Cornerback Boards

[Untouchable]

Panthers will be heavily interested in the position.  Especially with three of their top corners all set to become free agents after 2 seasons (Bradberry, Cockrell, Seymour).  You can take a look at what scouts are saying about how the CB board is shaping up here:

Quick Summary Here:

-8 CBs expected to be off the board by the middle of Round 2

1. Denzel Ward, OSU (Hands down)

2. Josh Jackson, Iowa

3. Jaire Alexander, Louisville (Combine riser; 2nd on some teams boards)

-Next 5: Mike Hughes (UCF), Isaiah Oliver (Colorado), Carlton Davis (Auburn), Donte Jackson (LSU), Rashaan Gaulden (Tennessee)

-Quenton Meeks (Stanford) & JC Jackson (Maryland) both expected to be selected on second day of draft.

1. Minkah Fitzpatrick, Bama (Viewed primarily as a safety now)

2. Denzel Ward, OSU (Top 15 Selection)

3. Josh Jackson, Iowa/ Carlton Davis, Auburn

5. Mike Hughes, UCF (Late 1/Early 2 range)

-13 CBs projected to be selected in the draft's first 2 days.

No doubt the Panthers select a CB in the first unless a pass rusher drops to them

Last thing we need is for yall to grab another stud. This is why i dont mind addressing the position early, and i hope we can get the best guy from this draft.

I like Oliver as well. He has the abilities to be the next Josh Norman

The Saints have done a good job with the draft last year. And seem to be building their defense which is smart. We are going to have to improve our offense to compensate.  And put more emphasis on our secondary.

So you wake up salty as well? Norman didn't cash a huge check here. Gettleman pulled out the rug and wouldn't negotiate after Norman dumped his crappy agent.

I would be good with Oliver, however I would prefer either Josh Jackson or Jaire Alexander. I think either of the two become our number 1 CB this year. Then let the others battle it out for the number 2 spot. Then have two positional guys to step in and give the 1 and 2 a breather.

Do you have a Josh Norman blow up doll or something?

They make those? Wrong gender for me though. Given your angst did you opt for the voodoo doll variation.

you get poo for making me scroll to read your post

The only consensus among the CBs seems to be Ward as the first.  After that it seems to widely vary amount the next 5 or so.  Some people have Hughes in the top 3.  I've seen Jackson anywhere from 2nd to 5th. 

Teams seem to like different types of CBs so it makes it harder to predict the order they will come off the board.  If teams 2, 3 and 4 all like press type corners then a zone type might fall, or if team 2 likes zone he might go early.

Jaire Alexander is far and away better than Josh Jackson as a prospect. I actually think that Josh Jackson would be a better FS.
