I'm all for taking Warren at 8, but I doubt the team would do it. The Huddle losing their mind would just be the icing on the cake.

I would not be mad--I get it--and Khyber has solid reasons.  He'd definitely take the offense to the next level--my concern?  Who do we have to keep the defensive backs from crowding the LOS?  We need a deep threat--and that does not have to be in the first or the draft.  We need a #1, I just do not see them out there this year--and I don't think Free Agency has them

A properly used TE can be the #1 option. See those Brady led Pats teams from a few years ago as examples 1-3.

IMO it's 

1a Edge

1b DT

2 LB

3 Safety (less important than front seven)

4 CB

5 WR

6 TE 

 

I think you could argue any one of those positions as our first two picks and it would be a reasonable argument

I'm fine with Warren at 8.  The top of this class is razor thin.  Take an impact player and don't think twice about it.

yea that's where I fall on this, lots of teams appartenly only have ~8 first round graded players this year. If one guy is clearly a better talent just take him and worry about positional value later

Eagles also hit home runs drafting DeJean and Mitchell plus have an elite #1 receiver 

This.

The Eagles have drafted better than us and done better than us in free agency.  Although in fairness, they have drafted better than virtually every team in the NFL.

Yep.... They sacked that slippery weaselly Mahomes 6 times. We need defense all the way.

In fairness, we sacked him five times when we played. The difference was that when they didn't sack him, they still played good cover defense, kept him from breaking off major runs, and got some turnovers.  If we are ever going to challenge for a Superbowl, the defense needs to improve across the board.

      NCFan’s pre combine mock

      By ncfan · Posted

      Before I jump to the mock. Panthers kick off FA with a big defensive signing Milton Williams.  The DT from Philly.  I’ve seen Mike Kaye tweet a bunch how we need to keep an eye on him.  Probably speculation.  But Mike used to work in Philly and has some solid sources in BOA.  I think this could be a real thing.       onto the draft   1st: Jalon Walker- shooting yo the boards is the hybrid LB Edge.  After a really good season in his first ever season at Edge.  Dan Morgan falls in love with the Salisbury native.  The Georgia Edge shows up everywhere on film all over the field.  Walker is also said to be with Travis Hunter in a tier to themselves as far as high character prospects.   This Alpha brings day one impact to the team playing a similar role to another former Georgia Edge (Nolan Smith) up in Philly.   2nd: Andrew Mukuba- those a thin frame.  Mukuba is an explosive athlete and good in coverage.  Evero’s system relies a ton on the safeties.  As we even saw at times as he frustrated us with a safety following Ceedee Lamb.   3rd: Jared Wilson- some people will scratching their heads or be mad with the pick.  Even more-so after we resign Cade Mays.  But following the Philly model.  They don’t care.  They draft the trenches no matter what.  Mays fills the role as backup OG and Center.  Wilson comes in after only 1 year of playing Center.  He graded out as the top Center in CFC this past year.  And he is an athletic Freak, with tons of upside.  The limited experience and scouts viewing him as strictly a Center at the next level slides him to rd 3 even after a eye popping combine.   4th:  trade!  Carolina packages 110 and 141 to move back up into rd 3. at pick 80, Carolina takes Jaylin Noel.  Noel, the WR, gets overshowed by his other Iowa St teamste at WR.  But Noel is was one of the top deep threat big Play WRs in the country.  After his senior bowl his stock really climbed.  Built like a tank, but with speed.  The big thing is his start and stop.  The LA Rams value the deceleration metric when they are scouting WRs (Puka, Kupp, etc)   Noel has one of if not the best deceleration ability of any WR in this class.   4th: 113 Jordan Phillips- big strong athletic NT who had a  big week at the Shrine Bowl.  There is a trend, strengthening the iDL this offseason like iOL last offseason. 5th: Devin Neal- we have Chubba.  But this is a multipack league now.  Sanders will be a cap casualty.  Brooks, unfortunately, will more than likely miss this whole season.  Then year 3 into his rookie contract after missing his first 2 NFL seasons.  You can’t count on him to come back and be that impact guy.  Lucky for us,  this is one of the strongest RB draft class’s.
