Jonathan Banks, CB, Mississippi State

[CardiacCats]

it's looking more and more like Gamble won't be back next year. Even if he doesn't return, is CB our biggest need? No, offensive line comes first and foremost in my opinion but if Warmack isn't there and we don't like Fisher this guy HAS to be considered. He's so much better than Miliner. Dude is a ball hawk and playmaker and stud in man-to-man coverage. Could be the leader of our secondary for the next decade. I'm in love with him as a player and as far as value goes, at 14 the only guy I see better is Warmack. If Warmack isn't there he has to at least be considered, right?

[JawnyBlaze]

Eh, sure if he's far and away the BPA but I doubt that he will be.

[IamSoClutch]

Tampa bay will steal him from us at 12. They were near last in pass defense

[rscott94]

I'm sure he'll be considered... But like you've said CB isn't our biggest need (I'd say it's about 4th-5th on the list)

[Bwood]

I love Banks.

[CardiacCats]

I love Banks.

So much better than Miliner and it really isn't even close

I wouldn't go that far lol. They're pretty much neck and neck.

Milliner is bigger and more physical while Banks is more of a shut down CB.

[Dash Global]

I want big physical CBs that can lock up WRs at the line of scrimmage.

[Panthersguru14]

I like banks a ton I don't think we take him though to many needs

[carolina-chuck]

I think Banks is the best cb in this class with Rhodes behind him then Milliner.

If Gamble is gone, I'm 50/50 on him bc we just have too many needs elsewhere. I wouldn't mind though.

How is it 4th or 5th?

Gamble is gone people don't kid yourself. Plus we could lose Capt. as well because he is a FA!!

WE ONLY HAVE NORMAN, THOMAS, AND DOCKERY AS CB ON THE ROSTER!!!

THIS IS A BIGGER NEED THEN MOST PEOPLE THINK.

If Banks or Millner drop to us this is a no brainer.

[Bwood]

I agree that if Gamble gets the boot, we need to be looking for a solid replacement.

1. Banks

2. Milliner/Poyer

3. Rhodes

Any of these guys could automatically contribute.

[jungleking]

I like him a lot, especially after watching Ryan throwing to Julio and Roddy against the 49ers. A corner who can take away the vertical, jump-ball game matches up well against Julio and Vincent Jackson in Tampa. I like Banks a lot.

Gamble went down 6 games into the season... And honestly I think our secondary played pretty dam well without him. True if Munnerlyn leaves in FA it does become a need but not necessarily in the first round. I'd say if Rhodes drops to us in the second I'd take him there but we could address that in the 4-5 round.
