Inside the draft: Second-round value

I would take Gilyard out of those two guys.. only because I think a DT in the 2nd round will not be THAT much of an upgrade over what we have now.

I agree but BPA may come into play.any other year alalu is in the first round..IMO

I still think the pick will be Gilyard.But I wish we had another 2nd round pick so much depth in this draft.

We really don't ever draft that many DTs. Irving and Hayden are the only DTs that we have drafted in the last 4 drafts. That means we have had about 28 picks and only 2 of them have been DTs. However, we don't ever draft WRs either so IDK what to think. IMO, Steve Smith speaking out saying he wants another good receiver across from him speaks volumes. I think that the FO needs to listen to their best player...

    • I've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.

    • No they are going to give Claudin Cherelus 2 spots.
