Tackling

 

Cravens is the total package for OLB/S. The guy is a playmaker. Anyone who says he's not going in the first round is lost. Su'a at this point has hopped over Joseph in the pecking order.

I don't disagree that he is a great talent and in play at 30. He's not a round 1 lock though. That's my only point.

Using the NFL.com rankings /grades  (these are from 2 weeks ago, there may be some changes in rankings...) I highlighted players Panthers have met with.  It shows several distinct groups as I noted above.  DE/DT;  S / WR;  CB

Here are the top 30 players we've looked at, based on NFL.com grades:

I find it notable that we've visited with very few players ranked from 48 - 70.  It strongly suggests to me that we'll try to move up in round 2.

Very interesting. According to these rankings, Derrick Henry would not be a reach at #30.

Well, I guess that depends on who views him as a first round talent. Baltimore, New England and Pittsburgh are in love with him according to the rumors. He may not make it to 30. We'll see though.

Baltimore isn't picking him at 6 and New England doesn't pick until the end of the 2nd

I absolutely would love if Sterling Shepard is the one by the way. Kid has some game and would make his presence known from day one. I think that Cravens would do the same. I think Henry might not make as great of a day one impact, but that he would be very involved, and perhaps the most prolific overall going forward.

Shepard is terrific and he's apparently a great kid. Would be perfect as out slot WR.

  • 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)

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

I believe Dodd and Lawson will likely be gone by our pick so @ #30 my top choices would be Emmanuel Ogbah, Su'a Cravens or Corey Coleman. I believe Vonn Bell & Sterling Shepard could be very good players and are borderline 1st rounders.

I don't want a DT in the 1st round given the talent the Panthers already at that position so I didn't even consider A'shawn Robinson, Jarran Reed or Vernon Butler.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of immature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.

      I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch

      What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
