Right because if we don't take a Tackle at 8, there is no other possible way to land a good player at that position....

We tried. It doesn’t work.  Draft a tackle high for once.

Scott Fitterer and Matt Rhule have not tried.  Marty Hurney and Ron Rivera did....

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD..... DO NOT WASTE OUR 1ST ROUNDER ON SURTAIN!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@tecc86 @ImaginaryKev go watch some film boys.... its very unimpressive.

Jimmy Johnson also made a great point. Surtain is already coached up by his father and the best coaches available at Bama. There's not much more coaching can do for his abilities... and he is not better than Horn. Get off the "last name" bandwagon and let your eyes show you the way.

Agree we need CB but I keep thinking aboutJeff Okudah at #3 last year for Detroit

Along with a WR, a certain CB was also a target of ours last year in round 1 had we traded back

Rhule isn’t a dummy. He knows where this roster needs help

So all the guys we wont be drafting? Cool.

With all of our WRs last year we didn't come close to the playoffs.

In terms of offensive line ratings, from the Panthers down (18), no one made the playoffs.

When the Panthers went to the Super Bowl and NFC Championship games, they consistently had a good LT starting.

WRs who are good or stars are consistently found in the 1st 2 rounds. They also don't have an amazing success rate in those two rounds simply based on order taken. You're statistically just as likely to get a great WR in the 2nd as anywhere in the 1st.

I hope we stay put . There is a vast amount of talent at 8

It's funny bringing up the last name thing and then talking up Horn. You may be right, just a funny tidbit.

I am going to revisit what I said some time ago, before we (and I) started praying for a T.

There are starting tackles in early round 2.

We need a #1 CB so that Jackson is not locked up on the opposition's #1.  That makes both outside CBs better.  We can't find that #1 CB in rounds 2-7.

Did we sign a free agent who can play #1?  We signed a 32-year old nickel and a gamble.

Bradbury was a 2nd round choice.

What position is left out of Joe's statement? Hmmmm...
