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.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
