Why buy a new sports car with no wheels? Our o-line wouldnt be abe to make running lanes for the kid

Same could be said for Peterson.  Minnesota hasn't had a great line for a while, but the man still produced monster numbers when he was playing.  You can't pass on talent like that.  I doubt the FO would either.

With 50 mill in cap room.  That's what our GM is for.  

I dont know why people think we can't get a RB and upgrade the Oline lol

Its really not that hard to "try" to do

I agree 100%. Draft the kid use the money we have and get some decent offensive tackles. And looking at this kid on film he is by far the best RB I have seen in awhile. He might be a bust but you have to take a chance if he is available. So if we lose the rest of the games from here on out, it could be a good thing for us next season.

Fournette is indeed worth a Top 10 pick, and last I checked.  Jonathan Stewart is 28 years old.  Fournette would be a phenomenal get for us. 

I don't doubt he will go as a yop 10 but my assessment is he is not worth that.  I say this a lot on the board about schools and how some crank out certain positions. LSU is lineman and dbs and wrs. Not so much rbs. 

I think the kid from Pitt would be a bettet fit and long term better player AND  can get later.

I would get a OT that can cover the left side for the next 7 yrs and the Pitt rb in the 2nd.

 

[chknwing]

seeing how Dallas struck gold with their RB pick and their late QB pick, other teams may follow that plan an not draft a QB high

There aren't any OT's worth a damn in this Draft.

Ok

Elite run game changes everything. Pass rush changes everything.

The Panthers are going to have to be bold for once. Everybody knows you need a DE. Everybody knows you need a future #1 RB.

7 is so close to the top, trade up. Get Garrett. Get Fournette, because he ain't falling to 7 if he is what he seems to be.

Atlanta went and got Julio. Not a lot of teams are a player or three away from another conference championship. The Panthers IMO are. 

RB usually contribute sooner than DE's though.

Lmao, I remember McShay saying there were no franchise worth qbs in last years class as well, oops. There are two first round qbs in this class.

Not really. Wilson in 2012 didn't stop the idiot teams from drafting horrible QBs high.

Todd McShay first 2017 NFL Mock Draft     The mock draft below, our first to preview 2017, projects all 32 first-round picks. It goes without saying that a lot will change between now and April 27, including the draft order, team needs and the grades of many of our top prospects, as we continue our tape evaluations and dig deeper into intangibles and medical status.  1. Cleveland Browns Jonathan Allen, DE, Alabama Let's get this out of the way: No QB in this class is worth the No. 1 pick. The Browns just need more good football players. Allen is a total game-plan wrecker along the defense front (13 tackles for loss, 15 QB hurries). Texas A&M pass-rusher Myles Garrett also figures to be in the mix here. 2. San Francisco 49ers Myles Garrett, DE/OLB, Texas A&M* Considering the lack of elite QB/WR talent in this class, the 49ers would be thrilled to see Garrett fall to them at No. 2. Tied with LSU RB Leonard Fournette for my best grade in this class, Garrett is the most disruptive pass-rusher in college football, with 21 sacks and 20 QB hurries in 23 games the past two seasons. 3. Jacksonville Jaguars Jamal Adams, S, LSU* Assuming he leaves school early, Adams will be one of the most complete players in this draft. He can stuff the run as an in-the-box safety, he can cover and he's a great leader to bring into your locker room. The Jaguars need to continue to invest resources in their secondary. 4. Chicago Bears Jabrill Peppers, S/OLB, Michigan* The Bears are another team likely to be in the market for a QB this offseason without a good option at the top of the draft. Peppers would make sense, given Chicago's lack of difference-makers in the secondary. He's a true hybrid player, with the speed and athleticism to thrive in space and the toughness to play bigger than his 205-pound frame. 5. Tennessee Titans (from Rams) Marshon Lattimore, CB, Ohio State* The Titans have the good fortune of not needing to even consider a quarterback with the pick they received in the Jared Goff trade. Lattimore could use some more game experience, but if he leaves Columbus early, CB-needy teams such as the Titans could be enticed by the natural talent he has displayed on the perimeter in his first year as a starter. 6. New York Jets Tim Williams, OLB, Alabama Williams is disruptive -- if a little inconsistent -- with excellent first-step quickness off the edge. Nearly all of his tackles for loss this season came against SEC opponents (14 of the 15.5 total). A pass-rusher could very well be near the top of the Jets' needs by the time April rolls around. 7. Carolina Panthers Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU* Fournette hasn't budged from the No. 1 spot in my prospect rankings all season. He is a rare talent for the position, the best college running back I've evaluated since Adrian Peterson in 2007. And though he has been hampered by an ankle injury all season, he has put up off-the-charts production when healthy. It would be great value for the Panthers if Fournette were to fall out of the top five.

Well I think Todd gets his draft right about 3 % of the so expect someone else.. and I wish I could speculate who too early for me too care!

Did you even watch our last two drafts? Who the fug was expecting a linebacker and then a fuging DT in the first? If anything Gettleman will do the exact opposite of what you want or expect in the first round.

Watson as our pick confirmed, we will convert him to a punter, it's so genius none of us can understand but Gettleman will show us the way.

Step 1-stay at 7.  Being at 7 does make it possible to move up, or back, or stay put, all with pros and cons, but all to the envy of all other contenders over the next 3-5 years.  Need to lose to the Redskins.
