Joe Person is a dumbass.

I could live with brockers but I'd rather have cox at this point, it all depends on if you want a better pass rusher or a better run stopper

[carolina-chuck]

Brockers or Coples.

Maybe Cox.

But Worthy sure look good.

Agreed. I prefer the run stopper myself. I think McClain and Neblett will develop into sufficient pass rushers at DT, especially with a beast like Brockers commanding double teams beside them. I can't say the same thing about Fua as a run stopper and the other other run stopper we have is just a short term solution.

I think I may do some game film on Worthy, he seems to be climbing to the mid-1st round. He could be a target if we move down.

[MHS831]

I really think that there will be so many trades in the first round, especially in the top 16, that mocks are silly.

Person was on NFL Network last night predicting Coples, Poe, or Gilmore at #9. He does not understand Marty Hurney, Hurney will get good value and a safe first rounder, one that is unlikely to bust.

He also seems to miss the fact that we are looking to trade back so some of the guys who are visiting, like a Worthy, are for that reason.

[EMSMedic79]

Couldn't the Charlotte Observor find anyone else other than this guy? Joe Person blows.

[MadHatter]

Still just don't see a DT in the first....but what the hell do I know?

I'm starting to lean this way too, we need to get more physical and stronger inside. I likes neblett at 3-tech and he was a good pass rusher, McClain cam develop into a good rotational guy. I'm liking brockers to stack the LOS and keep o-lineman off our backers
