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.

      Rookie season being key to uour argument. I didn't at all mislead about the talent Cam had to work with. Kalil was a great center. Olsen was a great TE. Our WRs were probably the worst in the league. Cam still won MVP, we went 15-1, and we went to the SB. Your attempt to bring up Cam to defend Bryce is desperate and clownish. Bryce has more talent to work with and has done WAY less.

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
