Option A: Norman, Darian Thompson, Braxton Miller; Option B: No Norman, James Bradbury, Daryl Worley

Team A is going into 2016 with Josh Norman and Bene Benwikiere starting at corner and also grabs great players like Darian Thompson at safety and Braxton Miller at wide receiver. They don't have to worry about cornerback, so they use top picks on great players in other positions.

Team B is going into 2016 with Bene Benwikere and either Brandon Boykin or a rookie starting at corner after having to spend multiple early picks on James Bradbury and Daryl Worley in hopes that one of them can start in 2016.

 

Which team is in better position going into the 2016 regular season?

No offense taken. How so though?

The scenario involving Norman is easily the better one for 2016.  It's not a fair question.

It makes it seem like our decision was just limited to 2016.  Bradberry and Worley, along with deciding not to sign Norman to a long-term contract, go far beyond just a single season.

You can't make some sort of argument based on a chance event like the Draft with what-ifs. Had we not rescinded the tag, random chips might've fallen differently. 

Or, Gettleman doesn't give a fug, was never going to extend Norman for a ridiculous sum, and was drafting the plumber regardless.

Thompson and Miller are not great players (great ones get scooped up in the upper part of the 1st round), and keeping Norman was a one year solution (and distraction). 

You could 'what if' all day and include guys we could have kept and others we could have drafted, but what's the point, other than just wanting to complain? There's enough to discuss and argue about with the team we have. Living in the past is a waste of time.

    • Personally I think he's a nightmare to cover I think linebackers generally aren't fast enough to keep up with him in coverage and cornerbacks don't have the strength to tackle him one-on-one in physically bring them down which would normally lead to a broken tackle or a nasty stiff arm or just bully ball play sure you could find a receiver with comparable speed like Cooper but he's faster than Cooper sure you can find a wide receiver that is the same size but he's probably More powerful than them and a better blocker.  The size speed athleticism package that he is in is completely unique it's easier to say I'd rather have just a big blocker because we've never seen this type of profile before I'm a risk taker I think you would be God blessed if this was there at 19 I think if you can get a guy that's a tight end who immediately becomes the fastest guy on your offense and at the same time that third wide receiver that can stretch and burn defenses over the top that's the perfect what the Panthers need type weapon.
    • I think you're under selling Sadiq. They are two different players in terms of how they win. Loveland is 2 inches taller maybe 5-6 pounds heavier. Comparing his speed to sadiq.. well your comparing a 4.7 guy to a 4.3 guy I'm seeing a guy that can take a bubble screen from the tight end position and turn it into a house call. I'm not saying the guy is a certified home run pick but I don't think there's really a president's for a comparison for this kind of athlete. It's easy to say this doesn't look like Warren or Loveland because we haven't seen guys that fit this profile The closest you might be able to get is Vernon Davis.  He's not as sure far as those guys were but at 19 I think almost everybody is going to have some warts and he's a lottery ticket of could be top 10 in the draft player or could fail I am more of a risk taker I think he fits the athletic profile that could be a homerun, like I said he's almost 40 lb bigger than Cooper and like 4-5 in taller than Cooper so and he's faster. So whatever you think Cooper gives you I think he does that and more. If you want to go with one of the office alignment I can understand that as well but for value as a receiving threat I don't think there's a bigger value at number 19.
