Rivera confirms Panthers will be drafting a RB

[NcPsa10]

I think if gurley is there we pick him if he checks out good to go , You cant pass on him at 25th he is only 20 years old, limit his play time this year and watch him be our star Rb for years to come ,,

Carolina general manager Dave Gettleman really likes Georgia running back Todd Gurley , expected to be one of the top two backs selected in the draft.

“What a nice guy," Gettleman said. “Gosh! What a nice kid."

That Rivera quote is the most ridiculous contradictory thing I've ever read. It's just press fodder. 

 

We need a compliment to Jonathan to have a good two back tandem, but we have to spread it to Fozzy and Tolbert too. 

 

We need him to be waiting in the wings, but wait we also need him to be a contributor, but we also need Fozzy/Tolbert to contribute too.

Deepest rb class in a long time and we have more picks than we have had in a long time and more trade possibilies. I think RB may be one of their top priorities and I am confident we are going to get an excellent one in the draft

[Mother Grabber]

RBs have a very short life span, I'd rather take a back in the 2nd. A 1st should be not only for someone you think will start, but someone you think will start for 10 years.

I'd be really surprised if we only gave him 15 carries a game... that's only 240 over a whole season. I really think his workload will be closer to 300 touches (carries + catches) this season. 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

I just can't see picking a Rb in the first. Stewart has injury concerns I get that draft a guy later on or pick up a vet I hope we don't waste a 1st on a Rb though that would really piss me off.

It all depends on who is available. I honestly would love to draft a Rb in latter rounds. Yeldon, Langford, Ajayi and Johnson could all be drafted in latter rounds. Drafting a RB in the first round isn't a good idea but drafting Gurley in the first sure is tempting.

This will be my reaction if we draft a runningback in the first

I would take Gurley in the first.  Stewart is only going to be here this season.  I see no way Stewart stays on next season.  Give Gurley one year behind Stewart and he will be ready to start in 2016.

Does Todd stay in the top 25 tho....will someone else get him?

[SIGCHI222]

If we pick Gurley in the 1st, he's not getting a paltry 8-10 touches a game you can count on that.

yeah, well, you think Geno is better than Cam.
