I voted WR simply because I think it's likely that the top OTs are gone and there will be better value available at WR.  Guys I'd have no problem with at #28 who might actually be on the board include:

 

Brandin Cooks

Jordan Matthews

Kelvin Benjamin

Allen Robinson

 

Probably in that order.

This. Minus Kelvin Benjamin and adding Lee because it appears he might be there.

I'm just admittedly jaded by USC WRs.  The guy looks like the real deal, but so have several before him who didn't work out.  A USC WR who was widely touted as a top 10 pick who starts sliding and all of a sudden looks likely to be a late 1st round or 2nd round pick?  Yeah, we've seen that story play itself out before.  Right here in Charlotte.  Twice.

I want BPA regardless of position (excluding positions where we are set for years to come...MLB and QB for example). I think that we all, myself included, get caught up in positional needs when we should really just be looking for the best football player.

 

Normally I'd agree, but we just have such glaring holes at OT and WR that need has to take a bit of precedence at those positions.  Now obviously you're not going to draft a huge reach if there's a clearly better talent available, but given fairly closely ranked prospects, I would hope we'd hedge toward need.  Plus, with the WR depth in this class, I just can't see all the worthy guys being gone by #28 and I wouldn't want to risk waiting until the 2nd because I have a sneaking suspicion that there's going to be a big run on WRs in the 2nd round.  If we don't jump on one in the first, I fear that we'll be sadly disappointed by the available options at #60.

either LT or WR or top pass catching TE.

 

i eant us to double dip  OT and WR and pick up another CB.

 

I'd love to see a double dip at both OT and WR.  I think the depth in the class is definitely there at both positions to do it if we chose to do so.  Definitely at WR.  I think we're really fuging up if we don't end up with two WRs out of this draft.  This has a chance to be the strongest WR draft since '96 (Keyshawn Johnson, Terry Glenn, Marvin Harrison, Eric Moulds, Armani Toomer, Moose, T.O., Joe Horn).

I would say OL here, but unless Lewan freefalls, I'd say the value one would get @28 from a WR would be greater than you would get with a tackle that far down. 

 

Yep, Lewan is the one OT that I'd jump on in a heartbeat at #28.  Maybe Martin, but I just haven't seen enough ND football to form a legit opinion.  I know some are concerned about his size and arm length, but he's a near clone of Jordan Gross physically and I think we can all agree that #69 played pretty well for us.

    • Some fun facts on last nights game.
    • I was reading through the thread seeing if someone would mention this. This is exactly what the Canes are doing and Tripp Tracy alluded to it on the Spittin Chiclets podcast when he said Taylor Hall was our Sam Bennett. The Canes and Panthers have always played identical with the main difference being Florida toes the line between physical and dirty. The Canes have stepped up the physical play this year and are inching closer to that line of physical and dirty. If I’m being honest, as a Montreal fan I wouldn’t love the fact that the Canes seem to be targeting Hutson but as a Canes fan I love it because this is what you have to do in the playoffs. Unfortunately for Montreal they aren’t an overly physical team outside of Anderson and Xhekaj; only the Avs, Stars, and Sabres average less hits per game than Canadians in the playoffs. The Canadians can still make this a series if they stop playing scared and turning the puck over simply because they are getting elite goaltending while the Canes are getting average goaltending but if the Habs continue to play with the yips and either Andersen steps up or Dobes regresses then this series could end in five.
    • I guessed Andy Reid too on that Price is Right.As if I had any idea….
