College ball and draftniks...a little help please


Marguide

Recommended Posts

I understand this isn't the right forum, but beg everyone's indulgence.

Can some of you that are hard core draftniks and follow college ball religiously please help us out with what players to watch in which bowl games?

Specifically, I'm sure many are interested in potential draft targets for the Panthers.

Your help is appreciated.

Today there's a few guys you should keep your eyes on.

Mississippi State's Johnthan Banks, Michigan's Taylor Lewan (going up against Clowney today so it will be a great judge of how he will match up against the JPP's and Charles Johnson's of the NFL), also Xavier Rhodes DB for Florida State, and a guy I wouldn't mind grabbing in the second round Stanford TE Zach Ertz....

I'd wait for a bit more than a rumor. Probably 50/50. We need ol/dl but he sure is a good fit fit us. High work ethic

I saw that. Very impressive performance by him along with the QB. Has Hopkins declared?

Conflicting reports. Nuk hadn't mentioned it prior to last night....but last night probably game him a bump.

Nuk should declare. Not as gifted as Sammy but might be the better WR.

Great year. 1400 yards, 18 TDs. Doubt he can go back and top that. Sammy likely to reemerge next year

A lot of us draft junkies have our eyes on the Michigan/SC game right now.

Lewan is a potential first round pick for us at LT and he's going up the best in the business in Jadaveon Clowney.

Swearinger is a solid safety prospect as well from SC.

Obviously Warmack, Milliner, and Jesse Williams from Bama.

But yeah, Hopkins made the case for a first round pick last night.

    • I enjoy being truthful. Although that means being unbiased. Which most on here are incapable of being unbiased. 
    • It looks like the Bucks and Giannis are headed for a divorce. He says he's ready to play and the Bucks say that he has told them he isn't. It really doesn't matter except that it likely means the end for Giannis in Milwaukee. He's 31 years old, but still an elite producer.  So, as GM, would you go after him this offseason? Remember, the Hornets have two 1st round picks this year and potentially THREE first round picks next year. What would a trade look like?
    • I agree with you, if all things are equal--assuming we are on the same page as to what that means.  If a DT and OT are there at 19 and you have them equal, which do you take? The DT would be rotational and get 25 snaps a game or so, and the OT is probably a reserve for most of the season.  What if Walker plays out of his mind and Ickey comes back strong? To me, there are just too many variables at T and Morgan met the needs for 2 starters.  Nothing about that screams lets "go OT in round 1" to me. I could see an Edge or a DT at 19 before I see OT.  I could see a TE or S before an OT--and I (personally) would rather have an OT over DT, Edge, TE, or S--but I do not see the logic.  In fact, CB is a position that resembles OT--who do we have behind our starters and are we happy with Smith-Wade?  A CB would be on the field more than a reserve OT.  How is the Walker at LT situation different than the the Bryce situation? He is basically on a 1-year deal and if he is injured, Forsythe becomes Pickett.  Would you take Simpson in the draft?  Dont get me wrong--I usually agree with you  and I get your point.  I am an OL guru--but I just do not see this particular group of Tackles making us better than Walker.  In addition, I think we can address OT once the Ickey situation clears up.  Short arms, poor run blocking, issues with strength--I am simply not impressed with the OTs.  For clarity, "developmental" refers to players who are still a year or two away from starting.  We are all developmental, but there are prospects who need a season to transition to the pro game. I see 1--maybe 2 OTs who could step into a starting role right now. In college, for example, taking snaps under center requires a different approach than blocking for the shotgun.  There is less to learn if you play a position that does not require much adjustment to transition to the NFL.
