Why Ryan Shazier is the BPA.

[philp]

considering TD will cost close to 10 mi next year, it could happen.

[Ace_Aladdin]

Why anyone would be upset with this pick is beyond me.

There are four WR's (Watkins, Evans, Beckham, and Cooks) and four T's (Robinson, Matthews, Lewan, and Martin) that scream first round pick.

If one of those guys aren't there and you feel like Shazier is an impact player, then take him.

Also, let's not forget one of our LB's is still playing on a knee that has been surgically repaired three times. If for some awful reason TD went down, we would be in some deep poo.

Coaches want a LT ..  :rr:

[WOW!!]

keep your strengths stron and ignore your weak spots.

makes sense.

need has to factor in if you aren't going to address it in FA.

LB is anything but a need.

i don't care how good he is. we need OL. we need receivers/pass catchers. we need DBs. we might need DE.

we need LB as much as we need DT and QB.

i wouldn't be happy with this pick, esp. if we did poo to address needs early.

Agreed.

Then add in the money already allocated and will be allocated to the position and we're getting into another to positions with to much money in it.

SEE RB'S.

With that logic we should draft a RB

Didn't realize DeAngelo Williams got hurt last year.

Stewart hasn't started consistently in three years meaning your argument has no validity to it.

[Cary Kollins]

then what do you do about OL and other big areas of need? hope that the table scraps you are left with doesn't poo the bed?

Yeah I mean the logic would be Shazier becomes a 22 year old Thomas Davis. With Kuechly, Star, Hardy* they form the best defense in league for next 10 years.

Make due at OL until next season if you can. That's the logic behind the pick IMO. He'll probably be gone before our pick so moot point anyway.

They said that was the priority... they also said reaching will screw you and that if their is a premier pass rusher at the 28th pick... they'll take him.

They said a lot of things and most of it was blowing smoke. We are two weeks from the draft, expect a lot of this type of chatter to come out of every organization now.

Every year:

1. Some wr prospect is compared to Steve Smith

2. Someone wants us to draft a linebacker just for the hell of it

No exceptions

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

So does the fanbase know that you can sign free agents after the draft?

We signed two players (Florence and Mikell) after the draft that eventually started for us, there are other ways to address needs than just the draft.

[mc52beast]

Being a transplanted Buckeye I would love to see him play for Carolina, I just don't think he'll drop to 28.

[carolina-chuck]

?

Shazier could transition to Safety

[KSpan]

If Shazier is BPA at 28, somebody might make a nice offer for the pick.

Well if that certain someone said we should draft Keuchly. Which btw was who I wanted us to draft in 2012. I think its a good idea. Shazier would make a bigger impact than a late 1st round grade WR. We are a hard hitting defensive team. our own coach used to play linebacker in the NFL for a superbowl winning team. He could coach this kid up to be great, He already has that killer instinct like Keuchly. Just remember defense wins championships, not #1 WRs.(see megatron)
