The man we're all forgetting at 8

DT meet LB, LB meet DT.

I've become ok with the idea that he will be our pick at 8 IMO.  If Fournette and Adams are gone by our spot, I have no doubt that Allen will be our pick and I've become ok with this idea.  His measurables are very close to Greg Hardy, just with a lot less baggage and with his motor and versatility, I think he has very good chance of being better than Greg.

Let's sign Selleck instead. He's already got money.

Dont think he will drop to 8

[panthers55]

I bet the front office hasn't forgotten about him.

[SOJA]

the shoulders scare me, also Alabama defensive players scare me in general, I'd rather take a flyer on Howard, but I won't be upset with Allen 

[PappyMay]

I'd love this pick at 8. Why in the world are you guys saying Bama Defensive players dont pan out? Landon Collins, HaHa Clinton Dix, Marcell Dareus, Donta Hightower, Dre Kirkpatrick, and Reggie Ragland all come to mind off top of my head.

With Tom's mustache I could see him going higher than 8. Lean, quick, and aggression is what best describes him.

I've already expressed my opinions on Allen in multiple threads since the season ended. He's far from "forgotten." I even recently said somewhere that don't be suprised if hes the pick at 8 because of the shoulder stuff.

Personally, I don't want another Dlineman unless its a dominating DE. I don't want Thomas or Allen because they played primarily on the inside and we already selected DT in last first round and then also in recent memory with Short and Star. There's just no point in overloading your first round talent on one or two positions, it makes the talent level of the team unbalanced and you're going to end up struggling in areas you shouldn't be in my opinion.

You wonder why Cam always has to play with subpar talent and role players for the most part of his career on offense? Its because this organization loves to spend high picks on defense every draft unless there's an emergency situation (i.e. Steve Smith leaving in 2013) . If they make an offense minded draft for once I think that will be huge for giving Cam more talent to work with.

We've already seen Cam be an MVP with the likes of Ginn, Brown, and Funchess playing receiver and an oline with weak tackles. Give Cam a mega talent WR with wheels like John Ross , Dede Westbrook, Isaiah Ford, get a good young RB to spell Stewart and eventually replace him,  get some decent tackles for depth and maybe one of them turns out to be good enough to be a starter .. that's what they should do. Bonus if they get another pass catching TE as well, but I know that's asking for too much with 4 offfense picks in one draft for a defense minded organization like the Panthers. What I want is Offense in round 1 and with both 2nd rounders, they can use the rest of the draft for defense...

This all day, although the vaule is higher on the defensive side this draft, if the defense doesn't add one more player the rest of the offseason I still think they are top 5-10. I can't say the same for the offense

Nice write up on Allen...I would love this guy if our top targets get plucked.

[JARROD]

Dave be Dave-- if we take him it's because Dave believes he's the BPA others be damned.

So be mad or don't-- it's not up to us.
