Walker is the pick if he's there and general consensus is that he will be.

Watching his interview i love the way he speaks. Exactly the traits we need. 

You just know he impressed the hell out of them on his visit.

1st round TEs scare me. I don’t know what it is but the top TEs don’t get taken in the 1st round. Even if you would say what about Olsen or Hockenson, I’d come back with they weren’t top TEs on the teams that drafted them.

Not sure what it is but 1st round TEs, especially top 10 ones, do not have a good history, especially for the team that drafted them.

I have absolutely no idea why folks simply dont see this when the data is evident

I like Winston a lot  Need to see if he can cover.  I was hoping for him later in the draft though. We'll see.

the NFL.com draft has us not adding a rusher in the first 2 rounds, that's concerning

Highly unrealistic. We are heavily telegraphing that we will take a DE/EDGE in the first two rounds.

I love, *love* Warren.  Unfortunately, it would be criminal roster management to go TE in the first round with so many problems on defense.

I agree. I'd rather take a FS at #8 than a TE. 

And for those that don't think a Safety should be picked that early, just ask Baltimore how high they'd draft Hamilton. Panthers have ignored that position long enough. We talk about not caring about every position but FS. Plenty of in-the-box guys, but when was the last time we had a true ball hawking roaming in the secondary? Honestly can't remember.
