I don't think safety is out of the question at all. We've been kicking the tires on highly rated safeties for awhile now.

I think the pick is DE, S, or RB.

Yeah, report is we would have taken Barron at #9 in 2012 if he was still there (thank God we ended up with Luke). 

That was under a different GM but essentially the same group of scouts. Point is I don't think we pass on a player that high simply because of the position he plays (besides P or K).

It's crazy what going out and signing quality free agents can do for a team (Falcons offense) huh?  Instead of letting go of an All-Pro and literally doing nothing else.  

I think DG realized when Norman left we were screwed. This year we need to address things and build a team to win a championship. Falcons and Broncos prove you have to spend money.

Adams is thee guy to get for us outside of Garrett. Problem is..... I really doubt Adams is there at 8, so even though SAF is a huge need, I think we need to look at alternatives.

This is a deep SAF class... Adams, Hooker (doesn't make sense with Coleman), Peppers (not a fan, but is talented), Budda Baker (love this kid bigtime), Evans, Melinfonwu looks interesting, and Fish Smithson and Kai Nacua are sleepers that intrigue me quite a bit. 

I personally think we grab one in FA.... I've wanted Johnathan Cyprien since draft day and would love the opportunity to bring him in.  Tony Jefferson, Matt Elam, DJ Swearinger, Micah Hyde and Duron Harmon are all possibilities too.

This x10000

Several things.  Some are beating the "have to pressure matt ryan" too much.  Our D wasnt the strongest but they were one of the top as far as getting to the QB.  Think we re-sign Addison and have this same group back.  We actually sacked Ryan as many times as Julio had receptions (with a healthy Bradberry) game 2

Game 1 was a implosion.  Theres a reason why Bene was cut after that and didnt last long  in Miami and Bradberry (our Norman replacement was out)

Game 2 when Bradberry played  Julio had 4 catches on 7 targets for 60 yards.and ZERO TDs

Now what Zod referred to was the help in run support and check down catches to RBs and TEs.

Not lets go back to that ATL game.  Freeman and Coleman combined for 11 catches on 11 targets and 80 yards.  Also Coleman had a 55 yard TD run as a result of a poor attempt by a Safety where Boston essentially took Bradberry out of the play in pretty much a pick.

 

Adams is one of the better Safeties to come out in a while hes going to make a impact .  Using Clowney is a terrible example.  Clowney is a DE amd that is a position that generally takes longer to make the transition.  And on top of that was Raw generational athlete but succeeded only because his athletic ability in college, he actually got shut down a decent ammount due to lack of skills.  One of Adams biggest skills is his Football IQ, work ethic.  Those 2 things remind of a certain LB we drafted around here whose biggest strengths were the exact same thing.  Adams is WAY more hyped than Kenu Neal for ATL he was Solid this year as a rookie.

Adams will fall to us IMO

1. Cleveland goes Myles Garrett

2. SF goes Trubisky

3 Chicago goes Kizer

4 Jax goes Fournette.  Team has invested a ton on the D and needs to get the you g QB they are trying to build around some help Fournette is hype as the next AP.  Coughlin who is in the front office loves to build the offense around the run game

5 Tenn goes Mike Williams Mariotta still doesnt have a go to guy.  Williams stock has shot up after the Bama game.  Mariotta gets his go to guy

6 Jets- Marshon Lattimore

7 Chargers go Hooker- chargers Hired Gus Bradley.  Hooker is a rangy FS what Bradley Loves in his D see Earl Thomas

8 Adams is there for us to take

You think that Kurt isn't vet enough?

Although I do agree with you.  Personally, I wanted us to grab Weddle last year.

I think Coleman was fine as long as he was allowed to roam the field and provide double coverage and had someone making the coverage calls. His man coverage is suspect and his ability to line up the defense appears average at best. I think he needs to go back to free safety and we need a vet strong safety who can lay the lumber as has good man coverage skills.

      A look at the Panthers remaining schedule after the trade deadline

      By PleaseCutStewart · Posted

      In all honesty, outside of the Saints games, I don't think we will be favored in any remaining game (unless Tampa is playing their backups against us week 18)

      Rough back half of the schedule. NFC West looks like the best division (up there with NFC North), Tampa has been very good this year (despite their injuries), and I can't remember the last time we swept the season series with Atl (easily more than 10 years). I think we go 8-9 - beat the Saints twice and go 1-1 against the Bucs.

      Quarterbacks vs Lottery Tickets

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Quoted rom one of the many Bryce threads... Wanted to reply to this, but since my answer turned into a go route (i.e. went long) I thought I'd put it in a separate thread. So here's my take on the names mentioned above...and a few others. ... Lance was a prototypical "take an athlete and teach him to play quarterback" example who now serves as an example of why that's a bad idea. Worth remembering that Lance was given to a coach heralded as a QB guru with a friendly system. In the end though, even that potentially ideal situation wasn't enough. And the fact those events were followed up by said guru taking his team to the Super Bowl with a QB who went undrafted helps bolster the folly.of that approach. But then you have Wilson, an actual quarterback with off the charts passing skill. This guy's sure to succeed, right? Well...wrong, which demonstrates that even the right skill set doesn't guarantee success.  Could Wilson have succeeded in a better situation under better coaching? Unknown, but it's a question I find myself asking a lot. (See also: Levis, Will) Rosen falls into the Ryan Leaf / Ryan Mallet category, i.e. don't hand the keys to your billion dollar franchise over to a dickhead. Character matters, and not strictly in the 'upright citizen vs thuggish criminal ' way. (I could add maybe don't draft guys with the first name 'Ryan' unless they went to Harvard, and even then only in the 7th round) Darnold is another guy who likely could have benefited from a better situation / coaching (see also Carr: David). Heck, it also might have helped to send him to The Wizard and have him ask for "da noiv", or perhaps to Egon Spengler and company to chase away any and all "ghosts". Sending him to Matt Rhule? 😬 Yeah...definitely not the answer 😕 But hey, at least he's doing better now. (ttill playoff time, anyway) Mind you, Drew Brees does serve as proof that guys who land in less than ideal - or just flat out lousy - situations early on can indeed resurrect their careers later on in better surroundings. Will Darnold go that far? Unknown, but we do know it's possible. Kenny Pickett (also known by the X-Men moniker 'Littlehand') is that proverbial great college quarterback who for one reason or another just doesn't cut it in the pros.  (gotta say, feels like the past several drafts have put forth a lot of that particular QB archetype) Mac Jones could arguably carry this label as well, though I'm waiting to see how things play out in San Francisco. For now, Jones might be a better example of why you should always be cautious and skeptical of guys from certain systems. Justin Fields is a cell in that spreadsheet column, as is Kyler Murray. Now I'm sure someone here will mention another certain quarterback we're all quite familiar with as a prime example of this subset too 😐 Fair point, though I think he, Murray and Tagovailoa work better under the heading of "Davids". What's a David? It's a guy you send to battle against a "Goliath". And by all means, bet on that guy if he's a shepherd.  If he's a quarterback, though? 🤔 Root for him, encourage him, appreciate his courage and be inspired by him... ...but don't draft him. The return on investment might be a great story, but it's not likely to be one that involves championships and rings. ... Bottom Line? You've no doubt heard the saying "this ain't rocket science".  Well, I'd argue saying "this ain't quarterback evaluation" might truly make a better negative metaphorical comparison. At least with rocket science, it's science. You're working with things that have some level of consistency, even predictability. Stuff like chemistry, physics, metallurgy, etc. Things that have rules. Human beings?  Specifically young male athletes with competing amounts of ego and testosterone, who've generally been heavily catered to a lot of their lives, and have now been handed large sums money and a portal to fame... Yeah, good luck with that  Heck, you might get better odds buying a Powerball ticket, or perhaps playing a roulette wheel at a Vegas casino 😖 (gambling involves risk; please play responsibility; for help with gambling addiction call the Gambling Hotline at 1-800-522-4700)
