Official NFL Draft Round 1 Thread - General Chatter

I love it!!! Welcome Shaq!!!!

[Carl Spackler]

I'm not really that against it, with the 25th pick you're not picking blue chippers most of the time and you're looking for talent. Shaq is pretty skilled and is versatile.

 

But damn, will we ever truly invest in starting OL or just keep searching the bargain bin? I'd be a lot more pissed if Humphries was there and we passed on him. But after him I didn't see a huge star left, and Shaq is good depth at the very least.

best LB corps in the league hands down 

[KillerKat]

Another year of Cotchery at #2 WR!!! yayy!!

 

I would not blame Cam for running away once his contract is up.

[Chief Keek]

All this buttmad about picking Shaq, still got the 2nd Round tomorrow to find a WR or OT good grief.

[Byrdman4real]

You guys complaining are the same ilk that complained when we picked Luke.

But where did that get our offense, love Luke but damn our offense blows

Doesn't sound like a first rounder.

Panthers selected Washington LB Shaq Thompson with the No. 25 overall pick in the 2015 NFL draft.

Thompson (6'0/228) earned the 2014 Paul Hornung Award as the nation's most versatile player, finishing his three-year career with 15 tackles for loss, three forced fumbles, and five interceptions. Thompson scored six TDs in 2014, including three on fumble returns and two at running back. He ran 4.64 with a 33 1/2-inch vertical and 9-foot-9 broad jump at the Combine. Not athletic enough for safety and small for linebacker, Thompson is a tweener prospect who may open his career as a dime defender in Carolina's sub-packages. GM Dave Gettleman likely views Thompson as SLB Thomas Davis' long-term heir apparent. Apr 30 - 10:47 PM

who else could we have drafted lol? all the top OT prospects were gone, there were only 3 WR's with a round 1 grade, Gurley was gone.

 

 

 

at the minimum Shaq plays beside Luke for the next 10 years

I wonder which DE we'll pick tomorrow.

[JJman Returns]

I can't believe people still doubt DG. The man has a plan and knows how to draft. Great pick.

[yasuhara2241]

No OTs on the board. No DEs that fit our team. A ton of WRs that can be had with our 2nd pick. 

 

Sooooo this is a great pick. He can do a little of everything and I just like the playmaking ability. 

[MrBubba]

Could have picked Gregory is something to be positive about. #RUNFORYOURLIFECAM

I'm happy as can be
