So a CB hasn't been drafted first overall, fine...

But a DT has been taken 5 times in the past at #1 overall..

Just because A CB hasn't been taken first and a DT has really doesn't mean anything. It's like saying because I have never had sex before and have gotten a blow job that I prefer getting another blowjob because well having sex is unknown to me.

Well lets look at the Blow Jobs in years past that have been taken first overall at DT.

Walt Patulski 1972 Buffalo Bills: He recorded 21.5 sacks in his four years with the Bills. After his fourth year, he was traded to the St. Louis Cardinals for a second round pick. He played one year there before retiring due to an injury...Yawn

Kenneth Sims 1982 New England Patriots: The guy played a full 16 game schedule one time in his whole career then got busted with cocaine possesion.. Saweeet

Russell Maryland 1991 Dallas Cowboys: The only guy in this whole list worth mentioning. The guy played 140 games in a 9 year career. with 1 probowl appearance and 3 super bowl appearance which in large part wasn't his doing. Yayy one DT worth a damn yet not even close to being worthy of the first selection that year.

Steve Emtman 1992 Indianapolis Colts: The guy had more missed games due to injury than sacks in his whole career. Ya he played a game with a ruptured disk which probably meant he was a tough as nails football player but to consider him worthy of the pick is almost as ludicrous as listening to one of Meats jokes.

So ya I guess you can say in the whole history of the draft 1 player picked as the 1st overall at DT made an impact and no CBs have ever been taken at that same pick but that shouldn't mean we should just be safe and take a DT first overall. As you can see history shows that taking a DT first overall really isn't that safe.

*waits for the but but but "prime time" and Mike " I am the best scout that can't get a real scouting gig in the NFL" Mayock said we shouldnt take a CB first so we shouldn't crowd to respond in 3...2....

Yeah but I think you are forgetting that DT is the safe pick :hand:

The rationale for why a corner has never been taken first in the draft is that they can be too easily schemed around and taken out of the game. If you overload the corner's side with an over and under route and send a running back in the flat, he can't cover everybody.

A DT is involved on every play and while you can double him, you are having to game plan for him all day. A corner isn't even involved on plays to the opposite side of the field.

Damn your logic.

I think the logic is that it is a safe pick this year given that there is qood talent there, it's a need, and there aren't any QBs worth taking there....not necessarily that it's a safe pick all the time.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Panthers Addict · Posted

      I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
