Your reaction if we go DBs in the first couple rounds?

rookie WRs come in and contribute now, while developing. just look at the last couple of years, and the impact some rookie WRs have had on their teams. this team really needs to invest in the position early, as well as OL and DB.

 

if DG invest in 2 DBs in the first couple of picks, i would really hate the way he is building this team. this team would have no sorts of balance, and would not be able to compete in a league that is thriving on offense, and offense production.

Look at the mocks drafts.  Most of the early ones I have seen have at least 5 WRs coming off the board before 28th and at least 6 or 7 OTs.  Versus perhaps 2 corners.  I know that can change and right now everything is speculation.  I am just pointing out that when you draft for need instead of BPA, you end up reaching for guys and that can cause big problems.

 

Mentioning Carruth and Jarrett were a joke which is why I said the word seriously.  I hate when I have to spell out everything.

The mock drafts right now mean almost nothing. I never said to reach. Nothing about Gettleman seems like he will do something desperate.  But yes if you get 2 guys that are about even in talent then I think you should pick the WR over the corner.  Corner's are notorious for taking time to develop also. Everyone was in love with Claiborne when Dallas took him...meh. If we can get a Boldin or even Torrey Smith level WR there then sign me up

Rae Carruth in the 1st and Dwayne Jarrett in the top half of the second. How did they work out??

Seriously though, we do need WRs, I just think that we need an impact guy right away and for every wide receiver that plays wells there are 2 others who struggle their first year or two.

The other thing that matters is who are we talking about at 28th? Lets say it comes down to the 2nd best corner or the 7th best WR or the 9th best OT. I would prefer the corner in that case. Particularly if the guys at WR or OT can be found with similar talent in later rounds. When you pick 28th, the top guys at WR and OT will be long gone. We won't be having someone like Star fall into our laps this year.

Jordan Matthews with our first...the end. I could see that guy putting up 700 and six Tds his first year. Much like Keenan Allen

I really haven't looked at the draft regarding specific guys.  I tend to wait until closer to the combine and listening to the draft experts.  If we could get an impact guy in the first I wouldn't care what position he plays.  I am just a little leary of wide receivers given our historical trouble finding guys who actually develop.  Hopefully we do find some guys in free agency or the draft who can help the offense.  We surely know we need some help on that side of the ball.

this point blank

 

there's too many big guys coming out this year to pass on.

 

 

sidenote: we did have the number 2 overall defense, i would say losing hardy will play a bigger factor on d then getting a lockdown corner IMO cb should be address in the 3rd or later rounds

You do realize G-Man was behind the Amukamara pick, right?

We're picking 28th overall. The value for a WR and DB will be much higher than OT. Add to the fact that G-Man and The Giants have only drafted one OL in the first round in the last decade, I sincerely wouldn't get my hopes up.

Mark it down, a DB will be drafted in the first three rounds. You guys point to the OL being in flux but our secondary is in much worse condition this off-season.

 

Yup, but I do also know Gettleman is smart enough to draft people essential to scheme.  When Gettleman came here, he didn't bring Coughlin and his coaching philosophies with him.  He's smart enough to know to draft crucial positions for scheme and I have no doubt that First round will not be a Corner, 2nd maybe, but I doubt it, 3rd is a high chance as long as the value is there.

    • I just want to see a big guy with an NFL certified cannon arm suit up for the panthers again. To me, it will show that they are at least  trying to take the QB position in the direction it needs to go.   Will he throw picks? Yes. Probably a hell of a lot, but (for now) I’m strangely ok with that… for now. I at least need to see a dude that CAN make the throws with some semblance of accuracy.  This is the time to see what the QB whisperer is made of. The offensive talent is there. It’s certainly better than most rookie/journeymen QBs will ever step in to. If he can get a random dude playing at a JAG level, then I might be sold.  Andy could really surprise in the Buffalo game. He (for now) still has enough arm for Tet and XL to show what they’ve got, but we all know it’s only going to be good for 3-4 games, max. He has vet savvy, and that does account for a lot. He also has a full week of practice with all the snaps to prepare.  My best case scenario going forward: Andy plays the next 2 games nobly (winning one would be a huge bonus) giving White a chance to learn some of the playbook and develop chemistry with the players. Serviceable Andy turns in to old man Andy in game 3 and White takes the field after halftime.  A high ankle sprain (lol, sure it is) is an injury that can buy the team a LONG time for BY to ride the pine…. Maybe even IR. His peak trade value is now. Get what they can for this albatross. He’s now shown that he can be a mid level backup which does hold a significant value for the right team.  Not even in my wildest dreams do I see White being anything more than a JAG, but that’s ok. JAGs with a big arm make great bridge QBs that at least won’t have your play makers stagnating. Keeping BY under center is a 100% recipe for stagnating high ceiling (Tet/XL) dudes and/or not allowing them to take the next step in their development. Why even practice the good half of the playbook if the QB can’t make the throw? After a while, you’ve now got high ceiling guys who can only run a limited route tree. No thanks.
