What's Your Dream One-Two Punch For The Draft?


Recommended Posts

I was thinking that the talent being produced in the first two round could lead to two potential starters for us.Without any trade back scenarios or someone dropping, with this in mind who are the two players that you'd want picked in the first and second round and why? The combinations are pretty varied.

Mine would have to be Fletcher Cox and Janoris Jenkins.

Cox to me is the best pick we can make at #9 right now(barely beating Kuechly), he's scheme diverse and has the body of work backing up his play. He can kick to the outside or play the tackle.

Jenkins is just too good to pass up in the second round, regardless of his issues or all the flags. His skills are just amazing and seeing him and Gamble would make me cream my pants.

What about your gents?

Michael Floyd and Chandler Jones

Floyd will be BPA at #9. Jones offers the pass rush that Rivera is looking for. A little raw, but has nice speed and strength to turn into a great end to pair up with CJ (with Hardy and Keiser coming in on rotation).

at first pick ill be happy with whoever as long they are evaluated the same way as cam was.

second... probably the best corner available. i'd like to actually see if we could move up a few spots into a late first to get janoris jenkins.

    • That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.
    • The Saints being that high is the one that killed me. Chris Olave might not know his name at this point, Shaheed is coming off injury as well, so 31 year old Brandin Cooks might be your best WR...coming off a 260 yard season over 10 games. Kamara is Kamara, but didn't have 1,000 yards last year and is about to turn 30.  Toss in the fact that Taysom Hill may be the best QB on the team and I truly don't understand Barnwell's thoughts beside seeing the names "Olave" and "Kamara" and going yep, that sounds better than "Chuba" and "Thielen". 
    • Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.
