3 round projection has us taking 3 Seminoles.

 

https://www.google.com/amp/draftwire.usatoday.com/2017/01/16/2017-nfl-mock-draft-latest-3-round-projections-2/amp/

 

8. Carolina Panthers: Dalvin Cook, RB, Florida State

 

40. Carolina Panthers: DeMarcus Walker, EDGE, Florida State

 

72. Carolina Panthers: Roderick Johnson, OT, Florida State

 

Cook in the 1st round is a solid pick and has been discussed here before.  I wouldn't be unhappy with this pick.

 

Roderick Johnson in the 3rd would be nice to have blocking for Cook as they have worked together for a few years.  Can he start right away?  I don't know.  Would need Oher to hang around for at least one more year or bring in a vet to bridge the gap.

 

DeMarcus Walker in the 2nd?  Heck yeah.  Superb edge rusher that has versatility to play DL with his long arms in passing situations.  Some have him sneaking into the 1st round.  Charles Johnson's replacement?

 

3 Noles.  Discuss . . . Ready, set, go.

The only RB that should be considered in the top 10 is Fournette. I would be pretty pissed if we take Cook at 8. The other two would be decent picks though 

Fournette was already off the board in this draft.  Maybe Malik Hooker taken 2 picks later by the Bills would have suited you better?

Cook may be a top 10 back, but I don't think he fits what we're trying to do, so I agree.

Yeah, I just have a hard time taking RB so high. There are amazing RBs that come out of nowhere so often that taking one top 10 better damn near be a lock hall of famer to be worth it.

David Johnson- 3rd round

Jamaal Charles- 3rd round

Le'veon Bell- 2nd round

LeSean McCoy- 2nd round

Devonta Freeman- 4th round

Hell, guys like Arian Foster and Willie Parker went undrafted. To make a top 10 pick worth it, you better damn sure be getting the next Adrian Peterson or LaDanian Tomlinson. Otherwise it's just not worth drafting that position so high.

So am I the only person that isn't keen on picking a RB in the first round? Honestly think there could be a much better pick than that at #8. 

I do agree but still wouldn't be disappointed with Cook. Malik Hooker or Solomon Thomas are the only other two left on the board at this point that I would consider a good pick for us.

If you're putting it like that, I'd definitely not pick Cook. Especially with a day one starter like Hooker. Heck even Thomas.

    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
