David Newton's Combine Preview

You have the usual suspects (except possibly Shaq Evans) Newton does seem to suggest that LT will become the priority in the first round if the right one is available depending on the status of Jordan Gross.  He also seems to suggest a more blurry line from round 1 to 2 regarding quality receivers (in other words, we don't have to make a WR the top priority in round 1 in lieu of a tackle or corner). Like many of us predict, the BPA is probably which way we're going, but of course we'll get a better picture once we make some moves in FA.

 

Possibilities at 28:

 

WR: Oregon State's Brandin Cooks, Florida State's Kelvin Benjamin, LSU's Jarvis Landry, UCLA's Shaq Evans. :

OT: Virginia's Morgan Moses, Tennessee's Antonio Richardson, Ohio State's Jack Mewhort;

CB: Florida's Marcus Roberson, Virginia Tech's Kyle Fuller, Nebraska's Stanley Jean-Baptiste. 

 

 

Other needs: Don't be surprised to see Carolina go after a tight end to give quarterback Cam Newton another option there after Greg Olsen, a linebacker and a backup quarterback in the late rounds. Clemson quarterback Tajh Boyd could be an intriguing pick if he falls to the fifth round as ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper has projected. He has many of the same qualities Newton has as a running quarterback and could learn a lot from Newton as he makes the transition into the NFL. Tight end actually was under consideration last year when Lotulelei became available.

I really like newton he has given good insight and is well informed unlike other talking heads

Morgan Moses looks like a real possibility for us in the 1st if we don't go WR.  Those UVA tackles have a good NFL success rate and he started like every year.  He could begin at RT and eventually go to LT.

Shaq evans at 28? please no.

Shaq evans at 28? please no.

That was a wtf moment for me

would not be opposed at all to Boyd in later rounds. If we can groom him correctly the guy has loads of talent. could end up paying off big down the road in a trade to another team 

 

or could potentially save a season if Cam gets hurt

Who the fug is Shaq Evans? Unless big names fall we wil likely pick up a second round graded player at #28 unless we go for a position other than WR,OT.

Good article but I also have to believe TE is an option for us at 28 as well.
