Double Dip Drafting

[carolina-chuck]

I wouldnt mind doing it again, but we shouldnt have to double dip.

 

I rather we do it this way: WR/OL/WR/OL

 

(1) Jordan Matthew WR, Vanderbilt

(2) Brandon Scherff OT, Iowa    "or"     La'el Collins OT, LSU    "or"    Seantrel Henderson OT, Miami

(3) Josh Huff WR, Oregon

(4) OL

 

 

-Bring back Jordan Gross and Travelle Wharton on a one year vet min
-Resign one of the two: Ted Ginn or Brandon LaFell
-Probably cut/trade Stew over Dwill

 

Projected 2014 Offense

QB: Cam Newton
RB: Dwill or Stew / Barner

FB: Mike Tolbert

WR: Steve Smith / Josh Huff
WR: Jordan Matthews / Ted Ginn or Brandon LaFell
TE: Greg Olsen

LT: Jordan Gross
LG: Travelle Wharton / Chris Scott
C: Ryan Kalil

RG: Amini Silatolu / Nate Chandler

RT: Byron Bell / La'el Collins

If we double dip it better be on the OL.  I want two of them early and definitely want one in the first round, barring a dream CB falling into our laps.

[Rook35200]

Round 1 pick 32 - WR

Round 2 pick 64 - OL

Round 3 pick 96 - OL

No more early draft talk. That's loser Panther times.

[Swaggasaurus]

Guys its OL, but not because of Cam. We can't run block. Haven't effectively since Vincent and Otah made up the right side.

This all depends on what we do in FA imo. Rather we address the line in FA and address the WR and CB position in the draft.

[top dawg]

The only position where it makes half-way sense to double dip is at WR, because we had better be drafting a WR in either the first and/or second round.

There is absolutely no legitimate reason to expect Gross to come back for vet min.  

 

First of all, he is playing very, very well compared to other LT's in the league. Second, he has meant and still means a lot to the other players and the organization. I think he will gladly give us a nice home town discount, but offering him vet min would be an absolute insult.

 

As to Stew getting the axe over DWill, age and other factors aside, Stew's contract is much harder to get out from under than DWill's. We still owe Stew a lot of guaranteed money. We're already going to be eating Beason's dead money next year. Cutting or trading Stew would really put us in a hole.

I didn't know who Short was, but I definitely wasn't mad about it. I knew it was our greatest position of need and the draft experts didn't seem to think it was a reach so I was pretty happy.

 

EDIT: But to answer the question, probably OL

[PantherFanOne]

If you went back and read the boards from this past April, you'd find a lot of people who were apoplectic after our second round pick was announced.

Fans were in utter disbelief when GM Dave Gettleman "double dipped" by taking another defensive tackle (Kawann Short) in the second round after drafting DT Star Lotulelei in the first.

Fast foward to today though, and people generally aren't so that said about that. Especially not after seeing Kawann make a critical play on Monday night by forcing a fumble from Patriots running back Stevan Ridley.

So let's suppose Gettleman were to apply that strategy again in this year's draft.

What position would you want to see "double dipped" this time?

Offensive line

Wide Receiver

Cornerback

 

[PantherFanOne]

No brainer for me,if we double dip it needs to be the offensive line.

[SIGCHI222]

Not sure what kind of picks we will get with #32 and #64, but whatevs.

[Rubi]

I'd rather add the offensive weapons in free agency. Draft offensive lineman to protect cam and big/tall physical corners (Seattle) to solidify the back end

[the butch]

It all depends on who is available. Double dipping on defense is right in this staff's wheel house. Offense? I don't know.
