3 round projection has us taking 3 Seminoles.

 

https://www.google.com/amp/draftwire.usatoday.com/2017/01/16/2017-nfl-mock-draft-latest-3-round-projections-2/amp/

 

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.

    • I definitely respect your opinion more than Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, and Carmelo Anthony (whom I just watched on their show, all saying NOBODY wants to get the Hornets in the post-season). You win.
    • For all the good feelings about Bryce Young, when you read between the lines, it's what DC says and doesn't say that makes us know that Bryce hasn't necessarily been the supercomputer that they thought he would be. This season, Bryce has to make a tangible progression on the field. "A big part of it is being able to operate at the line of scrimmage — not in the huddle — when we want to, and he’s certainly capable of that," Canales said about Young. "It’s not solely on him. It’s a group that’s pretty young. You have to trust all the guys to go up there, communicate verbally or nonverbally and execute what we’re doing. We’ve made huge strides in that regard. His ability to alter things based on what they’re giving you will give us another edge, which he’s continued to grow and had some great examples down the stretch where he identified things they were doing, got us to the right check and capitalized on some plays. Want to see him do that more when it’s appropriate. We don’t need to be changing things just to change it." The implications, perhaps insinuations, are pretty evident. Bryce is just going to have to do better. "And then for Bryce, it’s the identification of early on the cues that the defense are giving us, to be able to eliminate parts of your progression before the ball’s even snapped. That happens with time. I’ve seen quarterbacks really own and master, which allows them to play lightning fast." Obviously Bryce isn't necessarily picking things up as fast as Canales would like, and I can only assume that Canales is making comparisons to Russell Wilson, Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield. But, of course, not everyone picks things up at the same rate. Bryce's pace has left Canales wanting for more. During the coming season, I don't believe that it will be good enough for Bryce to start putting things together in December, evidence of the light switch being on is going to have to show itself in September. Basically, it's really the moment that we've all been waiting for, the one that we thought should've happened earlier, the one that brings Bryce's accountability in the spotlight. On an off note, perhaps to that end, we should consider the possible implications upon the draft, but that's another story. Basically, it's time for Bryce to sh¡t or get off the pot. https://roundtable.io/sports/nfl/panthers/news/carolina-panthers-dave-canales-holds-nothing-back-on-bryce-young-in-new-interview
    • Wouldn’t mind Tyson. Definitely prefer him to Sadiq.
