I am leaning towards him now assuming blackmon,Kalil, and Clairborne or all gone.

As of right now hes looking like the best value/immediate impact player at the 9th slot. Never even considered him during the season but as of right now he looks like the best pick to me.

Who yours favorite right now assuming Kalil,Clairborne, and Blackmon are gone?

Meh I don't really think that by the time we pick, there'll be any Top 10 quality defensive wise left on the board.

Trading back would be great but who'll want to trade with us? I keep seeing Cincinnati but I highly doubt that.

Jeffrey's stock just went up after that bowl performance, mainly the 'Hail Mary' at the end of the 1st round. He also put up some really good numbers before being thrown out early in the 1st (against a 'not great' Nebraska defense). Winning the MVP didn't hurt, either.

I'm a Carolina fan and have watched him all season. so here's my take on Jeffrey:

While the guy is considered a 'stud' because of his size and the way he catches anything thrown to him - he doesn't have 'break away' speed, he isn't a very good blocker, and he isn't a good route runner. He has relied on 'God-Given' talent and has not worked on the things that would make him better / the 'best' WR he could be, namely blocking and on his routes.

I wouldn't be devastated if Carolina drafted Jeffrey; however, If Blackmon, Claiborne, and Kalil are gone, what would I do?

Look at CB Dre Kirkpatrick, Alabama, OT Jonathon Martin, Stanford, DE Quinton Coples, UNC, DE Melvin Ingram, USC (Univ of SC), or even WR Michael Floyd, ND 1st. :cool:

Yes, Jeffery is now considered a 2nd round pick. I'd go with Still at #1. Take BPA in the 2nd between LB and CB.

No way he falls to the 2nd. He may seem like a reach right now but I am not sold on anyone else that would be of value to us at the 8th/9th. I want a starter with our 1st and am not convinced the 2nd best cb, Tackle, or any defensive lineman in the entire draft have a better chance at becoming a starter day one. I think corner is currently our biggest need but I just don't see Kirkpatrick as being worthy, and none of the tackles outside of Kalil seem like a blue chip prospect either at this point. Obviously as the front office starts the processes all of this can change but as of right this second I'm liking Jeffrey but won't be heartbroken if we fall in love with a corner, tackle or defensive lineman.

      I just want to see a big guy with an NFL certified cannon arm suit up for the panthers again. To me, it will show that they are at least  trying to take the QB position in the direction it needs to go.   Will he throw picks? Yes. Probably a hell of a lot, but (for now) I’m strangely ok with that… for now. I at least need to see a dude that CAN make the throws with some semblance of accuracy.  This is the time to see what the QB whisperer is made of. The offensive talent is there. It’s certainly better than most rookie/journeymen QBs will ever step in to. If he can get a random dude playing at a JAG level, then I might be sold.  Andy could really surprise in the Buffalo game. He (for now) still has enough arm for Tet and XL to show what they’ve got, but we all know it’s only going to be good for 3-4 games, max. He has vet savvy, and that does account for a lot. He also has a full week of practice with all the snaps to prepare.  My best case scenario going forward: Andy plays the next 2 games nobly (winning one would be a huge bonus) giving White a chance to learn some of the playbook and develop chemistry with the players. Serviceable Andy turns in to old man Andy in game 3 and White takes the field after halftime.  A high ankle sprain (lol, sure it is) is an injury that can buy the team a LONG time for BY to ride the pine…. Maybe even IR. His peak trade value is now. Get what they can for this albatross. He’s now shown that he can be a mid level backup which does hold a significant value for the right team.  Not even in my wildest dreams do I see White being anything more than a JAG, but that’s ok. JAGs with a big arm make great bridge QBs that at least won’t have your play makers stagnating. Keeping BY under center is a 100% recipe for stagnating high ceiling (Tet/XL) dudes and/or not allowing them to take the next step in their development. Why even practice the good half of the playbook if the QB can’t make the throw? After a while, you’ve now got high ceiling guys who can only run a limited route tree. No thanks.

      Yeah okay fair enough.  Maybe the point is if you have a better system and players you can dumpster dive for a RB and if you don’t you have to shop top shelf. I dunno.    I would put my assets into the best OL I could get and let them make UDFA like Rico look like stars. As opposed to putting CMC behind a makeshift OL. And right now I don’t even remember who was on the OL when we took him, just sayin.
