lol last one is to reunite Cam with a national championship buddy.. pretty much best available for weapons we need. AJ Cann is going to be a solid pro for a long time.. love to have that upcoming leader on the line. Sammie Coats is a big speedy WR,, Mike D is built like a running back and can catch, and turn up the speed very quick. Kevin White has shut down great WR this year and seems to have that panther d mentality..

Didn't Dres Anderson blow his knee out last month?

Lawdy, two young OGs that still could be good (Norwell, Turner) on the roster with gaping holes at OT and across from KB and you take an OG with our first pick?  I would not be happy with this draft at all, no offense.  I really strongly believe our first pick either needs to be Cooper or a top LT.  If NEITHER is available, and the #2 WR isn't worth it that high, and we can't trade back, then start looking at Safeties and CBs, or even DEs if we don't resign Hardy.

I've been kinda partial to FanSpeak's simulator since last year.  Decided to give them a whirl.  Here's the first draft results:

 

6: R1P6

WR AMARI COOPER

ALABAMA

38: R2P6

OT CAMERON ERVING

FLORIDA STATE

70: R3P6

S KARL JOSEPH

WEST VIRGINIA

102: R4P6

WR JUSTIN HARDY

EAST CAROLINA

134: R5P6

OT DARYL WILLIAMS

OKLAHOMA

166: R6P6

RB JONATHAN WILLIAMS

ARKANSAS

198: R7P6

OLB MICHAEL ORAKPO

TEXAS STATE

 

The double WR-OL pattern wasn't intentional (not the second combo anyway), but that's how the board fell at each of the picks.  I like the idea.

[JawnyBlaze]

For my second attempt I wanted to see how it would fall if I went OT with the first pick, and loandbehold the Jets took Cooper the pick before ours so it made it easy.

 

6: R1P6

OT BRANDON SCHERFF

IOWA

38: R2P6

WR DORIAL GREEN-BECKHAM

MISSOURI

70: R3P6

WR RASHAD GREENE

FLORIDA STATE

102: R4P6

CB QUANDRE DIGGS

TEXAS

134: R5P6

OT DARYL WILLIAMS

OKLAHOMA

166: R6P6

S SAM CARTER

TCU

198: R7P6

OLB NORKEITHUS OTIS

NORTH CAROLINA

 

If DGB's character concerns are too great, Kevin White - WVU would be a good substitute at that pick.

[JawnyBlaze]

And for my third and final draft I wanted to see what I'd do if I only took 1 WR, since I think we only really need 1.  It's just a big need for that 1.

 

6: R1P6

WR AMARI COOPER

ALABAMA

38: R2P6

RB MELVIN GORDON

WISCONSIN

70: R3P6

OT JAKE FISHER

OREGON

102: R4P6

CB DAMIAN SWANN

GEORGIA

134: R5P6

OT ERIC LEFELD

CINCINNATI

166: R6P6

DE HENRY ANDERSON

STANFORD

198: R7P6

S BRISON WILLIAMS

SOUTH CAROLINA

 

First thing that will jump out at people is Gordon being available in the 2nd.  Might not happen, but the first RB off the board in a few recent drafts has happened in the 2nd.  It's possible.  Also, I didn't address OT as highly as I would have liked to, but hopefully one of the two guys would be at least an upgrade to Bell.  (They probably could walk off their campuses right now onto the Panthers practice field and start right away...)  Also, I looked up Henry Anderson and I like the thought of getting him late.  He's a big guy, listed at 6'6 295 lbs and good stats.  Makes me think JJ Watt.  Obviously not the prospect Watt was, but he could be used in 3-4 looks or as an investment in a future switch if it's being thought about.

Haha no offense taken.. it was a bad draft and I took a few trades lol

 

I still think AJ Cann could take over Amini with Norwell spelling Turner and Cann

 

a few stud RBs in this class, but as long as were stuck w Stew and Deangellos contracts no way we could waste a pick on one.

 

Really hope DG takes a look at big schools with big players in big conferences. Do we have any extra picks this year? Or missing any picks?

We might get a comp pick or two.  No trades have either taken from nor given us picks.  And I definitely agree about the big school part.  I'm sick and tired of the Silatolus, Kugbilas, Armanti Edwards, etc.  Pick guys that have shown they can play with the big boys.

 

[JawnyBlaze]

And I have a feeling we won't be stuck with Deangelo's contract much longer (not all of it anyway, shouldn't be TOO much dead money left by now).

[JawnyBlaze]

I think we should trade our first round pick.  It's clear that GM wants to build this team as cheap as possible, which means we need to go heavy in the draft.  This year's draft seems to be deep in the early rounds, but after about the 4th round, the talent level drops off a bit.  Trading our first round pick could be beneficial.  Plus, we should be given some compensatory picks this year as well.
