If he's on the board, probably.

If St. Louis takes Blackmon at 6, Coples probably goes at 7 to Jax.

If that happens, I bet you take Ingram.

Yeap, Ingram can play DE, DT, and LB. Thats amazing.

Consider that we implement hybrid 4-3 3-4 defense. He'd make a lot of sense.

It bothers me that people keep saying Cam and Smitty need help now. Yes, we will need to find Smith's replacement soon, but good lord we have Cam, DWill, JStew, Tolbert, Smitty, Olsen, LaFell, and Gettis on offense. How many teams have that many solid options on offense? We need defense, defense, and more defense.

I have been saying all along Coples would be the best pick at that spot if blackmon, claiborne, kalil are gone. If he is gone too, then you start thinking about Kuechly, Poe, Ingram. Thats why im hoping he will still be there by the time we pick because if we have to decide between those last three it will make the decision that much more difficult.

Yeah, offense wasn't exactly the problem last year.

Obviously everyone would like to have Morris Claiborne or Justin Blackmon but if those two aren't there than it will be Quentin Coples. If somehow Coples isn't there it's down to Dontari Poe or trading back.

I also like what they said about Coby Fleener out of Stanford. He has great size, speed, athleticism and would also give the Panthers their depth back at the tight end spot with Greg Olsen, Gary Barnidge, and Coby Fleener. I also like the fact that Fleener was a big contributor on Stanford's special teams which could entice the Panthers to take him. However, unless the Panthers take Poe, I don't see Fleener being a true option. If we pick Coples it's simply because he is the best player on the board and we would still need to address the interior of the defense which leads me to believe that the Panthers may take defensive tackle, Jerel Worthy out of Michigan State if we take Coples with our first pick.

Just my two cents.

      ESPN showing some love on out draft class!!

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      He makes a good point about Wallace.  In fairness to Wallace it is hard to play your position as freely as you need to when your defensive line is getting pushed around like ragdolls.  One of the greatest attributes a defensive line has is sucking up blocks, freeing up your linebackers.  Our defensive line couldn't suck up a lollipop more or less blocks.  I think Evans, Sanders and Tremble are going to be a really nice TE group.  I can see all three getting time on the field.  If Sanders can improve as a blocker teams won't be so inclined to believe it is a pass play whenever Sanders is on the field.  Ryan Fitzgerald, I think was an awesome pick-up. Hopefully he can fill our kicker void. Luke Kandra many turn out to be our next Norwell.  Everything I have heard about him says he's a beast.  He needs some refinement, but the good news is he's got Hunt and Lewis (arguably the best guard tandem in the league) to learn from.

      Morgan & Canales

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Great teams build through the draft and have several young players that start that are on rookie contracts. It's important to hit on players in rounds 4 thru 7.  These should be future starters and solid depth.  When you hit on most of your picks you free up a lot of cap space for those one- or two-year players to fill spots you are thin at. No GM is going to perfect on all their picks.  You're going to whiff every once in a while.  That was Hurney problem.  He'd nail the first pick but after that it was reach after reach and we couldn't get any depth on this team. I'm excited about Morgan as our GM and hopefully he'll be around a long time.  It will be even better if Canales can continue to grow as a head coach, both in the development of young players and play calling. I remember last season after Young came back in the lineup and started to perform well.  We saw different plays I had only seen other teams use.   If Canales's play design and play calling continue to grow. Morgan and Canales will be linked together for a long time.  It would be nice to see a Coach and GM together for a decade or two. Go Panthers
