If we trade back I would love Kinlaw. If we stay at #7 and we pick Kinlaw over Brown I will be furious...but I’m just a sucker fan so it really doesn’t matter.

[LinvilleGorge]

Honestly, I wouldn't have any major issues with it. Glad someone else can recognize that this roster is nowhere close to being able to actually put a DL on the field.

I have no insight into the Panthers brain trust's thoughts. However, I suspect that many "experts" are overvaluing Brown and undervaluing Kinlaw. Having said that, I think I will be a tad disappointed with either pick at #7. Of course, that is perfectly consistent to my feelings about this whole off season.

I think Kinlaw offers greater upside and flexibility than Brown and will not be a bit surprised if he were picked before Brown.

[Waldo]

I don't see Kinlaw over the top two LTs or Brown, deffinate option in trade back situation.

Would like to see a taller CB. Size has been an issue with Jackson at times with NFC south receivers. I understand that would be a tall order in this draft though.

 

[Growl]

this fanbase would revert to seifert levels of apathy if the draft came around and this is what the team put out

I'm falling in line with her thinking on Kinlaw. Think he is very much in play at 7. I like the draft, especially the first 3 rounds and the two Utah players on day 3, but wonder why she grabbed 2 NTs.

If we don't do something else to address DT, then we're pretty much going to be forced to throw mud at the wall and see what sticks in the draft just to be able to field a DL. Fotu in the 5th would be a huge steal IMO.

Kinlaw is an athletic freak who definitely needs developing, Brown was absolutely dominate throughout the season and showed a lot more on tape but didn’t put up as good combine numbers. I have no doubt Brown is a better prospect, but I wouldn’t be upset if we traded back to get extra picks and end up with Kinlaw. At #7 I would be thrilled with Brown, Okudah, or Simmons. One of the three should be available.

Cant wait for us to pick Kinlaw over Brown, watch the huddle implode, and eventually see everyone eat crow or pretend they wanted Kinlaw all along.

Don’t like not coming away with a WR. Don’t think Hennessy is worth 69, would rather have a WR even though we spent the off-season going after every FA WR so we could ignore the deepest and best WR class in forever. SMH.

I know we need interior OL but after skipping over this the past two better drafts it feels like we will force ourselves to take a. It as good one too early.

I don’t think Fotu will be there in the 5th either.

[stirs]

Where does she get that Fotu would drop to 5th?

[WOW!!]

Now I think that is a overkill  at Dline.. I also think they will add another secondary player and a LB somewhere in this draft...

[Madwolf]

I mean everything outside of the 1st is almost a total crap shoot, but I find nothing I hate with this draft if we trade back to 12 for that pick.
