I honestly think we should seriously consider trading our 2nd rounder to move up and take Blackmon. I really think he's going to be a fuging monster in the NFL and could light it up with Cam throwing to him in this offense. Especially with Smitty still here for another year at least, probably another 2-3.

I know we have defensive needs, but man, Blackmon is scary good and I seriously doubt we'll end up picking high enough to get him without trading up. All we'd have to do would be sign a solid OLB to start, which shouldn't cost a ton, as that'll likely be our 2nd rounder anyway. Maybe sign a CB too, but I think we can get by with Gamble/Munnerlyn/Hogan for another year if it means having one of the most explosive offenses in the league.

A team with tons of needs trading up to get another WR? Worked great for the Falcons.

Except they gave up a LOT more than just a 2nd rounder. They gave the Browns basically their entire 2011 & 2012 drafts. I certainly wouldn't want us to do that.

But considering Hurney's record in the 2nd round and the gap in talent between Blackmon & Jeffery/other players likely to be available at our pick, giving up a 2nd to move up and get an elite WR like Blackmon would be a great move, IMO.

I mean, what would we really be out of? An OLB? A CB? Just compensate by signing a comparable player in free agency and we're set.

I think your missing the point. Jones has actually looked pretty good but there still 2-3. A #2 WR doesn't play defense or on there oline. And Kalil was a 2nd so its not like he never gets a good player. Not to mention I believe RR is having a good effect on Hurney's drafting so those types of assumptions are gone.

I expect Blackwon will be the first WR taken. I see Alshon as a guy that could potentially fall, theres been some concerns about his weight and I don't expect his 40 time to be that great. I see us picking at about 13 in the draft and even if Alshon falls I'm not sure he'll far that far. Floyd would probably be good value at 13 especially considering Rivera doesn't mind drafting players with percieved off the field problems.

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
