I Just Don't See Us Taking A Dt Or A Cb Today

Of course a lot of that has to do with how our FO feels about Janoris Jenkins.

Look, here is the deal. At DT we just drafted two DTs in the third round last year that had some good moments as rookies. DT is notoriously the hardest position for a rookie to come in and dominate (other than QB). Ron Edwards will be healthy and will be a big upgrade at the DT.

If the FO was so desperate to get a DT we would have selected Fletcher Cox or Brockers at #9. I am pretty convinced that the FO does not view DT as a huge need at this moment.

At CB how soon we forget that we drafted a guy last year that was considered a first 2 rounds type talent, but had several off the field issues and an ACL tear that A.) kept him from participating at the combine, and B.) would not allow him to play his first year. Those factor contributed greatly in him falling all the way to the 4th round last year.

I other words we have already drafted our 1st or 2nd round CB. Why reach for another if you don't have to before that guy has a chance to develop.

None of this really matters because our FO will be going by their board. If the top guy on their board is an offensive guy we will select him.

And because of the guys who fell out of the first round that most had first round grades on I have a feeling that the pick is going to be O-line or WR. The only CB I can see us taking is Janoris Jenkins and even he isn't a guarantee because of his baggage. I doubt that there will be a DT that is ranked higher on our board than the offensive guys left in the draft.

And not to mention that many of the offensive guys like Martin, Glenn, Fleener, Jeffery, Hill, Randle,... all these guys are filling needs as well. We need to shore up our O-line, we need a potential future #1 receiver, we need a TE if we don't resign Shockey. So we would be filling needs with the best players on our board. You may not feel like it is our more pressing needs, but they are needs nonetheless.

Alright I am done... flame away :lol:

Agree with you on DT. Disagree on cb. Even if Hogan is our #2, we have below avg guys behind them. In our division, you need 3-4 good cb's.

I agree with Teeray.

The Panthers kicked the tires on a lot of WR's. It would not surprise me at all to see them go in this direction if the guy they want is still there.

Once you get beyond LaFell, there isn't much on our roster. Gettis is an unknown, despite what many claim.

I could see them going OL and everyone freaking out.

I'm not sure why that would freak everyone out. Gross is getting old, Otah can't stay on the field, and we have a bunch of nobodies who will be competing to start at both guard spots.

If we could land a nice OL prospect at #40, I'd be thrilled.

Janoris Jenkins the only other second round CB talent imo won't be there when we pick. Word is the ravens are salivating to pick him up. So unless we move up I don't see it happening. I'm fine with a WR, If you can't find a way to fix a position of weakness then build on your strengths in my opinion. WR usually take longer to develop so think of it as Smitty insurance. Not picking DT or CB when both Cox and gilmore were available says a lot about our front office and what they see as a need. I think we will go WR in the second.

      I would take the giants roster over Panthers. Lawrence, 3 OLB/DEs, Thomas, and nabers. Lawrence is better than dbrown and Thomas is better than icky. Panthers don't have one edge that would start over those 3 not matter how people feel about burns. Id believe....I think I would take nabers over the whole WR group....Id need to think about, but I feel it is right or 50/50..... Now after the top 10, Panthers may have claim. Im just not that big of a NFL fan like past time to make a good case. I'd just take giants on their top talent.    I will say this, if BY carries this team to the playoffs, he alone would flip this.

      Looks like he ran out of real estate.  He had 5 total TDs. As good as we have ever seen in Carolina? Looks like he is the only QB in our history with 3 passing and 2 rushing TDs and he tied a single game record of 5 TDs in one game with Cam and Beurlein.  Throw in his 73.4% completions and zero turnovers, literally the ONLY thing you could argue against statistically is total yardage which was only 275.  You may not agree with that statement (not 100% sure I do), but it's really not THAT wild...
