Observer/person: Pick Is Blackmon Or Defense

Couple of interesting nuggets in here:

This year their first-round focus is on defense – unless Oklahoma State wideout Justin Blackmon falls into their laps. If that happens, the Panthers will add another weapon to quarterback Cam Newton’s arsenal.

Most draft experts don’t see Blackmon sliding past St. Louis at No. 6. But if Blackmon were to slip to 9, where the Panthers pick after losing a coin flip to Miami, look for general manager Marty Hurney to grab him and worry about the defense in subsequent rounds.

...Boston College linebacker Luke Kuechly, the nation’s top tackler the past two seasons...could be the pick if Coples is off the board or the Panthers decide against him.

Claiborne is expected to be gone when the Panthers pick ninth. They met with South Carolina’s Stephon Gilmore, the second-rated corner, but don’t view him as a top-10 pick, according to league sources.

Do the Panthers really think that poorly of Cox

Their reasoning probably revolves around DE being a more valuable position (greater impact) than DT. There is no doubt Coples would be better at DE than Cox (should they envision using him there occasionally) and Coples may be close to Cox on the occasions he moves inside.

No matter what, we are likely going to be a bit thin at either DE or 3 technique post-draft and may need to add someone after June 1st.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
