Like I said we'll see in a couple of years 

Are you saying that is who you would pick?

Personally I think he might be in consideration more then some on here think, a lot is going to be determined by who goes before us.  I'm not convinced he is going to be an elite LT but what if he becomes an elite RT, how much value is there in that? 

He might be working on his footwork right now and show up at the combine and help himself, who knows.

The problem with LTs is that they are usually over drafted, very rarely are you going to get so called value from one.  At any given point in the draft you there will probably be a player of another position on your board with a higher grade.  At some point you just to decide how much you are willing to overdraft relative to what is out here to fill other needs.

I can't think of any other position that there seems to be such a deficiency in outside of maybe QBs.

By no means am I saying we should use the 8th pick on one, but if we are waiting for the perfect player at the perfect spot we might be waiting for awhile.  Maybe we overdraft in the 2nd or 3rd.

I'm not saying for sure that's who'd I'd pick, but I certainly believe he's worthy of the pick. We'll see how free agency shapes up. I've seen many players "dismissed" over the years only to come out and ball. Cam Robinson is good now and is only going to improve, has an extremely high ceiling

I like Robinson but I rather have Fournette

      Processing Blue: immediate draft needs

      By Basbear · Posted

      He's a hard player to rank, cause he is a young NT. I do see his abilities to branch out among the DL. That's the only way for him to land in the 1st, some team has to believe he's got the stuff to play DE or T3.... I just don't see using 19 on him, I feel there should be around 7 players just ranked higher than him for the Panthers team.  ___________________________________________________________________   Now you are a roster nut like me. Im tossing this into fire, I think a good move is to trade UP, yes rare. Just the roster #s tell me 5 rookies and no more than 2 starters will make the team. I feel 5 is magic number.    QB- 2  BY, Pickett RB- 3   Chubba, Brooks(pls), etienne TE- 4   Sanders, Temble, Evans, Draft pick/major/franks/UDFA OL- 10   Walker, Lewis, Fortner, Hunt, Motown, Zavailla, Samac, Stone, Draft pick, Draft pick/Charles/carter WR-  6   Tmac, XL, Coker, Metch, Horn, Tremay   offense=  25 with 3 draft picks   DL-  6   Brown, Brown, Wharton, Ray, Cam, Hunter/draft pick Ed-   5  Phillips, Nic, Prince, Jones, ST/incoom/hampton ILB-   5  Lloyd, Wallace, Bam, Claud, draft pick CB-    5 Horn, Jackson, Thor, Evans, draft pick/CSN/UDFA SS-  4  Scott, More, Ramsom, Sim   Defense = 25 with 2 picks   ST = known 3+o+d = 53 roster   SO I see only room for 5-6 with factoring in UDFA pool. That tells me to trade up! Bonus the 1st+3rd gets in front of TB yucs. Then use one of the 5ths+2nd to draft another target. That's your two starters and use the 4th, 5th and 6th for the development OTs and what ever the best player are at the pick/DB. The last couple years they have added 2-3 UDFA each year, maybe the same this year too. Soooooooo Im normally 95% trade back, but above made me change my mind. I do not want to waive 5th rounder, I feel thats high with players on the bench.    ?? There's waiver claims too, they have done that each year.
