I'm not sure who he meant by his 26th pick to Cleveland

 

He said Ryan Shazier, who is a LB

 

But he put CB, so that could mean Bradley Roby

 

I don't think we draft Moses at 28 even though he may be our first pick

 

I have a feeling someone is going to trade for our first in order to get Jimmy Garoppolo before the second round starts

Think he reaches a bit for the Panthers, glad he is no longer here

I think we're exactly in Moses' range (most have him as a late 1 early 2).  So he wouldn't be a reach at all.  And I think he truly will be in the discussion for 28, along with Verrett/Fuller at CB, and several WR's. 

 

Obviously, a lot will be determined by what we do in FA.  If we don't get at least a stopgap at LT, then the chances are that OT jumps way up on our team needs.  However, if the draft comes and we haven't picked up a FA and we don't go OT at 28, then I think we should steel ourselves for Bell as our starting LT.  Although I think WR will be their desired position, need may trump that playmaker they have talked about.

At 28, there will be no values at LT.  Moses, in my opinion is just a future RT.  Botonio is a possibility for LT because of his quickness, but don't think he starts his first season.

If we get Moses I hope it is in the second via a trade.

In that scenario I'd grab Benjamin or Cooks.

I'm not a huge Benjamin fan. I think he has potential, but he scares me (in a bad way) more so than any other WR. I'd prefer Cooks or OBJ if we go WR.

I've heard some analysts say that Moses looks more comfortable on the left side, but until this past year, played RT at Virginia.  So I think (hope) that he may be one of those guys that can be solid at either tackle spot.  And if we don't sign one in FA, he may be all that's standing between Bell starting at LT.

 

Now there are other guys that I have heard mixed things about.  Mewhort and Botonio are two guys that I've heard good things about, but some think both will be better suited at Guard, and Brandon Thomas is another guy I like, but he is probably only a RT.  So I guess we'll need to trust our talent evaluators to cut through the over analysis that we get from analysts..

I hear you - I like the idea of Benjamin more than what he has put on tape. He is very inconsistent in his effort and it's strange that he wasn't the #1 receiver on his team.

I'm liking OBJ the more of his tape that I watch. Would not at all be disappointed with him in the first.

If we would take Moses at 28, I don't see why we would trade down into the 2nd round to take him.

 

Hmmmmm

 

Generally, when you trade down, other teams give you picks to do so.  Why not get the same guy AND the extra pick?

 

That is the idea.

    • Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets   The Charlotte Hornets are coming off a promising 2025 NBA Draft class and will enter Summer League with no shortage of new faces looking to make an impression. But the most interesting addition didn’t come from the draft board. Instead, it’s DJ Rodman — the 24-year-old son of Hall of Famer and five-time NBA champion Dennis Rodman — who’s bringing some extra attention to the Hornets’ Summer League roster. Rodman played four years at Washington State before making the move to USC for his final season.  He wasn’t exactly lighting it up with the Trojans, putting up about 6 points, four boards, and an assist each game. But he did shoot well — hitting around 41% from the field and draining 36% of his three-pointers.  Standing 6-foot-6, he’s got the size to play on the wing and offers some versatility, which could be just what the Hornets are looking for as they try to fill out their roster. The Hornets’ Summer League squad already has plenty of fresh faces with this year’s draft picks and young guys fighting for a role. But Rodman’s last name alone is enough to turn heads, and now he’ll get his shot to prove he belongs once the games tip off in Vegas. Charlotte’s Summer League team is already drawing interest with recent draft picks and young players hoping to crack the rotation. But Rodman’s last name — and his potential to bring energy and toughness — adds another layer of intrigue. What Rodman lacks in college stats, he makes up for with hustle and competitiveness — traits his dad was known for throughout his Hall of Fame career. If he can bring that same energy and show growth in Summer League, he could carve out a role and surprise some people. Though the odds are against him making the Hornets’ final roster, there’s no denying the spotlight that comes with the Rodman name. The Hornets kick off Summer League next week in Las Vegas.   Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets
    • At this point, I only care what he does in 2025.  
    • Question to the posters on this thread because you are knowledgeable--I love watching and pull for the Canes, but I never played so I don't have the understanding I had when I played football then watched it.  Having said that, Do you think we are weak at Center?  I see the team to be pretty strong on the wings, promising defense, and weak at Goalie.  It would be ideal if the Canes had 1 more position to upgrade, not 2.  I don't think you can count on Anderson to play a full season and he is 35.  However, are we solid at Center in your view?
