I love Brockers personally bc of his size and believe he could be better in the next level. Poe is an unmovable tank who runs like a LB. Though when comparing these two DTs, I believe Brockers is much better who reminds me of Justin Tuck. He seems like he cud play dt,nt, or de. Many people seems to look at Poe's bench press n 40 yd times and put him as a top ten pick already. 40 times doesn't mean anything. Brockers has a faster 'football' speed than Poe. Not 40 yd speed but 'football' speed. I'd take Brockers over Poe. DT is our biggest need unless Claiborne fall to us at 9th. Fua n McCLain are a joke. Two waisted picks where we could've took Cb Chris Culliver .

Not sure how Brockers and Tuck are remotely similar.

I'm not saying Brockers is Tuck. Brockers is more of Seymour. But what I'm saying is Brockers cud almost line up at any position on our DLine like how the Giants did with Tuck. Other than Johnson we have no one else . Hardy is an average player who can play in situational pass rushing down only .

So, first you said Brockers reminded you of Justin Tuck, then you said he's more of a Richard Seymour... I'm confused.

Either way, Brockers is still really young, so you're drafting on potential alone. Brockers also played on a hellacious defense that had pro players all over it, Poe didn't.

If I didn't make it clear enough in the beginning, here it goes:

Brockers has "Seymour's like potential", but who reminds me "can play almost every position on the DLINE from DE-DT-NT like TUCK". It's my fault for not stating that Brockers = Seymour + Tuck. If you wanted me to get that out. There you go.

and doesn't almost every year, every NFL team draft on potential? Didn't we draft Cam Newton on his potential alone. Cam had one full year of NCAA Div I to showcase only and we still drafted him for his potential to get better in the NFL (i.e. accuracy, footwork, vision), and look how he turn out. and Cam played with a running back who could be a first round in the next couple years, Nick Fairley, Darvin Adams who was really good in college, and a pretty good o-line at Auburn.

i'd be happy with either one...or fletcher cox. crap...or even devon still.

cox is probably more ready to go than the others, but i think any of these guys would be an improvement and a great addition to the Dline.

sure...there are no suh's in this draft, but how many years do those guys show up? this is a solid DT class.

Hey im being truthful. They could pan out and become average players in the future for us but imagine if we took Culliver. Our CB problem would've been solve. Not saying I knew Culliver was going to be that good. But look, Kearse and Shirley were undrafted rookie free agents who came one and learn the playbook later, played better than both FUA and MCCLain. and now there's some rumors of how Rivera might wanna play more 3-4 . Whats the use of drafting two 43 DTs?

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
