Of These 4 Draft Prospects Who Is Your Favorite?

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. ;)

    • And once again I showed you it’s been pretty even. We spent 2nd and 3rd rounders this past draft on edge rushers. No one’s going to sit here and do the math on a draft value chart etc. the only reason I even entertained this was because you said we’ve spent nothing on defense when that simply isn’t true. It also didn’t help we traded our ONLY WR worth a damn to trade up for Bryce soo… And this is kind of the issue with the anti Bryce crowd. This crowd tends to blame him for the trade up. I was team Stroud. Had the panthers not taken Young the only other QB they were going to take was Richardson. So your issue should be with Tepper, Morgan, Fitterer not Bryce.  Bryce is who he is and it was pretty obvious who he was during the draft process. Bryce is slowly developing into that guy most thought he’d be. Give him a WR like Jamo and this offense as a whole would improve greatly.  Anyone thinking he was the next Pat Mahomes or Josh Allen is clearly slow. Bryce was always going to need pieces around him much like EVERY other QB Burrow has Chase and Higgins and they’ve done nothing. After losing in AFC Championship in 2022, Burrow is 17-15. QB’s need a team around them It’s why a Jalen Hurts led Eagles team dismantled a Pat Mahomes led KC team in the SB Imo the QB’s doing the most with the least up until this year have been Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson  This year it’s Drake Maye and Josh Allen  Outside of the 3-5 elite type QB’s I’m not really sure what people expect here. Is Bryce ever going to be in that elite category? Nope. Should we punt on Bryce and keep swinging? I don’t think so. Should we keep swinging while hanging onto Bryce? Yeah but I don’t know what that looks like This team as a whole isn’t very good. Offense and defense and that’s the simple truth  
    • I didn't move the goal posts. But anyone who follows football who wants to engage in a rational discussion can't argue that 10 7th round picks are equal to 10 1st rounders in value. The argument has always been we haven't spent as much on defense has we have on offense. Draft picks have value just like salary. We have not spent the same amount of draft pick salary cap on defense that we have on offense since drafting Bryce. It's not even close. Just the 2 1sts we used on Bryce, 2 overall 1sts have a value of 6000. That doesn’t even factor in DJ Moore or the 2 2nds. Bryce cost more than everything we've spent on defense in 6 damn years. 
    • We need to hope this scenario plays our next week he fails with pressure…what that means with Evero, is beyond me
