Would You Draft Two Of The Same Position?

Say we took a CB/DT/DE with our first pick, would you be against drafting the same position in the second if some how a solid prospect fell? (much like Clayborn/Bowers going to Tampa).

Think of the options,

DE, Coples - Branch

DT, Brockers - Still

CB, Kirkpatrick - Jenkins

If the guy's a talented player then yes, of course. Look, I believe that you should approach the draft one pick at a time. So you pick the best guy for you at 9 and let the rest unfold from there. If the best guy on your board in the 2nd round happens to play the same position, then woopdedoo, draft him anyway. It's better to get good football players than trying to get too cute. Apart from QB and RB and C, I don't really see any position where drafting 2 guys would start some sort of major controversy. 2 DT's? Great! 2 CB's? You can never have enough cover guys. 2 DE's? Look at the Giants! I'm fine with moves like these.

I think it depends on whether FO thinks they would be major contributor or not. 2nd DT/CB might be best player on our board FROM THIS DRAFT, but might not be able to beat out existing players. If they could, I say take them. If not, pick someone who will see the field this year.

      I think you mean relevant but they have been fine, the problem is the lack of in game adjustments.  He has also been just decent at recruiting.  Duke having tons of success hurts and just fine isn’t good enough at UNC.

      Tony Pauline: Panthers will strongly consider Kenyon Sadiq if he’s there @19

      I don't see it as drafting a premium player to sit and wait if Walker gets hurt. We need a legitimate swing T. Unless you have a Sewell or Slater type tackle that is pretty much a sure thing, these guys can need some time to develop year 1 just like a QB ideally should. They all haven't played the elite 5 star talent on the edge. If we think another franchise tackle has dropped to us at 19, you have to pull the trigger. The position is just too damn hard to find. If it's just a "we need a tackle and this guy has a T on the board", yeah, move on, take one in the later rounds. But if that guy is there, let him back up and learn a year, then slide him into LT on year 2 of his rookie deal.  I don't see us being able to offer Walker a multi year contract after a prove it year, pay Moton his final almost fully guaranteed year, Hunt, Lewis a center and do a 50-60m extension for Bryce. The 3 most important positions on the field are QB, blindside tackle (usually LT), and edge rusher. Those are the premium positions that cost the most and are hardest to come by. If a starting caliber talent is there at 19 you have to pull the trigger.  I understand the need for a DT and S. I've been on the C and FS train for years. If we weren't staring at a potential Bryce extension, it'd make the decision a lot easier I think. It's just with all these huge contracts I don't see how we can hedge our bets on being able or even wanting to re-sign Walker, especially if he has a bad year. Icky and BC's injuries really hurt our long term plans.  If no blue chip talent at those 3 key positions are available at 19, by all means pass and draft another position. But I think it's pretty safe to say we don't have a guaranteed lock at any of them right now beyond Phillips, and they have to be somewhat of a priority.

      Not completely accurate. I'm sure Roy is lobbying for him and Larry Brown has spoke put in support too. But Hansbrough has made comments pretty critical and hinting at a need for change. Joel Berry has gone a step further and said the standard has not been met. Scott Williams who was a teammate of Hubert's at Carolina has gone all the way and said it's time for a change at head coach.
