Take the risk on Wilson. A third isn't a risk to begin with. If he's that good use the second 2. He's  mid second rd on Big Boards. He will be long gone if we aren't aggressive

I get not a lot of people watch ACC ball but it’s Payton Wilson for me and I’m a UNC guy.

Wilson arguably had the best season of any linebacker in FBS football last year and he does everything well. He can get after the QB, stop the run, he’s great in coverage, his angles are excellent, etc… All of his question marks (i.e. injury history, strength, and age) have nothing to do with his actual play.

Just watch his tape against UNC, he absolutely dominated.

His competitive nature is exactly what the Panthers need.

I’d take the risk that his injury history is behind him and that with some NFL weight lifting, he’ll get a little stronger.

I get sean lee vibes, ILB for the cowboys. 2nd rounder, long career --- but didn't play many complete seasons. Buy when healthy a top 5 lb.

We do need ILB, CB, WR as our top 3 needs in my opinion.

How often we forget the TE position. Having a really good TE opens up everything. IMO it's actually a higher priority then ILB.

Re: LBs… I hope NFL draft rooms sleep on James Williams from Miami like mock drafts I’ve seen. Get this guy in the 3rd/4th and put him in Luvu’s role. I don’t know what kind of person he is, but on the field he’s a bully.

Nah this offense has been garbage for years now. Jewell is good enough inside with Shaq. 

Panthers have to stop out thinking themselves. Historically good and deep WR/OL draft means 1st round talent will fall to the second. 

And I like Edgerrin. I really like Edgerrin.

Unlikely but when it’s time to pick I wish BPA would correlate with a team need. But when it come to LB if Jr. Colson or Payton Wilson falls into 3rd round I’d strongly consider making one of them for that pick.

I have read his scouting report and he is athletic and gifted but I prefer Payton Wilson or Jeremiah Trotter Jr. If Wilson didn't have injury history, lots of people say he is a first round talent as a MLB, that says a lot.

This dude is going to whiff on so many tackles in the NFL. Takes like 10 seconds to drag the QB down on every sack, and in the open field relies on thumping and never wraps up.

You can forget Wilson dropping to the 3rd round.  No way, a player falls to the 3rd round when he scooped up the Butkus and Bednarik awards.  

If we are desperate for a WR at 33 the best, we can hope for is Wilson falls to 39.

I'd take Wilson at 33 and WR at 39. 

I also think a plus with Wilson is he's been in Luke's back pocket for several years and they communicate often. (Or so I heard)

Cooper is more Luvu (motor, blitz ability)

Wilson is more Kuechly (tackling machine, instincts)

Immediate impact players. And Wilson is not getting out the top 40 unless his medical is worse than expected. 

Cooper with his closing speed could be a nightmare in our scheme lined up with Clowney, Wonnum and Shaq. We could manufacture more pressure.  

And pairing Wilson and Jewell would be actually insane from the instincts standpoint. No more 30 yard run gashes. 

This draft is so deep we "could" walk out with 3 starting caliber players before our first pick in the fourth imo. 

And I'll say this, if we drafted Wilson or Cooper and ended up signing Gilmore...Our defense "should" be improved from last year. Cooper is the Day 1 playmaker while Wilson is the diagnose, play recognize and attack player. Both are plug and play ...for this team.

The big question on Cooper is where were the sack totals before this year? Could his production simply be because he’s more experienced? He only had 0.5 sacks in his entire college career going into his senior season.

Wilson on the other hand has been truly dominant since his sophomore year.

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By MHS831 · Posted

      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.

      Mustard BBQ sauce only. Bessingers or Melvin's BBQ sauce.  However Bessingers is the best in the world, Melvin is 2nd.    I found this article    In fact, the New York Times Magazine described the sauce as “terrifically balancing the tangs of mustard and vinegar with a wood fire's charry flavor.” While helping his dad, Joseph “Big Joe” Bessinger, as a teenager in the kitchen of the family's first restaurants, Thomas learned the secret recipe for the gold sauce – ... https://www.bessingersbbq.com › t...
