Growing Sense that we take Mykel/Shemar, No matter who's available

I don’t want to be a downer but when we were like 1 loss away from jumping to the top pick, the draft was looking fun and maybe getting us some picks in a trade down. If we take a safety at 8, ugh, what a punch to the gut that’ll be.

S or TE at 8 is not the way to go--but if we move back, I would take a safety around 20.  I see edge or WR at 8---but I look at the draft--where the talent is and based on our needs--I would do this, even though nobody asked.  In the first round, I would take the WR (we need 2 if nothing changes) and I think Golden will be in the top 10 range then--that is who I would take, knowing what I know now. TMac is in play as well.

  In the second round, I think I would wait with a list of possible edge rushers--Princely, Sawyer, etc. and possibly move up 5-10 spots in the second to get the edge we like  I think we probably like "dawg" Jack Sawyer.

In the third, I would look at Safety.  If we can end day 2 with a WR, edge, and S, I would be happy.

It just seems to me that the key to winning in balance your picks and cap space across you team.  With the exception qb, you don't need to have top 5 player at every position.  

We don't really need to spend a first on WR.  If we do, great and I hope it works out, but we need to pick up someone who has good hands and get downfield.

If they were taking Tyler Warren, they would have already told him.  I don't think there's any chance of it happening.

I know people would like to see it, but I haven't seen the twinkle in Dan or Dave's eyes when they've been asked about him.  Dan has really been showing a giddy energy when talking about the secondary and big guys up front.  

Which points to these two and Will Johnson.  With Jalon Walker hopefully a target as well.  Not a lot of Barron buzz.  

I'm also not buying any team thinks the safeties are worth a top-15 pick and we just seem to have no buzz around Tet or Warren.

Funchess ran a 4.5 at his pro day after running a 4.7 at the combine.

A 4.48 is probably a 4.6x at the combine.  If he could actually run a combine 4.48, there is no way he would have skipped it.

On the radio they are saying scouts clocked him between 4.55 and 4.59

That’s what I thought it was high 4.5 speed. Doesn’t matter though, pad speed matters and I don’t think he has it. I still expect at least the first two picks to be defensive players. Walker if he’s there, if not then Williams makes sense.

I mean speed isn't everything, but it's something the Panthers need at WR

my wish right now is 

1- carter

2- hunter

(not happening)

3- graham 

(probably not happening)

4- Tet 

5- trade down

6- Walker IF we view him as an edge

7- Jihad Campbell 

Then 8-11 is some mix of Stewart, Mykel, Mike Green and Donovan E

 

I'm kinda with you though OP i'm starting to feel like we are content with either of those guys at 8 and Dan doesn't really care how the board falls before
