Voth predicts Hunter Henry

[Jeremy Igo]

He is one of the four possibilities, for sure. 

[KJ89]

I want Henry, but I don't think he'll be there at 30. Hope he is. 

[BountyHunter]

Would be comparable to Gronk and Hernandez in NE.  Although a more sane version.  It would be awesome.  Along with KB being back and probably adding another WR/RB along the way, this offense will be almost impossible to stop in the red zone. 

I vote for drafting to 2 Henrys in the first 2 rounds.  Although the DE position will be hard to ignore.  

I'm glad it's DG's decision and not mine.

[BlackCats2013]

This would be the year that we could take Henrys in the first two rounds and there still be plenty of DE's available after

[Khyber53]

I'd really like to see this be the pick. We'd see benefits immediately and for the long term.

Also says trading back with Browns may be an option for extra 3rd rounder and a swap of 3rd rounders to move us up 16 spots.   He said if Coleman is there we run up to put the pick in.   Also mentioned Booker from Utah as a RB we may like instead of Derrick Henry.  

Devontae Booker would be soooooooooooooo good in this offense.

Oh and drafting Hunter Henry?  I'm good with that.

[Nate Dogg]

If Coleman is gone I would like to see them draft Butler or Ogbah and trade up for Hunter in the 2nd or trade down and still grab both of them.

Saw on Twitter that you can get 4/1 odds on a TE going in the 1st. Might be worth throwing some money on that.

I wish he had said if that is what he is hearing, or if it's just a pure guess.  A lot of guesses are made using seemingly sound logic (such as we go TE since we wanted Cook), but ultimately end up wrong because they don't have enough information.

Generally, I don't really like Hunter in the 1st.  He should be an ok TE, but I would prefer a better blocker if we took one that high.  But as always, Gettleman has earned the benefit of the doubt.  So, if he is the pick, then I'll get behind it.

Well, guesses are just that.  He may have some "inside info," as to some of the favorites, but everything depends on people falling/rising during the actual draft.  Same could be said for our actual war room.  They couldn't definitively say who they're picking until #29's pick is in, and they know exactly who will be there.

Yeah, I know.  I just wish I knew when guys make these predictions whether they are based on real info that they have been told, or absolute guesses based on their own reasoning.

That's why I appreciate Igo so much, he has been clear that his four guys are players who he is being told we are interested in.  Nothing's gospel or certain, but it helps those of us not in the know set expectations and manage hope.

Kelvin Benjamin 6'5"

Devin Funchess 6'5"

Greg Olsen 6'5"

Hunter Henry 6'6"

"Big men allow you to compete."  Is there a secondary in the league that is built to stop this much height and athleticism across the entire field?  In the redzone it's going to look like the old Oprah meme, "You get a touchdown, you get a touchdown, everybody gets a touchdown!"

9 times out of 10, Voth has good info.  He's more "in the know" than any of our beat writers.

[Jeremy Igo]

There is a reason Hunter Henry was my initial mock draft pick over a month ago. They do like him a lot. Would love to see the Panthers get back to an effective 2 TE set.
