In my dream mock which gives us a choice between Barnett and Fournette, he goes #7 to the Chargers (won't call them San Diego anymore), who, because they lost to the Browns, have that choice of Adams (for now).

Pull for the Bucs, Bengals, Chargers, and ignore Eric Berry or any other real difference maker at safety which are in more supply than some other positions  and then we'll see.

The only pro ready DE in this draft is a top 3 pick. The rest are crap shoots. I say take the sure thing with a top 10 pick.

 

Barnett is pro ready and at only 20 has room to grow.  Best of both worlds.  If you set Reggie White's sack mark while playing in the SEC you are pro ready.  He lived in Nebraska's backfield as well yesterday.  http://www.omaha.com/huskers/football/a-sour-note-huskers-have-no-answers-for-tennessee-qb/article_e355e110-cee6-11e6-86f1-e767333b850b.html

He won't be around when we pick. One of the things that makes him so great is his situational awareness and ability to line the secondary up.  He would indeed be a day one starter, and would give us the leader in the secondary we need.  Likely will go to TN or San Diego.

I love Fournette, but Adams is the LSU player I would rather have on the Panthers.

Surprisingly, many mocks are having him at 17 and such now. Barnett is the one who may likely not make it to us.

I seriously don't know. An edge rusher who has the ability to be an every down DE foe us in the first, or an immediate impact at safety.

I do think safety is our biggest need, and we could likely get Adams. Barnett is another guy I'm looking at.

Ugh why are there so many good players to choose from now.

      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.
