Who would you pick??

Hypothetically speaking, lets say our coaches grade all of these players the same exact grade (8.5 on a scale of 1-10).I say the same exact grade so you take your emotional feelings about the specific player out of the equation, therefore selecting the position who best fills an immediate need/keeps us from drafting this high ever again.Who do you want us to pick? Vote and chime in on why you support that certain player/position

If they all have the same grade and are all going to be potential pro-bowl caliber players. I say we take Coples and put him across from CJ and create a dominant pass rush. Out DTs will get better but we need elite pass rush and as we see from Jared Allen, J-Pep, and Aldon Smith type players..you generate pressure from the DE spot. Plus we can't afford an elite pass rusher in FA but we can afford a DT.

If they're all the same level, Brockers is the obvious choice. DT is the most integral position on the defensive side of the ball for fielding an elite defense. Jenkins is the secid choice, but Brockers edges him out because having a dominant interior generally improves your secondary.

Mathematically speaking, if you have 5 equal grades, then you look at quantity. There are "very" few OLB's that can come in and make a difference in the upcoming draft. This is why, in the above scenario, I picked Brown.

I disagree however that Brown will be an immediate starter. Think he will be picked on potential and could even be there when we pick in the second round. But, I went with your scenario.

i think as is coples is more talented, i just question his motor and motivation level.

if they were all equally graded out, though, i think having that anchor on the Dline will provide the most benefit against both the run and the passing game. it would provide that elite talent at DT we have been needing. we need to have at least one premier talent at each position, imo. this is a position that is in desperate need of one and that would provide the most help.

I don't think we can afford an elite player at any position in free agency. If we got a DE, as good as Johnson on the other side I agree that would be great.

I agree with this sentiment as well. If Brockers turns out to be an elite run stuffer and collapse the pocket on passing downs it would make the secondarys job much easier. I also think we can pick up a quality corner in the 2nd, I really like Minnifield if hes there. My only fear is there could be a big run on corners before our 2nd round pick.

I think I would wait until later on LB's. We may have Davis back, if nothing else Senn is okay and we may be able to find an affordable fill in like a Na'il diggs in free agency.

i didnt vote because i think its a split between the two DL.both would improve this defense by a lot.

I have not yet voted either because I am torn between the 2 as well. I also would love another shutdown corner and afraid there may be quite the run on them before we pick again in the 2nd . Remember Captain gave up the highest 2nd passer rating when thrown at last year. Hardy was atrocious against the run so I feel like we need to improve that position. DT, is a big question mark with Edwards coming back and what level of progression we will see from Fua/Mcclain/Kearse.

It is hypothetical. In the scenario, all are equal.

i agree with not having captain starting next year, but we still have Hogan and Butler. plus the CB class is deep with talent this year, so maybe a reach wont be as bad.

Why do people think that if we add some magical pass rusher that we automatically get lotza and lotza sacks!

You must have a dominant DT to have a consistently good pass rushing DL. To think otherwise is simply contradictory to basic laws of the game. It doesn't matter how many good DE's you have without interior pressure.

    • 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. 
    • They both outstanding players and both had monster games against Jets.  We gonna need it again this week with the bills.  Go Panthers!!!!
    • 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.
