Who will be left at the 8th or 9th pick?

Who has the perceived value to fit at 8/9 pick?

Coples-yes

Rieff-yes

Brockers- close, gets a yes

DeCastro-close, gets a yes

After that, we would be reaching with Jenkins, Still, Martin, Z Brown, Kirkpatrick.

At this point, if you include Blackmon, you might as well include Claiborne. Neither will be there when we pick.

I hope Reiff is there.I do not think Couples will make it past the Jags.Brockers will be there Martin will be there.Short of Kirpatrick just having an amazing combine I do not see us taking him.Barring us trading down I think it will be a DT or OL.

will you please tell me why its so far fetched to believe blackmon cant fall to us?

Because at this point, there are about 5 teams ahead of us that could use him and unless he runs a very slow 40 at the upcoming combine, he will not make it out of the top 5. Most people think he could be the second pick in the draft.

Some call him the second coming of Megatron. He is well thought of and has little competition as this years top WR

Jacksonville is as far as he will drop and doubtful he gets there.

Again, anything can happen in the draft, but as of today, with the info we all have, 8/9 will have no big playmaker.

I agree. But let's pay tribute where it is due an honor those who at least pretend to know more than our GM in Bud style:

Here's to you, Huddler, O sage of the NFL general manager and master of the unknown. Your prophetic wisdom needs no reason or explanation of any related logic, because you are in the know. When others speculate that we might need to protect our franchise QB better in 2012, you intellectually dismiss the fact that Cam Newton faced more pressures than 30 other NFL QBs. Your knowledge is so intense that only you have the confidence to disregard the fact that our LT is 32, our RT has played 4 games in 2 years and will be wanting a contract in 2013, and an undrafted rookie with a holding problem and an inability to effectively run block are our top 3 OTs. Your extreme intellectual capacity leads you to ignore the realization that Wharton is probably a cap casualty, and that cutting him, our only qualified reserve LT, would leave the cupboard bare, but would free up about $5 million in cap space to spend on a reasonalbly-priced FS and OLB. Here's to you, O beacon of Panther needs, because only you see the truth, that we must use the draft and the draft only to address our immediate needs on defense, and that since defense is our weak spot, that makes it more important than protecting the Franchise QB. This Bud is for you, Huddler.

this might be my favorite post ever.

There isn't a defensive tackle that warrants a top 10 pick yet either.

Thats why I think it will be Reiff

BTW, looks like the coin toss will be Friday morning Feb. 24th.
