us meaning guys outside of the top 15 projected the best players for the panthers are Lawson, Dodd, Rankins, Butler, Treadwell, VH3, and then....Derrick Henry.

A zone defense isn't exactly particle physics. This isnt like people talking up an obvious 34 player like Butler.

As a 5 or a nose?

I voted for Vernon Butler but only because you didn't give me the ability to vote for Bama center Ryan Kelly.

If Kelly was there, the thought of NippleShorts running to the podium is both frightening and intriguing.

Um, lots of man coverage CBs struggle when they have to learn/play zone. There is different techniques and keys involved.

Looking at his tape(video cutups), he looks much better as a press man CB than off zone coverage.

Can he learn/develop? Of course but I'm pretty sure the Panthers would rather to use a 1st rounder on a CB who is more comfortable which zone concepts already.

Gettleman has spoken openly a number of times about not critiquing players over what they were never asked to do. If this was a case where a player had a skill set that simply didn't fit what we do it would be one thing, but it isn't. You don't draft players over what you project they will be this year.  That Observer article gives the impression Ogbah may be the pick so I don't think it really matters either way.

Butler is the perfect 1 technique player. And perfect for the 4-3.
