Why does ESPN make you pay to read half their articles...it's ridiculous. Anyways, does anyone have insider, Mel kiper had his four round prediction of what each team will do and I was curious as to what he says about the panthers.

Also, isn't it crazy how different people view different prospects? NFL.com has Desmond briscoe listed as the number 3 WR prospect...ahead of demaryius Thomas, golden Tate, and Damian Williams. Most other websites have him listed as a 5-6 round prospect at best.

I have it but only bc I paid next to nothing for a three year subscription.

Carolina Panthers

Top needs: WR, DT, LB, DE, QB

First round: No first-round picks

Second-round (48): DL Tyson Alualu

Third-round (78): QB Dan LeFevour

Fourth-round (112): TE Garrett Graham

Summary: I don't want to bring up again why the Panthers aren't drafting until Round 2 ... anyway. What I like about Alualu is the versatility. He can be a penetrating tackle in a 4-3 scheme (a 5-technique), or become a 3-4 defensive end. He sheds blocks well and gets into the backfield with regularity. LeFevour is a quarterback who I think will need work in dealing with the small windows and timing of the NFL, but he has the athleticism and the arm. He's a guy worth developing. Graham caught a lot of passes at Wisconsin.

No way the Panther ignore WR. Poor job by Mel.

I actually wouldn't be shocked if we didn't address WR till round 6. I know sounds crazy; but a couple of years ago, everyone knew we needed safety help; and we didn't look at safety till like round 5 or 6.

If some guys that Hurney and Fox like get picked early; they'll pick someone who's higher on their board. Regardless of position.

Wasn't it just a couple of seasons ago that defensive tackle was easily the biggest weak spot on the team and we didn't select one until the 6th round and Nick Hayden?

It wouldn't surprise me one iota if we don't go WR in the 2nd and it shouldn't surprise anybody that's been following this team for a long time either.

      Yeah, Moehrig in likely passing situations as a LB/DB hybrid role seems like a better approach then Rozeboom/Wallace.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      This thread was a fun re-read, and not to toot my own horn, but I'd say I was pretty spot on with the things I was saying about both T-Mac and Hunter, like eerily so.  I really wish I had kept a bunch of screenshots/links to all the arguments I got into with people over the last 2 years over T-Mac, would just be fun to look back on them and laugh. To your post though, it's wild that any NFL GM couldn't see this being the case as 90% of fans out there could see it from a mile away, it really was just common sense, you can't be a full time 2 way player in the NFL today, and he's a better CB than WR, always was. The fact that they traded a future 1st and a 2nd in that draft to move up to take a CB and part time WR is beyond comical, and even if he ends up a great player, is more than likely going to be looked back on as a terrible trade by them.  Two 1st's and a 2nd to take a CB is just asinine, I'm not sure there has ever been a CB who was worth that, even the peak years of Revis or someone like Asomugha weren't worth that, let alone a full career of play.

      This. The Micah Parsons situation is an anomaly and it takes a moron with a gigantic ego like Jerry Jones to pull it off. The vast majority of these superstar/organization showdowns end up with a massive extension getting inked after a bunch of talking and posturing during the negotiation process with everyone trying to get the best deal from their perspective that they can and then everyone making up in the end - basically the Lamar contract situation. That's the normal process of how those situations play out and why everyone just assumed the Parsons situation would follow the same path but then Jerruh gonna Jerruh. LOL
