Dave Gettleman trades back into Round 1....

[Bronn]

It is hard to predict. I think 23 would be the range that Mike Williams or Corey Davis is going to slide to for a multitude of reasons, and I think they'd actually be better fits for us than McCaffrey at that point.

I can't even call our pick at #8 at this point, but I think safe money is that the following players won't be available when we pick:

Myles Garrett
Mitch Trubisky
Jonathan Allen
Jamal Adams
Malik Hooker
Leonard Fournette
Deshaun Watson

That leaves my big board for the Panthers looking like:

Solomon Thomas
Mike Williams
Marshon Lattimore
Marlon Humphrey
Derek Barnett
Corey Davis
Jabrill Peppers
Ryan Ramczyk
Reuben Foster
OJ Howard

23, to me at least, would be prime real estate for Bolles or a DB. Too early for McCaffrey and Kamara and too late for Howard or Ramczyk. 23 would probably be perfect position for Mike Williams or Corey Davis, as I think they are both going to slide a bit barring some superstar interview.

Hypothetical:  Nippleshorts packages our two second round picks and trades back into round one.  For sake of argument, he trades with the Giants and gets their 23rd pick.  What would be your favorite round 1 combo?

We did the RB, Tackle combo in 2008. We preceded to get knocked out of the playoffs that year, and didn't make it back until 2013. No way I want this to happen. NO WAY.

I selected other. OJ Howard and Christian McCaffrey/Derek Barnett

This would be mine. Howard and McCaffrey to instantly upgrade the passing game. 

[heel31ok]

Ross/Ramcyk

[AceMan]

Right now, I'm going with OJ Howard/John Ross

That's pretty much what this draft looks like.  We would have to try really hard to mess this up...

[top dawg]

You probably have to get Bolles in there somewhere. 

Fournette/Davis

Fournette/Howard

Howard/Davis

Davis/Bolles

Fournette/Bolles

Howard/Bolles

OJ Howard + Best RB/WR at the bottom of round 1.

[tiger7_88]

Howard/McCaffrey might even make an idiot like Shula competent. 

I vote Howard/McCaffrey.

[MechaZain]

Howard and McCaffrey or Ross.

Bring in some sure hands for Cam boyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...

[Shermdog]

Any combination of Solomon Thomas/Ross/Howard 

[KaseKlosed]

Fournette/ OJ Howard

[Hoenheim]

S. Thomas and McCaffrey two game changers on offense and defense. Although I don't believe S. Thomas will be dropping to us at 8, after Allen's shoulder concerns Thomas probably goes top 5 now.

S.Thomas  is the best DE in the draft besides Garrett , I don't really need to say much about him. He's a gamewrecker and fills a need for a young pass rusher on our team.

Yeah Stewart is 30 and overpaid but he's still a damn good RB when healthy. McCafrey gives us a different kind of RB that is faster, much more elusive, can catch and recieve very well, great checkdown option for Cam in short yardage situations, and a GREAT PR/KR . McCaffrey doesn't need to be a bellcow and could be great if the Panthers use him well. Have Stew be the punisher and have Christian be the elusive home run hitter. IMHO a homerun threat RB is something we've been missing since Deangelo left (admittedly he had been declining in his last season or so but you get my point).
 

I really view McCaffrey as both a RB, WR, and a KR/PR guy. If he is used in all those roles as a multi threat like he was in college I think he could thrive even on our team, just have to play to his strengths and not run him up the gut every single time..

O J Howard may not even make it to number 8

i am terrified of this. if i am on anyone's bandwagon, its his. i really like a combo of him and McCaffery. would like it even better if we could get McCaffery at pick 40 without trading up.
