Why Ryan Shazier is the BPA.

[frash.exe]

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.

Yea and remember that one year I said draft cam newton and we did and he was one of the best players we ever picked, so let's take a quarterback this year

Just remember defense wins championships, not #1 WRs.(see megatron)

bruh I'm gonna parrot football cliches to make my point bruh defense wins championships bruh and drafting a WR means you can't have a good defense bruh

[Argus Plexus]

Please get here soon, draft. Tired of speculation and baseless conjecture.

Unless we free up some money we cannot buy a hot dog and a drink.

Someone pointed out that we have close to $5 mil in cap space and at this point some of these players aren't in the scenario where they can turn down money.

I was sold on this.  Then I started thinking.  Why is a 250 lb who ran a 4.36 40 at the combine

not being considered in the top 20?

 

I'm guessing his instincts, etc.  Now I'm a little worried about him.

 

But the thought of a young Thomas Davis next to Luke is nice, especially since

Davis is getting VERY expensive in the near future.

[Peppers90 NC]

he would have to be much better than the best T, WR or CB on the board but i wouldnt be shocked or mad if he was our choice.  after last year, our offense certainly needs some help.

[bleys]

if Shazier is available at #28, the question I'd rather ask is can we trade back and acquire 3 total 2nd round picks to address WR and T?

[Montsta]

42" is ridiculous for anybody.

Good point lol

[jayflip]

Am I the only one who wants us to draft another white linebacker with a 'K' last name?

With Davis and Blackburn both on the wrong side of 30, and Gettleman's clear desire to "keep your strengths strong," I am more and more convinced that this guy will be our pick if he's there for us at the bottom of the first. I can just see Gettleman watching his tape and drooling at the thought of having this guy and his speed on the weak side next to Kuechly. And I'm warming to the idea.

keep strengths strong at the expense of the weakest points keeping your QB upright and/or providing him more/better targets?

i have a hard time believing this. if this is what we're going to do, i'm going to doubt that we are any better off with gettleman than hurney.

we didn't do poo to help out the OL despite losing our LT leaving us with a vacuum of talent at both tackle spots. we have old JAG WRs and DBs which are obvious weak links on our team andbwe decide to upgrade our already stacked LB corps because we might possibly lose one in. couple years? meh.

[WOW!!]

Totally agree.

You're pretty much drafting a player in the 1st round (who might not start) for a year later??

I don't think we have that luxury yet.

[FuFuLamePoo]

if he falls i wouldn't be shocked if we snagged him

I hear you completely. I personally have been calling for O line the last two years on the same premise. I also am a firm believer that if you always draft based on today's needs, you will never get ahead. I'm just saying, there are clearly multiple ways to build a team, and the position selected in one pick in one round in one year does not a 53 man roster make."

Again, I totally understand your argument. Just saying that the thought of another young, elite linebacker with insane speed next to Keek sounds more desirable the more that I think about it.

if you ignore your needs but keep your strengths strong, you don't get better.

if you don't get better, you get worse.

our weak spots got weaker this offseason. it makes no sense to ignore them so your strong points can stay strong.
