Can't blame a LB for wanting a blocker eater, but I don't think that's what we need. I think we need a game-changer/play-maker who can make plays on their own. I did not see a lot of creative blitzes with LBs last year, so IMO we need a guy who can penetrate on the DL, like Fletcher Cox.

I know we had a lot of injuries, but it really depends on what kind of D we will be running. If the pressur eis supposed to come from the LBs, then I could see us going with a guy like Brockers (1st) or Still, who may be there in the 2nd. If our DL is supposed to create the pressure, then we need a penetrator.

Fletcher can eat blocks as well.

It all depends on what kind of a player Ron Edwards will be. I haven't really watched him a lot so IDK if he's a space-eater or not but you need a space-eater at NT and hopefully someone who can penetrate at the other spot. Rignt now I think Fletcher Cox is the guy who is trending if we stay at that spot. I wouldn't be mad at the pick because I think he plays more violently than either Brockers or Coples (if we went DE).

The deciding factors for me to go with Coples (if Claiborne is gone and we can't trade down) are

A.He has rare size, speed, and versatility.

B. Jerel Worthy or maybe even Devon Still could be there when we pick in the 2nd round.

C. DE is a more valuable position that DT IMO...especially if that guy gives you the flexibility to move him inside on long passing situations (similar to what the Giants do with JPP, Tuck, and Osi).

I agree. Didn't mean he couldn't.

I see Cox as a different sort of player than Brockers, Poe or Still. I like Cox by far better than the rest & feel he is a better pick than Ingram or even Coples (Coples b/c of risk, big reward or a waste of a pick). I would take Cox in the 1st or deal with Still in the 2nd if necessary. Our 2nd rounder should be a CB or LB IMO tho.

Yeah, Worthy is a great player as well. Coples has amazing potential, but Hurney likes to make sure he does not miss in the 1st. To me, that would be a player more like Cox than Coples. Coples is the highlight pick, but I prefer not see the Panthers go in that directions due to his on-off history. Coaches may have changed at UNC, but amzaing players perform no matter the circumstances.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
