Ideal 1st Round Pick for Carolina [UPDATED]

[CharlottePanther]

If we keep winning you can kiss Watkins goodbye. He will be top 5 or top 7 pick. BTW, I am in no way hoping to lose if we have a real shot at the post season.

[JawnyBlaze]

I mean legit NFL player, that is a #1 in the NFL.  Name the last one that took 3 years to turn into a guy ready for the role.  

 

Roleplaying WRs generally are the ones that take time to develop.  Studs tend to studs in today's NFL IMO

 

Roddy White is the last one I can think of.

[JawnyBlaze]

My ideal scenario:

 

1. Watkins

2. OT (left or right, and resign Gross to play the other side)

3. CB

4. WR

5. OL

6+ BPA

Roddy White is the last one I can think of.

ah, not sure how he skipped my mind.  Nice call.

Mike Evans reminds me of Vincent Jackson.

For some reason I have a hard time comparing Sammy Watkiks to anyone. Can someone help me out? Size wise maybe Justin Blackmon? Speed like Julio? I haven't watched him much.

[PantherPhann89]

I like Watkins but I'm not sure he'll be there when we pick. If he is, then it'll be between him and the best OL.

[LinvilleGorge]

Nobody likes to use busts as comparisons, but physically Watkins reminds me a lot of Darrius Heyward-Bey.  Now, H-B was never anywhere close to the WR that Watkins is and was a typical Al Davis workout wonder draft pick, but physically Watkins compares very similarly.

We could end up drafting Lee in the second, to be honest, and Lyeria in the fifth or sixth (assuming G-Man wants to take a risk). Seferian-Jenkins will likely go in the Top 15 anyways. I'd like to see us draft both Ebron and Lyeria, and convert Olsen into a WR and develop Lee behind him.

Would love it if we somehow ended up with Ebron and Lyerla. I think Lyerla will end up being more of a Jenkins/Honey badger guy than Da'Rick guy come draft day. Unless Lyerla has a fifty something IQ than who knows.

What do you think about taking Ebron late in the first if Evans and Watkins have already gone and moving him to WR? If he cut his weight down slightly he wouldn't be far off Evans in terms of size and he has apparently clocked a 4.57 40 so he has speed as well.

Watkins is Tavon Austin but 5 inches taller, that doesn't bode well.

MIKE EVANS IS OUR GUY. fug SAMMY WATKINS

[KendrickPanther]

Ok fellas lets shut down the draft talk at least until we are clearly out of it, could be less than 7 days from now.

[Marguide]

Sammy doesn't strike me as DG pick.

 

If a poster the day before the draft said we would go DT, DT, projected G,  LB RB....the entire board would have spent the remainder of day calling the OP the biggest poo head they world had ever known.

 

DG IMO is still wildcard.   The NY "model" from when he was there, like his first draft here, sometimes ignores glaring holes.... for big draft day head scratchers.

 

I'll admit KK was a head scratcher on draft day, and apparently, he was a guy Gettleman fell in love with.

 

But I'm willing to eat crow. What I have seen of Short so far leads me to believe the guy is going to be a star in this league, perhaps eclipsing Lotulelei before it is all done with.

[LinvilleGorge]

In terms of stats, Short very well could out perform Star. Hell, he's maybe even likely to do so. Two very different players who are and will be asked to fill very different roles. Star's #1 job is to make everyone else's job easier (including Short's). Such is the life of a NT.
