Why aren't we considering Da'Quan Bowers?

[Peppers90 NC]

u have no idea who the panthers are really considering

[rayzor]

He was ready his second year, we just kept benching him for Brayton for no apparent reason whatsoever.

2 words:

1) john

2) fox

[rayzor]

the DEs we have will be plenty once we have upgrades at DT. DT upgrade that we need can easily be found in FA.

[Catalyst]

With as many needs as we have we can not draft Bowers. PLUS the guy was not consistent. He did nothing his first 2 years at Clemson.

The same can be said of Fairley. He barely even played before this year at Auburn.

[JawnyBlaze]

No, he'd have to pay him top WR money, not top QB money....#1 overall doesn't get top QB money unless it's a QB (or maybe LT/DE).

I definately can't see JR paying a single WR top QB money and that is what he would have to pay him.

[JawnyBlaze]

I believe the word you're looking for is "to".

Again it took CJ 4 years too get his body right

It did take CJ 4 years 2 become the DE he is now. EB is only in his 2nd year maybe give him another year 2 bulk up before we call him overrated.

And Johnson was doing well before this year, I don't think it took 4 years to get his body right. He had what, 6 sacks two years ago and 5 last year playing minimal minutes as a backup? If you look at the minutes to sacks ratio, I bet they were better the previous two years than this year (although being tired from more minutes played is obviously a factor).

Because we have a much bigger need at DT then we do at DE.

When it comes down to it though, drafting the best player overall is almost always a better idea than drafting for necessity.

I agree 100 %

[Punisher]

Yup

[jtm]

Who says we aren't looking at Bowers. I think we will go back to best player available drafting this year and Bowers could be that guy. Time will tell.

[Woodie]

The same can be said of Fairley. He barely even played before this year at Auburn.

Except Fairley was a transfer that dominated his last year of JC, then came to an Auburn team as depth until given his shot...which he took advantage of.

Then we're agreed, Fairley should be the pick .

[carolina razorback]

I'll reserve my judgement until the combine is over.

[eViL jEsTeR]

So then, why aren't we considering him?

who says we aren't?
