Top 3 Players For #9 Pick

I dont like either of these guys at #9. Kuelchy is talented and has a lot of potential but it happens that we have a very talented and highly paid MLB under contract. Cox is pretty good but at most his immediate impact/upgrade would be minor to what we already have at DT. From the list above I take Kirkpatrick, Gilmore or Coples

We have a very talented and highly paid coming off a serious injury MLB under contract. I hope he is 100%. My heart wants that, but my head tells me he'll be more like 80-85%. Besides, Kuechly has the ability to play every LB position. With Davis a major ? and Beason almost certainly not going to be Beastly, our biggest need, despite what everyone says, is a quality starting LB - especially given the defensive scheme we run. Who is the best one available?

Cox is, imo, the best DT available. If our LB core is not going to be particularly strong, we need to take a shot on a DT to get push up the middle. I think Cox is the best for the job.

I don't think we need to take a CB at 9, even Claiborne. There are 2 rounds of quality CB's and we have Hogan who is basically a rookie but has shown promise. I wouldn't pick Coples with any first round pick. He is supposed to be the best pass-rusher in the draft and the guy had 7.5 sacks last year, including 2 vs. James Madison and 2 vs. Duke. Other than those two games, he had 3.5 sacks against E. Carolina, Louisville, and a weak ACC. I'm not using a #9 pick on that guy, sorry.

If we didn't want him as a starter, why did we let Wharton walk this time, and keep Hangartner?

Also, the Bills didn't release him because he was bad, they released him because he was a cap causality.

Trust me, Hangartner is a fantastic offensive lineman, and is better than any other option we have on the team right now at the Guard position.

No need to keep going back and fourth with him. Hangman was the starting LG as soon as he got a 3 year deal and Warton was let go. He can play both guard position and center. He is starting quality.

We aren't drafting Decastro. They really like Gary williams and Byron Bell. Then Mike Pollack and Zack Brown are depht.

When was the last time a team drafted a guard in the top 10? Don't worry I'll wait................

Reilly is a reach...in some opinions. My reason for taking OT first is that i think we have to solve the Otah situation. Address it imediatly while Otah still has value and lock up a starter for the next 5yr so we are not shifting guys around when he is most likely to get hurt.

Byron Bell and they just got Cambell in the Goody trade.

If we drafted soley by position of need we would be taking players that aren't worth a top 10 pick. BPA is the name of the game and also Hurney's best friend. We have a top 10 pick, we might as well use it like one.

If we went by your method:

If we want a CB, we would take Dre Kirkpatrick at #9. <--- late first rounder, might as well see what's there in the 2nd

If we want a DE, we would take Coples at #9. <--- LOL

If we want a DT, we would take Cox at #9. <--- this one's good, we can wait and see if Worthy/Still is in the 2nd tho

If we're gonna reach, we might as well trade down for a 7th rounder and a reacharound

I honestly don't see Kirkpatrick falling out of the top 15... But we will see. CB is such a premium position with the way team's are throwing the ball. So #9 I think would be decent... Coples at 9 is not a laughing matter. Many people see him going in the top 10, and as he is the top DE on the board with possibly the highest potential, I don't see how you are laughing.

Then lastly, "if we are gonna reach, we might as well trade down for a 7th rounder and a reacharound".... A hyperbole to be sure, but really not even accurate to what I was saying.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By panthers55 · Posted

      I see progress and improvements. We aren't the same team we were even at the beginning of this year. You want to harp on the past while I am all about the present and future. Do I know thinks are going to be great moving forward? Actually I don't but I prefer to look at the good instead of the bad. Since he is surely going to be the QB the rest of this year barring injury, I am going to root for him to succeed instead of fail. I always said if we are going to finish at 500 for the year I prefer we win at home since I will be there and want to see wins and crying opposing fans like the cowboys. So far mission accomplished. Now we have to show we can win on the road.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
