DeVante Parker scheduled to visit Panthers

Nice. Met with him at his Pro Day as well. Zero to slim chance he is there at 25. Maybe a target in the rumored 16-20 range if he slips which I doubt as well.

If I had to make an educated guess, it's pretty safe to assume that atleast 24 players won't be avaliable when we pick at 25.

I know this is a deep WR class, but IMO Cooper, White, Parker, and Strong are the clear cream of the crop.  After you get past those four, everyone has serious concerns.  Hands, level of competition, whatever. I'd feel very comfortable with either Parker or Strong in the 1st.

With the two 5th round compensatory picks in pocket, I could see us potentially trading up a few spots if the right guy begins to slip.  Compensatory picks can't be traded, but it can make you feel a little more comfortable with parting with other picks.

 

Not sure about trading up into the 16-20 range though.  That would get rather costly.  It would probably take our 1st and 2nd round picks to get up to 16.  1st and 3rd could potentially get us up to 20.  1st and 4th could potentially bump us up a couple of spots if need be to secure the guy we really want.

I could see us trading up to 22 to get ahead of the Lions if there is an OT Gettleman really likes. They have a pretty big need there and the Steelers are usually amenable to trading down. Our 1st and 4th is probably close to enough in value to make the deal, maybe toss in the 6th or 7th if he has to.

 

Cleveland had to give up a 1st and 3rd to get from 26 to 22 last year though so that could potentially stall a deal.

Damn, I forgot the Browns actually traded up to get Manziel.  They did the same thing with Brady Quinn back in '07.  It's safe to say that if the Browns trade into the #22 overall spot, they're gonna take a QB and he's gonna be a bust.  Brett Hundley, where you at?  LOL!

    • The difference is that Sanders has the work ethic and does work. Johnny didn't. Bad comp.
    • I explained that I was old school and I realize that others have a different opinion.  Being Deion's son is a bit different.   It suggests that his focus is on the money and not football--It is not just the diamonds--it is the dollar sign on the shirt.  Telling a reporter from the Raiders "I ain't going sixth."  Asking another reporter, "Do you know who my dad is?"  When asked what sets him apart from the others, he said that he is mentally more prepared.  Meanwhile, Dad as recently as March Deion, implied he would advise Shedeur to avoid certain franchises--later to retract that position during an interview with Skip Bayless.  You can't take the fact that he is probably a late first, early second round talent and ignore the fact that his comments, jewelry, $ on his shirts and uniform towels might suggest a feeling of entitlement, a person focused on the return more than the opportunity. As I said very clearly--this is my opinion about one person who was raised as a great player's son and how it might rub some the wrong way.  It comes off as entitled.  Fine if he lives up to it, but to me, it suggests that his mind might not be in the right place.  Perhaps he should be focused on humility, his work ethic, and how he is going to earn it--instead, this comes off as someone who thinks this is his reward.  I am sure that others feel the same way, but if I am the GM, I do not want the circus.  Remember Johnny?  I commented at the time that his money gesture would backfire.  It tells me that his mind was not in the right place.  Same thing.
