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.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I mean, no I’m not going to panic when he got 2 Qs and looked great in 1 and looked not great in another (let’s not mention the drop).    Yeah we finally have a team that would be considered average offensively around him. Let’s roll this season.

      The woe is me everything but Bryce sucks mantra is stale af my friend. Look nobody here is going to argue with the fact Frank Reich was not a good head coach. At the same time. Bryce Young is now in his second season with his second coaching staff and a handpicked young offensive head coach who has been known for working with QB's such as Baker and Geno. As far as the offensive pieces around Bryce we have the 4th highest salary cap allocation (that might be even higher now after the new Moton deal) dedicated to the OL in the entire league. We have 2 first round WR's one of them 8th overall the first time we've ever selected a WR that high in franchise history. And the fact of the matter is Bryce Young did not have a good preseason. It's not the first time it's happened either. We all hope to see he and the rest of the team flip a switch in week 1. But we should all be able to agree that the offensive performances we've seen from the entire QB room (Bryce included) in preseason was simply unacceptable.

      We have seen Bryce play… what… 9 games with AT BEST what one would consider NFL average WRs? You just can’t see the forest for the trees and keep going back to your lazy take of revisionist history.    he looked AWFUL Y1 with the worst coaching I’ve ever seen in the NFL and one of the weakest WR rooms I can recall. He looked awful first half of y2 and great second half of y2 with average coaching and average skill position. I don’t know where this elite talent argument even comes from.
