Fox: Panthers not a lock to make a move at DT or RG...and more

It is funny to see the back and forth after we had a multipage thread on smokescreens and that you can't believe what Fox or Hurney says. Now Fox comes out 4 weeks before the draft and says a bunch of stuff and people take it as gospel. How do we know that this isn't part of the smokescreen?

Since we almost always take BPA, how do we know if there is a DT that drops we won't pick them up. Who predicted we would take Corvey Irvin last year. Feel free to go back and forth but at this point you can't believe anything they say.

I personally hope we take a WR with our second pick and again with our fourth. But I am surely not taking any bets on anything at this point.

if we draft Jacoby Ford in the 2nd I won't be a happy camper. 3rd is cool.

yep, without all that speed he got Dwayne Jarrett type seperation on a lot of routes in college. Ford has special teams potential(but looked much inferior to Spiller in that department).....and is definately project WR imo. Year 3 he might make an impact. Ask most Clemson fans and they will tell you he is a fast WR.....not really a very good WR.

What up Phillyb and Ncbobcat so i see you are still canoeing down the river D'Nile. Defensive End is way more likely than a DT. I guess you two will continue to insist that it is all smokescreen until reality smacks you between the eyes.

Really? And your basing this on something JOHN FOX said a month before the draft. You might not be on the Nile but...... your in never-never land.

He is a good WR. The only thing he needs work on is his route-running.

that is exactly what he was in college a good WR. Not a great one.

His speed is decieving. He doesn't have great football speed. He has great vertical, straight away speed. I love Ford. I wanted Carolina to draft him. However, his stock rose too much and now people want to look at his 40 time and a select few highlights and pretend he is something he never was. Ford simply won't be an impact WR his first few years. I mean, Jarrett could get good seperation in college....Ford hadn't even figured that part out. And we all know how much Jarrett has struggled figuring out the NFL.....but I guess that is normal.

but this isn't that far fetched no? i mean really. i don't think we actually NEED to draft a DT high.

I would bet money the panthers will draft a defensive lineman right after a WR (3rd).

Fox is full of crap but whoever guesses closest to who gets chosen when, will get the most value in their players at least to some degree, I would imagine its not too smart to yap about the positions your looking into. A WR, well thats just a given.
