How early would you draft players with injury/character issues?

Just curious if you all were GMs for the Panthers where would you draft these prospects or would they even be on the board? Let's pretend you could trade up or back to get them. Where is the earliest you would get them?

 

Ross

Sidney Jones

Butt

Dalvin Cook

Dede Westbrook

Joe Mixon

Cam Robinson (Just added: Weed and gun possession. Thanks @top dawg)

Ross and Mixon, I'd take in the second round.

Jones in the third/fourth depending upon the board

 

Butt maybe in the fourth, but definitely by the fifth.

Cook would have to be taken by the fifth I'd think. Too much value!

For me, it's all about value. With character concerns, it's value plus risk-reward.

Edit: On second thought, Westbrook wouldn't be an option.

Relative to our picks...

Ross at 40 or a slight trade up.

Jones is a tough one. Maybe at 64, but an Achilles just scares me long term.

Cook- too low to get him. Comp pick or possibly 64 if desperate.

Butt- 5th

Mixon and Westbrook- don't want either to ever step foot near my team at any price.

 You might want to add Cam Robinson. I don't think what he did screams bad character, but some do. If he was there in the second, I'd take him in a heartbeat. If he, Mixon or Ross were there, I'd still probably take Mixon, but it would be a tough decision.

it doesn't matter you're going to face the same scrutiny no matter where the player is taken.

Might as well take your guy where you have him ranked.

I'm just taking value into account. The lower they fall, the lower the risk to my pocketbook.

What did Cam Robinson do again? I know he was involved with something but it hasn't been as talked about as Mixon, Cook and Westbrook.

I think that Robinson's and Mixon's character concerns are overblown. Unlike Westbrook and Cook, they don't have a history. I feel that that matters, and I feel that it should matter to everyone. But...we all have our lines in the sand.

Yup agreed

Would have to do a thorough investigation on all of them, but I'd have to spend a few days with Cook, Westbrook, and their friends & fam to really try to get a feel on them. Even with that, Westbrook would probably be off my board. With that being said:

Ross: Id run up to the podium in the 2nd to pick him.

Jones: 3rd

Butt:4th

Cook: 3rd

Mixon: Run up to the podium with my 2nd 2nd rd pick if he was available.

Westbrook: pass

It's a fine line that's for sure. Daryl Worley was drafted by us after being arrested for domestic violence and pleading no contest. Nobody really has given two shits about it since he was drafted. Now the same people who don't care about Worley would never draft players with a DV record. Personally, I would keep Robinson on the board and take off Cook, Mixon and Westbrook. I just don't want the scrutiny bc they are higher profile players and their situations would be talked about constantly.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
