He is a fraud--we do better than him every year. 

Jalon Walker is a player I like, but if you look at his body of work at UGA, he was not that effective in an edge alignment.  He can play all over--more Luvu probably than Parsons.  i am cooling on Walker for that reason.  Edge is deep in this draft, DT/NT/DE is probably next.  Regardless, Walker is a nice player, just maybe not a great fit.  I'd take the CB from Michigan instead of an ILB/OLB hybrid. If we don't re-sign Jackson, CB is a need.

People are connecting the dotes with him because he is from Salisbury.  He is good but not sure he would be the pick.  I think they might go OT.  I am seeing mocks with Jeanty in the top 8 which would be awesome 

To who?

Only way I can see he goes Top 8 is if someone BADLY wants him and trades up to take him there, as there aren't any places that make sense for him.  Right off the bat, Titans, Patriots, Jets, Jags, Giants, and ourselves have starting RBs for next year so none of us are taking one in the Top 8.    

That just leaves the Browns and Raiders who could potentially take him, and even then, there are going to be a lot of FA RB options this year, not sure either will pass on the other top talent to take an RB instead of signing one.

The historically worst defense ever ima be pissed if we don’t take a defender in the first rd . Pissed . We need talent and bodies . Our offense isn’t that far away as much as many think

He was the very first person to truly become an NFL draft expert. He is not here because he is necessarily the best, but because he is an OG

That would be a shocker (Yes, I went there), but OT is an area where you could reduce the payroll.  Imagine trading Moton instead of extending him?  Some will say, "but we need a DT and Edge and ..." and they would be right, but if you decrease the payroll, you can sign free agents.  I doubt it happens and I would be scratching my head because picking a T would not be a pick that was void of other dominoes falling for it to make sense.

Saints get Johnson, the cb, probably the safest pick in the draft.  He's an island.  Really hope they don't take him.

 

Falcons get 290 lb edge Shemar Stewart.

Bucs get Nick Emmanwori, a playmaker at safety.  I really wanted him but not in the first.

I'd rather have Johnson. At least that part of the defense would be fixed.

I wouldn't say expert but he helped make the draft as big as the game for many.  No different than most of the garbage "content creators". It just needs to be consumed it doesnt need to be valid in order to serve its purpose generating revenue

That's an interesting wrinkle... and I can't quite shake that it could make sense. Still, I really want to see us grab LB in the first.

Despite the constant drum beat of Common Core Math, some folks still can't count lol.

Kiper just a name and entertaining presence.  No one cares about his accuracy, certainly not his bosses at ESPN.  He get's ratings and clicks.  That's all that matters to them.  The more outrage, the better.

As far as who the Panthers draft: it just depends on who the best player is to the Panthers.  Who has the most dawg in them so to speak.  It's about building the team culture and making improvements.  I do enjoy the draft hysteria, the melodrama is so delicious.

I mean at that point just take Will Campbell. I don't think you necessarily need to settle at the edge position in this class, it is very deep. Snagging a ten year starter at the tackle spot who is a blue chip player is just smart. Him or Will Johnson make sense there if this is how it all plays out.
