I find some of these mock drafts interesting.It seems have shifted from Fairley to Bowerers as our first pick.Though Charles Johnson played well he is a FA and I guess we could franchise him but I do not know if we can count on sighning him.I know we have a need at DT and that will not change.

CJ shouldnt be let to be on the market, I dont think that we'll let him go. I dont see Brayton getting resigned, and Hardy and Brown switching off opposite CJ would be decent. It could be a need, but not as big as the others we have, IMO...

I don't know if taking Bowers is a sign we are not bringing back CJ. Everybody in the nfl wants pass rushers and if you can have two that would be ideal. This defense was at it's best when Rucker and Peppers or Lathon and Green were creating havoc off the edge. I would be all for a line with Bowers and Johnson.

For some reason.. I'm beginning to see us getting Bowers to start alongside Johnson with Hardy and Brown as the backups. Although I don't see it as a need. Though that would be messed up since we gave up a First for Brown already.. Man this draft can go so many different ways.. I want Charles Johnson back though. Regardless of who we draft.

Will we franchise him? No we won't. He will be a restricted free agent so we can tender him and have right to match any salary he may receive. Or get a first and third for him if we don't match it.

I think it depends on the new CBA. Players might get rid of restricted free agency in exchange for the longer season. I think we keep him regardless of the new system though.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      It’ll be interesting to see how the board falls I completely agree with you on TE for us The safety from Oregon would be the cherry on top for Evero’s defense/scheme.  If a OL’men is there that you love it would be very hard to pass up. This fan base seems to just see Walker as a stop gap but I wouldn’t be so sure. He’s the same age as Ekwonu. He’s had a much more impressive career arc/progression than Icky has. He’s the better pass protector. As far as I see it if Walker has a good year I’d bring him back over Icky. Ekwonu isn’t some elite franchise LT. Playing next to Lewis is going to be great for Walker much like it has been for Icky. We definitely need to get younger/cheaper on the OL though so for this reason alone it’s still top of my list come round 1 if board falls this way  Could also use another corner with Mike Jackson’s deal up after this season and needing a nickel but Corey Thornton looked really good in that role in the limited time we got to see him. However he’s coming off an achillies injury and you never know with those.  Then as mentioned above we do still have a need at WR. As far as “weapons” go it’s kind of a 2 man show with Tmac and Coker and neither is a burner. If Jordan Tyson is there at 19 and we can have a young WR group locked up for cheap that’s a huge advantage cap wise  And don’t forget linebacker. That clip in Devin’s Lloyd blueprint they used from Evero saying they need more intelligence there could’ve been left out for Wallace’s sake but it’s true. Wallace is lost in coverage. Pair a smart linebacker with Lloyd and that’s a group with Wallace and Cherelus being depth

      The fact that this is even a discussion is a testament of the level of front office badassery that's going on.

      Not always. LT was for the Giants. So was Ray Lewis. Von Miller was moreso than Manning his final year in the season that shall not be named. It's usually the QB, but not always.
