So who do you want with our 3rd overall pick?

[CRA]

Our defense is a dumpster fire and huddlers want to take a WR or RT in the top 5 of the draft....not surprised

Looking at the top 5....not sure there is a DT, LB, or CB worth reaching for. I agree, ideally I want defense but we need to win some games and get a pick that makes sense.

For every Blackmon in a draft, there are a gazillion Pierre Garcons, David Gettis', etc.

Would much rather solidify Otah's replacement, and Thomas Davis' replacement in this draft. also, since there is no legitimate Suh coming out, might as well trade down and go BPA.

Im all for trading down and taking a defensive player, but like i have been saying you just cant bank on it. We wanted to trade down the last draft and it didnt happen because nobody wanted to trade with us. I dont see another Julio Jones type trade happening this draft either.

Not true. Manning has had great recieving talent. Once they Patriots shifted from a defensive/running team.....they got Brady great talent. Sure, sometimes you luck into it....but Carolina isn't a position to hope for that after drafting Cam and shifting the focus of this team.

LaFell and the overhyped Gettis ain't enough. Smitty goes down the offense is nothing.

Carolina has always brushed WR off to later rounds.....they can't do that anymore. They need a young stud. Can't continue to hope to hit gold in later rounds. AJ Green is this good right now for a reason.....you can't hope to land those type guys in the 2nd and 3rd.

If the offense is going to carry this team then you invest in it.

Your so wrong I don't know where to start.

First of all where is all this so called talent at WR this year from the colt? To say Manning didn't carry that offense is just flat out kind of stupid no one can fix.

Secondly The Pats have been putting up monster numbers this year with just Welker.

And lastly name the two great WRs that GB used to win a SB with last year?

Claiborne is every bit a top 5 prospect. He's probably the #3 prospect in the draft behind Luck and Kalil. I hope the national title is LSU vs OSU so the huddle can witness Claiborne shut Blackmon down.

No there isn't.

Where is last years AJ Green? Difference is you KNOW AJ Green is a STUD.....you are gambling with tons of uknowns trying to find one comparable guy late.

Gettis is not comparable to a Blackmon. Gettis so far is an okay, one trick pony WR for the most part.

:lol: And what is Blackmon? A college WR who has done less than Gettis and you have no idea how he will turn out in the NFL?

please, you still have to have remotely functional QB play (see Clausen last year - and how Smitty and Gettis both sucked with him at QB).

To suggest Manning would have carried the Colts all these years with MARVIN HARRISON and Reggie Wayne, and Dallas Clark is just silly.

Patriots are ahead of the curve.....they aren't doing it with just Welker. They are on board with the hybrid TEs now.....and Hernandez and Gronk are BEASTS. They are masters of the mismatch. All 3 of those players create them.

Greg Jennings is one of the best WRs in the game. You suggesting he is just some roleplayer?

I was responded to someone else who used Blackmon and Gettis as comparable.

Gettis is probably the most overhyped Panther at this moment. Where are all the AJ Green clones people picked up later in the draft? Gettis hasn't shown signs he has elite #1 type potential.....

To act like Blackmon is already an elite NFL WR and has shown more than Gettis is ridiculous

[ECUPantherFan]

Jeffrey is overrated. Blackmon would be great.

[bigcatdaddy]

I see people are still drinking the koolaid on this offense. I wonder how many more games like this past sunday it is gonna take for people to realize they are not that good yet?

So our offense has 8 good games and 1 bad one and you think our offense is not that good? The Titans played outstanding D, their D-line manhandled our O-line, and we had receivers drop balls. How about we had a bad game?

[CPF4LIFE]

Anybody thats talking down on Blackmon probably hasnt seem him play. He is a legit WR as they come with competitiveness up there with Smitty. Instant upgrade to any team.

[bigcatdaddy]

No, but this board has hyped Gettis into something he isn't.

Gettis had a decent rookie year as a late draft pick...but only looked to run a select few routes well. He has missed his entire 2nd year.

Betting on that as the answer......and ignoring the WR position is how you end up with little talent at WR.

Shockey is old and VERY injury prone. You don't ink him is as an answer to anything going forward.

Drafting a LT when you have a Pro Bowl LT who is still young in the world of offensive lineman.....would be silly w/ the needs of this team. Sort of like extending DeAngelo......other options would improve the team more.

I think Gettis is a good player that will only get better with a good QB, Shockey brings a sense of toughness and experience along with being a good receiver.

Did you watch the game Sunday? Did you see our O-line get dominated? Kalil would be a perfect fit for the O-line and would be insurance in case Otah ends up how we all think he will. Don't get me wrong I would love more weapons for Cam but we have much bigger holes to fill then drafting skill players.
