Panthers Tempted To Take Janoris Jenkins Per Peter King

Saw it on twitter, don't know how to post link. Also listed rams,cowboys and patriots as having interest as well. I have thought all along he would be the best pick, kind of gave up hope after reports of him falling, but I'd be ecstatic if we trade down and take him.

Hell I'd be happy with him at 9 if we have to

I don't know if I could get behind this at number 9. He's probably the most gifted cover corner in the draft but he's a knucklehead. I'm not sure you take a flier on a knucklehead at number 9.

I would, however, love to see us pick him up in the 2nd or after a significant trade down to pick up additional 2nd or 3rd round choices.

Scott Wright is knowledgeable and usually spot on with his mock drafts and he has Janoris all the way down at the end of the 2nd.

If the Panthers feel comfortable with him then select him. He seems to be saying all the right things and this past year is a good sign that he is working hard to change the perception of him. The ability is there.

Man id cringe taking him..

But really really hopeful he would just become hit with a book to the head and make great choices..

Because he is Awesome!! I see him as a young Asante Samuel and even Revis quality guy..because he mirrors the wr well at the line and still can stay with the elite guys.

i love Gilmore but early he is not agressive..not unlike Gamble. Gilmore can recover and track a deep ball and is quick to read a play for an above average tackle.

This draft is deep with corners and wrs, If we don't get the guy we really want in the top 10 like Blackmon or Claiborne then I wouldn't reach for anyone else. There will be guys who are good further down the line. Plus we still have Hogan who was a fourth rounder because of knee issues who was originally projected as a 2nd rounder last year.

SI's Peter King doesn't anticipate North Alabama CB

Janoris Jenkins

going in the first round, but he does name five teams that might be "tempted" to select Jenkins, perhaps if he falls into the second.

Panthers are one of them, and chill out; it's in the second.

    • 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.  
    • And what is x gunna help with except show him what not to do. Plus for the first year and a half he was just an obstacle 
    • 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.
