REPORT: Joel Bitonio will be the pick at 28

All I know is damn, as much as making the playoffs is awesome, it sure does suck the fun out of draft day lol

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Mayock said on his draft special he thinks Oakland will trade up for our pick and we'll take bitonio with their 2nd round pick. I like this much better.

I would not have a problem with that.

The value is good, at 36, plus we get two extra picks.

Those two extra picks could also allow us to take a chance on some of the guys that fell due to injury (Hurst and Thomas).

[Smith vs Lucas]

I'd rather do that than pick shazier

 

BLASPHEMY!!!

[carolina-chuck]

Yup, not going to fall for it.

Trade down.

[Rags]

remember when we were a lock to pick coples?

Just trade all the picks for Cooks and be done with it

There's no such thing as "fact" when projecting NFL prospects, that's why there's busts and steals every single year.

this thread will be bumped in the future so i can remind you once dennard and/or lee proves themselves better

[Kuech the Sneak]

1. Joel Bitonio, OT, Nevada

2. Allen Robinson, WR, Penn State

3. Kareem Martin, DE, UNC

Lets do this. :P

Please and thank you

The way it looks from a value standpoint, there are a ton of guys we could use from the 35-55 value spots.  A very good area to have a couple picks

All this trade down talk...I just don't see it happening unless the perfect scenario comes up.

 

Gettleman has said before that when you trade down you talk yourself out of selecting a good player that is the highest on your board.

 

When asked about trading up, Gettleman responded "It's how much you're willing to give up...it's looking at the board too. But thinking that you're one player away gets you in trouble. It's about value. Is it possible? Anything is possible."

 

I see us more likely moving up 2-5 slots to secure a player we really like that can step in and help us immediately than trading down. I think ultimately we stay put at 28...but I'd say we are more likely to move a bit ever so slightly than to trade back into the second.

So now you're giving yourself an and/or option? Even if both turn out better, it won't make your initial statement anymore true. No matter what, there are no sure things in prospect evaluations.

If we don't trade up I'd be fine with him.

[Ivan The Awesome]

Talk about reaching...If they did this. It would be stupid. Just plain stupid. They clearly said they will not trade up or reach for need...I mean freaking A...Can't wait for the draft to be over with. All this idiotic speculation will be over with.
