That's a great write up! I can tell you put a lot of research and thought into it. Judging by the visits there is a lot of focus on wr. I too believe they are taking a wr in this draft which is stating the obvious. They have looked at receivers that they have in mind in any round. That opens up options at other positions any round as well. I still hope they stick with bpa and not draft for need.

Why double dip?

 

We just traded for a pretty damn solid WR in Johnson. I think 1 more WR is all we need. We still have to see what we have in  Mingo. Thielen is still a solid WR as well.

Johnson, Isn’t he on the last year of his contract? If he has a good year, he’ll demand a big contract and who’s to say he’ll want to re-sign here? If he has a bad year, everyone will want to not keep him. 

Having Thielen definitely should not keep the Panthers from drafting receivers. 

And Mingo, yeah there’s still time with him but this draft is so deep at WR, if you have the chance to get 2 starting WR on cheap contracts for 4 years, why not. 

Like I said, i’d double dip but obviously have a bunch of holes so it’s not like I’d be mad if they go another direction. But with this draft being stacked at WR, and if they’re going BPA and a WR is at top of their board when it’s their turn to pick with both 2nd round picks, I see no problem in that.  Those players give you true WR1 potential, what we have currently is WR2 at best

So who do you like for us to double dip for?

 

I don't really know a lot of these guys besides Coleman.

If we don't pick up a solid edge in FA it feels like we have to pick an edge in round 2 even if it's a bit of a reach

There will also be cut-downs before the season opener.  As a team, we have a poor record when reaching.  Hell, we have a poor record when not reaching.

Adonai Mitchell

Keon Coleman

Ladd McKonkey

Xavier Legette

Those are the guys I feel are worthy of being picked around the 20s-40s range.

Great write up! Edgerrin Cooper is a fast and furious ILB that would complement Jewell nicely in the 3-4. He would be a great selection in the 2nd. Xavier Legette would be a great addition to our WR corp in the 3rd or 4th.

Thers a couple centers that would fit the scheme. I can't imagine us not picking one up unless thry manage to get another option in FA.

 

Which centers fit our scheme?  When I run mock drafts, I hate not knowing what OL fit our new scheme.  I've read this is a pretty good draft for center, but what is you opinion on the best centers or guards that could be centers in this draft from round 2 through round 4?

Who's your top 2 realistic WR's?

It depends on my mood. It really changes all the time. Xavier Worthy, Addonai, Mcconkey, Xavier Leggette, Malachi Corley.....I really dig all these guys. Hard for me to pick a favorite.

Keon Coleman creeps in there for realistic options as well. The guy is a beast.

      I would sign Hubbard as a backup, I would sign him as a starter.....IF the price is reasonable. Brooks I basically view as a Sanders replacement at this point. If he is capable of elevating that role, fine, then you increase his usage. We are fairly close to not seeing him this year. What do we have left, two weeks?

      Clowney is a middling mercenary at this point in his career.  He's chasing money.  Not to mention he's injury prone. I knew this when we signed him and here he is hurt with a $10M 1-year contract.  Yeah, trade him...if we can find any takers.

      Except that in yesterday's game we were within 1 score in the 4th quarter. The only point we got the doors blown off was that quarter. Which, that probably looks a lot different if we are running it down their throats in the 2nd half. Diontae I would consider moving at above a 4th round pick. IF he isn't interested in staying here(or at a reasonable deal). Outside of that, you just make life very much more difficult for the entire rest of the offense. AT is likely to have substantially less value than is even worth trading him for. Why take away a useable cog in the offense for a 6th/7th rounder? What purpose would that serve? I am all for being sellers at the deadline but if all we are doing is making life a lot more difficult on our young players by ramping up the pressure on them and dramatically reducing their reps(a neverending stream of 3rd and outs will do that) then what end does that serve?
