Coples

Gilmore

Floyd

Cox

I chose those 4 because we had them all in for visits, and it seems these are the most realistic players to possibly be available at 9 and should be able to come in and start right away.

Just curious to hear some opinions on these 4 and if you feel there's other possibilities other than Clairborne or Blackmon magically falling to

us feel free chime in with their names and your opinion in them vs those I listed above.

I think it all depends on if Carolina can trade back or not. If they can't, wouldn't surprise me if they made a move to trade up w their second pick to late first or early second.

I think they are going to make a splash this year in the draft. I predict Cox then trade up and grab Wright.

Of those four, Cox is easily as good as the rest and fills a more critical need.

So Cox.

We need defense help NOW. Cox likely won't be ready for real playing time. Coples has better odds to be impactful right away IMO

Cox - The surest thing IMO and helps solidify the DL.

Floyd - Past DUI would scare me a bit, but would make the offense elite.

Coples - Most potential and helps on defense right away, but the highest bust potential of the 4.

Gilmore - Could give us the #2 CB we want, but could struggle at times next season while he adjusts.

I want defense, but won't complain if we go Floyd. I'll trust the staff to make the right call.

I disagree. Primarily due to my reliance on the First Rule of Best Conferences Theorem.

Cox was an impact player and had to be double-teamed consistently in the S-E-C, the best college football conference in the land. And there was never any question about his "motor".

While Coples was playing Boston College and Virginia and Ohio State, Cox was playing Bama, LSU, and Florida.

Thus ends your lesson on the First Rule of Best Conference Theorem. ;)

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By strato · Posted

      I have been looking for a dropped pass list and all that comes up is QBs. And team stats. When I do receivers I get the passing stats for a handful that threw passes this year.    I wanted to be accurate but anyhow I was looking because thought I remembered reading where T Mac had more drops than XL this year.  One of you many smarter than me people here,I would appreciate it if you know how to pull that up, please do. Thank you.    And yeah I know that isn’t all there is to it I just thought it was interesting.  Of course what the hell is a drop lol.

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
