FWIW, I think when all is said and done Newsome ends up being the best CB out of this draft.

I can totally see this. Newsome is as technically sound as they come.

For what its worth, Daniel Jeremiah thinks we are going to take Patrick Surtain. 

Doesnt have the long speed, Slater or Bama WRs should be rated much higher. I do remember the panthers DB coach(i cannt spell Fisbee jackson....) ran Surtain in some drills at bamas pro-day. Horn >> Sustian too. Id also 100% take Kwity Paye over Sus...

Surtain is very well regarded in NFL circles and is a clean prospect. I personally have Horn ranked higher but either one at 8 is cool with me.

Ugh

What is the hit rate of top 10 pick corners the last decade?

Also, will a corner really make or break this team? I feel like corner isn't going to move the needle.

It's a piece of the puzzle but its not as big a piece as LT

That's what he said on the Rich Eisen podcast. DJ is pretty connected. 

DJ had us taking Simmons last year in his final mock. 

Simmons wasn’t in the final discussion at 7 last year. It was Brown or trade back and Simmons wasn’t a trade back target either

It can definitely help the defense, I'm actually high on getting a solid secondary, especially when you have someone like Burns that will get to the QB given enough time.

If there's no QB though, yeah LT is very difficult to find and might as well take one, even though I think it would just be hand holding Darnold to mediocrity.

Here's a guy

Would be bummed if they don't draft more than one OL

[Mr. Scot]

Would still prefer a tackle like Sewell or Slater, but I do grant that corner is a need.

@Verge So from your vantage point, is our board something like this?:

1. Penei Sewell

2. Patrick Surtain Jr.

3. Trey Lance

4. Justin Fields

*This assumes Lawrence, Wilson, Jones, Chase, Pitts are off the board. And we still appear pretty quiet about Slater.  Panthers.com did a thing on him one time but I've seen little connecting us.

Nice--I have not been considering him seriously.
