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.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
