It is a moot point, because his skill is not why he is ranked where he is, but I think the topic is interesting when comparing CB types. I still think he would be #2 and not #4. Mike Lombardi says Jax likes Gilmore more than Claiborne. Another NFL expert, last week on NFL Network, (can't recall who it was--Casserly or Billick, maybe?) explained that the scheme is very important in determining what kind of CB you want. I knew that, but never clearly understood why. He explained that some teams want CBs who are better in coverage early in routes while others want CBs who cover best later in routes. Never heard it explained like that, and I never considered it.

Yeah, they said Revis is an example of a guy that is both, Asomugha is an early route guy, and Gilmore is the coveted late route guy in this draft.

No, absolutely not. When has a very talented player who had character concerns ever worked out for us?????? It would be awful to take him in the second. I mean he left Florida!!!!!!!! Florida!!!!!! Then went and played at a small school. Yeah right a guy like that will never amount to anything in the NFL!!!!!!!!!!!

Some guy by the name of Cam Newton left Florida. "Florida!!!!!!!!" Then he proceeded to go to a small junior college, followed by a National Championship and a Heisman Trophy session at Auburn. Shame he never worked out in the NFL... oh, wait.

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      By MHS831 · Posted

      If we don't go OT, we will regret it.  What bothers me?  Are we going to get a starting-caliber OT at 19?  I think the draft is solid at OT, and the more I read up and watch video, the more I watch Lomu, the more I want him.   I see Freeling as a RT who needs some work in run blocking (since we need to run first, maybe not a good fit) and I see Proctor ending up as a Guard.  After Lomu (assuming Mouigia and fanu are gone), I think we wait until round 2.  In round 2, there are about 3-4 I like (Zuhn--good pass blocker and VERY underrated right now; Tiernan is a very good pass blocker as is Miller from Clemson, but both are not good in the run game.  Max Ixxxxx from Ariz St is impressive too---technically, there is not a of difference in these second tier guys--good in pass pro, need work in the run game.   If we wait until round 2 for an OT, we probably need to sign Nijman and start him early.   I almost think this is what we should do if Lomu is gone.  There is a big dropoff after him, imo, and I think we'd get better value if a stud ILB or edge is there.  Someone like TJ Parker Clemson makes sense. If Lomu is gone, trading back might be the play.

      I understand that some people want WR. I am solidly against using yet another high pick there. Coker is pretty good and we used No picks on him.  What I think we really need at WR is a little bit of a Smitty lite. It is ridiculous to say let’s get a Smitty because you just can’t do that, but someone not tall and long striding but more in his mold. I think we’d have a pretty well rounded group.    Looking at tackle, with replacing Moton looming, it just seems like the no brainer.  You fill in Icky short term. Depending on how he recovers, and how the new guy plays, you go from there. A tackle at 19 is most likely either a LOT, a ROT, or a big talented guard, at worst. We will need all three in the next couple of years.  I would love to have a stud ILB be there at 19 but the OL is the responsible thing to do I believe.
