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.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      Who is going to take a shot at Malik Willis

      By cranky · Posted

      So Willis had a good game against a poor defense and all of a sudden he is worth 50 million and is guaranteed to be better than Young. LOL I know he looked good in the 3 games he started, and I think he will have success long term, but anyone signing him up for a long term contract for 50 million is taking a huge risk.

      Is he really though? Rivera was past his prime and probably shouldn't have even started 2019 so his firing wasn't really unexpected or unwarranted. Rhule lasted two and a half years which was about one year too long in my opinion. Bringing him back that third year certainly wasn't impulsive and I would say Tepper was more patient than he should have been. Wilks finished out that third season and did pretty good but most everyone could see he really wasn't anything more than an intern HC. Bringing him back was not the long term answer so not bringing him back was the correct call. Hiring Reich was a mistake from the beginning and he recognized that fairly quickly. I am sure he knew he was going to catch a lot of sh*t for firing him so quickly ( and boy did he ) but it was absolutely the right thing to do given everything that was going on. The firing may have looked impulsive, but I think it was him recognizing he had royally f*ck up and just dealt with it instead of letting it fester.  That brings us to Canales. 2025 was only his second season and yet he delivered 8 wins and the NFC South title. And while that might not sound great, given the lack of talent and cap space they started with, it's a strong step in the right direction. I couldn't imagine Tepper not being pleased with their progress given the crap the Panthers' have been though under his ownership.
