A Question From A Daydream Scenario


Matthias

Recommended Posts

Recently, I've looked at some highlights from David DeCastro such as this one.....

..and the boy can ball!

So this got me thinking. Firstly, the first part of this scenario is a daydream, because it's not likely to happen. So don't flame me concerning it, I really want to hear honest opinions when it comes to the question. (Not necessarily opinions about the daydream part of it, only if the daydream part of it comes to past, would you consider doing what my question is about to ask.)

Here's the scenario......

Both the Vikings and the Rams pass on Matt Kalil, and he falls to our number nine spot. Now here's the question. Would you consider trading back up to the 10th spot, to draft David DeCastro? Is that O-line overkill? B)

My answer would be yes, and I would offer this year's 2nd, and next year's 1st + 3rd. The major problem with this is obvious, it means less draft picks to improve our defense. Yet the major problem with defense last year was the injuries to our linebacking core. (We essentially only had one linebacker on the field in James Anderson) So I would be putting all my eggs in the one basket with Beason returning back to full health, and finding a good linebacker in the later rounds of the draft if TD can't go. I feel we got good competition in the safety ranks in free agency. (Nakamura and Reggie Smith. Possibly Reggie Smith could be moved to corner as well)

So again, if Kalil were to drop to us, would you trade back up to the 10th spot and draft DeCastro?

So my draft would be a little something like this.....

9th pick: Matt Kalil

10th pick: David DeCastro

4th round pick: Josh Norman

5th round pick: Miles Burris (I believe it was Thomas Daivs who said we are going to blitz a lot)

    • Good, our ST is almost as bad as our ILB depth!
    • With two starters on expiring contracts (Moton + Corbett) as well as a few back-ups (Christensen, Mays, and Nijman), the Panthers are likely going to have to reinvest in the OL after this coming season. Icky's fifth-year option was picked up by the team this offseason while Lewis and Hunt both remain under contract then (though Lewis' deal is set-up in a way that would let Carolina move on from him then as well). I think that the team is going to be looking at investing a premium pick at RT should Bryce's development continue, and might even look to double dip at the position in order to have a swing tackle that can also kick inside when needed. There's also the question of starting center... Prospects I'm watching this upcoming college season... Centers Jake Slaughter (Florida) Iapani Laloulu (Oregon) Connor Lew (Auburn) Logan Jones (Iowa) Parker Brailsford (Alabama) Connor Tollison (Missouri) Bryce Foster (Kentucky) Pat Coogan Notre Dame) Raheem Anderson (Michigan) Carson Hinzman (Ohio State) RTs Francis Mauigoa (Miami) Kadyn Proctor (Alabama) Spencer Fano (Utah) Gennings Dunker (Iowa) Blake Miller (Clemson) Isaiah World (Oregon) Caleb Tiernan (Northwestern) Monroe Feeling (Georgia) Earnest Greene III (Georgia) Monroe Mills (Louisville) Charles Jagusah (Notre Dame) Tree Babalade (South Carolina) Trey Zuhn III (Texas A&M) Nolan Rucci (Penn State) Tristan Leigh (Clemson) Fernando Carmona (Arkansas) JC Davis (Illinois) Riley Mahlman (Wisconsin) PJ Williams (SMU) Tosh Baker (Notre Dame) Aki Ogunbiyi (Texas A&M) Courtland Ford (Kentucky) Ethan Onianwa (Rice)
    • I watched documentary on the 2010 Auburn season and Cam wasn’t included in that either. I think he just doesn’t care for these things
