As any linebacker wants a mammoth tackle.

Helps the linebackers have a bigger impact, instead of fighting off blocks from linemen.

Job security as well. LB is a huge question mark. Davis wants Carolina to be in a position where they need him to pull off this miracle comeback.

reaching, as usual.

Davis will be a panther next season, cause of who he is as a man, and a leader.

We can draft a rookie, but i promise ya, the staff will start a healthy davis over any rookie.

Now whether or not the knee stays healthy, that's another ball of wax.

Any rookie linebackers would also want a Poe like DT, so they in turn, can play better.

Don't let sound logic stop your theory though.

LOL, it is NOT a reach that player don't want there position drafted form a job security standpoint. Listen to former players talk....they want anyone that can help brought in that doesn't play there spot.

That is fandom talking when you start the he will be a Panther bc of who he is and all that.....no player in NFL history has successfully done what Davis is attempting. He easily could not be a Panther next year. They will let him attempt it but that doesn't make his odds good.

Carolina will give Davis a shot....they can't count on him at this point. If he worked out that would be a huge bonus. Finding a OLB is now a clear need. Davis isn't going to want that need be addressed until he blows his knee again....pointing that out isn't reaching at all

Rookie LBs would prefer a vet in front of them. Rookie Poe isn't going to aid rookie LBs much.

I'd assume he was asked specifically about the draft and his opinion.

I doubt he is requesting meetings with management and staff trying to convince them.

Lobbying is probably the reach.

But yeah, clearly he's not going to be outspoken about drafting a LB. He's half delusional about his future although I don't really blame him. It's a hell of a lot better attitude than being defeated.

Even though this is mainly Davis trying to somehow save his job, I have to fully agree that we need a defensive lineman with our 1st. Whatever your flavor, Brockers, Poe, Still, Cox, Perry, Coples or Ingram, the trenches are where wars are won.

DE makes more sense at 9. DT if we could trade back. DT in the 2nd

It sucks for TD. His body keeps rejecting the donor tissue. That's why the knee keeps failing. His body rejects the tissue and his immune system literally attacks the tissue and starts breaking it down. Maybe this time he will be lucky and his body won't reject it. My father had the same surgery, but he was lucky enough that his body didn't reject the tissue.

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
