who is your source?

I confess.  I told him that.

Seriously, it makes perfect sense.  We are OK at CB (not great, but better), lotta Safeties in second and third, and the G thing is up in the air.  No early RB.  No backup TE....The only way (and I have said this multiple times) to improve the WR corps is to get a stud in the first round. 

I am not a big Kirk fan--unless we trade  back--but I would take the other 2.

I'd argue we are just as 'ok' at WR as we are at CB. Then it comes down to what is more important, your CB3 or your WR3? In our offence, I'd lean towards CB3. Also, I think the 3rd best CB in this draft is much better overall than the 3rd best WR. I see more value in picking a CB this year knowing CBs 1-5 all can probably make a big impact for us this year. However, my vote is still to go with either Daniels or Ragnow so we solidify the LG this year and C position for years to come.

we are NOT OK at CB & much better off at WR...we also need OL help bad

 

I am pretty sure that your OPINION is wrong.  Compare our WR corps to the rest of the league.  Smith?  a journeyman with below average numbers and hands.  Wright? grabbed a whopping 19 balls last year. Samuel?  Fragile so far, may not be ready.

Cockrell had a strong year last year and Bradberry was victimized by blitzing too much.  You can upgrade CB in the second or third--but WR must be done in the first. 

But how you call us "much better off" at WR---we lost Benjamin and replaced him with a deep threat and a blocking slot who averaged a catch a game for 10 yards? 

I disagree with your assessment.

I'm fine with Ridley or Moore in the first, but not Kirk.  He's a second rounder.

I'm fine with a CB like Oliver or Alexander, but don't see value in a 1st round S.

WR, CB or G/C .

And though it's not popular I have no issues with trading our #24 for 2 number twos if they are in the top 40.  We simply have that many holes to fill.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
