If you look at the draft in logical way, with some very realistic yet surprising picks like how it always plays out on draft day. IF we get that 8 spot though.

1. IND, Luck

2. STL, Kalil

3. MIN, Blackmon

4. CLE, RG3

5. TB, Richardson

6. WAS, Oline - Reiff or Martin could get ranked even after the combine.

7. JAX, Surprises everyone with a DL player or Receiver. Jefferey or Wright.

8. CAR, Mo Claiborne

Its that simple.

CB isn't a position teams generally take very high in the draft so if any of the top players were to drop I could see it being Claiborne. Even if Miami gets the 8th pick I doubt they go CB.

Really, outside of Kalil and Luck I don't think there's any player that's 100% certain to be gone when we pick.

Us getting Claiborne would rely on TB taking Richardson, and I think they would be foolish to take Richardson over Claiborne.

If I had my choice between Claiborne and Brockers, I'd take Claiborne. But other than Claiborne, Kalil or maybe Blackmon my next pick would be Brockers.

To sum up what the scout said yesterday while on with Zarzour and James....

Brockers will be gone by the time our pick comes around. There is a premium on 6'6'' 300lb linemen who can move. He and Coples are going to be top 10 picks.

Claiborne is the ideal corner and he doesn't think he'll be there either. Kirkpatrick is a smarter player because he played for Saban but Claiborne has the better upside and there is a talent gap between the two. Combine that with DKs recent citation and IDT he's going top 10.

Blackmon will be gone in the top 5.

If all of his predictions come true then our pick is going to be Coples. IMO there is no way we reach for a guy like Kirkpatrick when a premium position player like Coples is sitting there. As long as he doesn't blow the combine then I think he's the pick (assuming the aforementioned Claiborne, Blackmon, Brockers are not there).

Tampa Bay will not take Richardson, lol. They are losing Ronde Barber and Talib (probably).. they are definitely taking a CB. Kirkpatrick is more likely than Richardson. Also, the Skins will not take a RT with the #6 overall pick. They just drafted their franchise LT, 2 years ago in Trent Williams, and he has a done a very good job.

Trent Williams got suspended for the rest of the season for substance abuse. They could go Oline or WR also. Also the wildcard is Tampa Bay.

the fact that people are saying there is no way Claiborne will be there are stupid. People fall every year. Now is it likely Claiborne will be there? At this very early stage of the draft process no it isn't, but remember we still have the combine, interviews and individual workouts. We have a long way to go before the top fivish players are set

Hell at this point last year most people thought Fairley was a better prospect than Dareus.

And Bowers was a lock for the top 5 with a decent shot of going #1 overall.

All this poo (sans Luck, Kalil, RG3) will change a ton in the next few months.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
