3 round projection has us taking 3 Seminoles.

8. Carolina Panthers: Dalvin Cook, RB, Florida State

 

40. Carolina Panthers: DeMarcus Walker, EDGE, Florida State

 

72. Carolina Panthers: Roderick Johnson, OT, Florida State

 

Cook in the 1st round is a solid pick and has been discussed here before.  I wouldn't be unhappy with this pick.

 

Roderick Johnson in the 3rd would be nice to have blocking for Cook as they have worked together for a few years.  Can he start right away?  I don't know.  Would need Oher to hang around for at least one more year or bring in a vet to bridge the gap.

 

DeMarcus Walker in the 2nd?  Heck yeah.  Superb edge rusher that has versatility to play DL with his long arms in passing situations.  Some have him sneaking into the 1st round.  Charles Johnson's replacement?

 

3 Noles.  Discuss . . . Ready, set, go.

The only RB that should be considered in the top 10 is Fournette. I would be pretty pissed if we take Cook at 8. The other two would be decent picks though 

Fournette was already off the board in this draft.  Maybe Malik Hooker taken 2 picks later by the Bills would have suited you better?

Cook may be a top 10 back, but I don't think he fits what we're trying to do, so I agree.

Yeah, I just have a hard time taking RB so high. There are amazing RBs that come out of nowhere so often that taking one top 10 better damn near be a lock hall of famer to be worth it.

David Johnson- 3rd round

Jamaal Charles- 3rd round

Le'veon Bell- 2nd round

LeSean McCoy- 2nd round

Devonta Freeman- 4th round

Hell, guys like Arian Foster and Willie Parker went undrafted. To make a top 10 pick worth it, you better damn sure be getting the next Adrian Peterson or LaDanian Tomlinson. Otherwise it's just not worth drafting that position so high.

So am I the only person that isn't keen on picking a RB in the first round? Honestly think there could be a much better pick than that at #8. 

I do agree but still wouldn't be disappointed with Cook. Malik Hooker or Solomon Thomas are the only other two left on the board at this point that I would consider a good pick for us.

If you're putting it like that, I'd definitely not pick Cook. Especially with a day one starter like Hooker. Heck even Thomas.

    • You could say that-- but if we don't need a starting OT this year, why would you draft a flawed one that is not going to play? (We are coming from different underlying assumptions and perspectives--I see your argument and don't disagree with the premise) Your thinking is based on the assumption that an OT for the future is more important than immediate needs at other positions, or that we can meet other needs in later rounds even if we take the OT in round 1.  I do not think there is but 1 OT worthy of a first-round grade---they are mocked based on need and demand--if we do not have a need for a starter right now, a team at 18 may grab a T that is the 33rd best player--worth it if you have no starting T, but not if you have a starter.  So just because they are mocked around the middle of the first it does not mean that the players are good values--teams get desperate.  QBs are a great example.  Simpson may be worth it in round 1 for the Cardinals, but not the Jets, because they have Geno Smith.  Sure, they will need a QB by next year, but taking Simpson is a reach. I do not see our need, with 2 starters (Walker and Moton) and another possibly returning by the end of the season enough to justify ranking OT over positions like Safety, Will LB--I do not think we replaced A Shawn Robinson (We gonna put a NT out there?  Wharton (280lbs)?  So do we reach in round 1 for a player who may not play much or do we get a Will LB that can cover?  A deep free safety?  A quality center? A playmaking TE?  A DT to replace Robinson?  A wide receiver to balance the secondary?  Long term, if the right player was there, you would be right.  Short term, OT is a luxury at this point, in my view.  
    • Put Huey P Newton on the helmet. With his AK. 
    • We arent switching. Evero is 3-4 to the core. Given how 3-4 has been a noticeable characteristic of top defenses recently and we have drafted and signed players fir it  I dont know why anyone would think that's a good idea
