INTERESTING NOTE:Gettleman has 1st rounders in for a pre draft visit. (self.panthers)

submitted 12 hours ago by BananaGooP

In every year that Dave Gettleman has been the GM he has had the player he picks in the first round in for a pre-draft visit. In 2015 he had Shaq Thompson and D.J. Humphries in.(Humphries would have been the pick if Arizona had not picked him first) In 2014 he had Kelvin Benjamin, Kony Ealy and Corey(Philly) Brown in for pre draft visits. In 2013 he had Kawann Short in, and 2 unnamed players. I would wager a good amount of money that one of those 2 unnamed was Star.

Because of this it is likely that their 2016 pick has already been in for a visit. We can eliminate all players who have not met with Carolina for a workout of private meeting because everything else is not "official." Next we can eliminate players who are clearly not first rounders. There is a handful of prospects who are likely second round picks on this list, but they are not clearly out of the first round and therefore should be included. The STMs are likely private meetings or workouts. I also believe Shepard has been in for a visit. Now here is the list:

• Vonn Bell, S, Ohio State (STM)
• Tyler Boyd^, WR, Pittsburgh (COM, WOR)
• Vernon Butler^, DT/NT, Louisiana Tech (SR, WOR, PRI)
• Corey Coleman, WR, Baylor (STM)
• Su'a Cravens, OLB, USC (STM)
• Kevin Dodd, DE, Clemson (PRI)
• Derrick Henry^, RB, Alabama (STM, PRI)
• Germain Ifedi^, OT, Texas A&M (COM, PRI, WOR)
• Jayron Kearse, S, Clemson (STM)
• Shaq Lawson^, DE/3-4OLB, Clemson (PRI, WOR)
• Emmanuel Ogbah, DE/3-4DE, Oklahoma State (WOR)
• Jarran Reed^, DT/3-4DE/NT, Alabama (WOR, PRI)
• A'Shawn Robinson, DT/3-4DE/NT, Alabama (PRI)
• Sterling Shepard, WR, Oklahoma (COM)
• Darian Thompson^, S, Boise State (PRI, WOR)

From this list my bet would be IF Lawson, Ogbah, Robinson or Coleman fall they will be picked up and outside of that I would say it is likely Su'a Cravens, Vonn Bell, or Germain Ifedi.

• Sterling Shepard, WR, Oklahoma (COM)
• Darian Thompson^, S, Boise State (PRI, WOR)

Looking at this list, Boyd, Kearse, Bell and Thompson are not 1st round talents. And Robinson will certainly be gone the time we pick.

Unless you know what players are 1st round grade by Gettleman this list is partially incomplete 

 

[TheSpecialJuan]

 

• Vernon Butler^, DT/NT, Louisiana Tech (SR, WOR, PRI)
• Corey Coleman, WR, Baylor (STM)
• Su'a Cravens, OLB, USC (STM)
• Kevin Dodd, DE, Clemson (PRI)
• Derrick Henry^, RB, Alabama (STM, PRI)
• Germain Ifedi^, OT, Texas A&M (COM, PRI, WOR)
• Emmanuel Ogbah, DE/3-4DE, Oklahoma State (WOR)
• Jarran Reed^, DT/3-4DE/NT, Alabama (WOR, PRI)
• Sterling Shepard, WR, Oklahoma (COM)

Now, 1 and probably 2 of those DE will be gone at 30. Let's assume it's Lawson. 

We're left with these options.

Gettleman sees this list and is thrilled. He knows he's going to get difference maker. He just has to choose which one he likes best.

Of that list, I'd take Coleman or Shepard and not think twice about it.  Outside of WR, I'd think hard about Butler.  I think we'll draft our safety in the second round.

[L-TownCat]

Nice list.  I like Daves chances in the first this year.  Whoever it is will be a solid contributor next year and more than likely a star judged by the last 6-7 drafts.

[UnluckyCharms]

Gentleman could draft me right off of my sofa and I would have faith that id be a difference maker if he told me so. That man can draft

Cravens next to Kuechly and Thompson would be phenomenal for years to come. 

[stirs]

ifedi is a second rounder in my opinion, and Gman not likely to take Olineman in the first

DE's, in my mind are the most likely target, second round might see us moving up for a DT is a first round grade guy falls far enough

[juliosantos]

didn't we meet with tredwell as well?
