NFL Combine

We are better off getting Hakeem Nicks with our 2nd round then any CB/DT that are still on the board.

Mel Kiper has Nicks as the second rated receiver at the moment. I doubt he'll last to pick 59...

If pep could pull it I would rather get an additional 2 and 3 in this draft.

Funny, Mel Kiper is on ESPN as of 4:16 PM today saying that Nicks is the 4th best receiver in this years draft....

Not trying to be a dick, but I was reading your comment as Mel Kiper was on NFL Live talking about the receivers.

See, that's why you never know what to think. Kiper was on ESPN radio, (Tirico and Van Pelt) at 2:30 today and the only receivers he brought up were the kid from Maryland and Nicks listing 1, 2 respectively. I did see the 4:16 broadcast as well and went WTF?...

Edit: Of course that doesn't have Crabtree in it, so it's BS...

I like the Orakpo kid from Texas but he's got Vernon Gholston written all over him IMO.

Really? Have you seen Orakpo taking plays off?

[Biggs934]

Everytime I have seen Kiper talking about the Panthers, he is talking about us taking Connor Barwin, DE from Cinn. or Robert Ayers, DE from Tenn. with the 2nd round pick.

And I saw a mock today that had us taking

2nd Connor Barwin DE Cinn.

3rd Asher Allen CB Georgia

4th Dorell Scott DT Clemson

Wide receiver is a VERY low priority. He hardly ever run 3 or 4 WR sets, so one good receiver and a decent #2 is all we really need.

[monstercat]

The only way I'd take a WR, is if they get a high draft pick in a Peppers trade and have a shot at Crabtree. That guy is gonna be a superstar...no question about it.

and Dan Connor was the #1 rated Linebacker last year. Your point?

Uh, I'm pretty sure the kid from Tennessee (can't remember his name ATM) was rated higher by everybody.

Point was rather obvious and an opinion, not a fact...

he was ranked highly by all the talking heads. He fell to the 3rd and we grabbed him. Just sayin' it could happen.

[TerriblePizza]

If we can get good value for that Jarron Gilbert kid, I say we take him. He's kind of small for a DT, but he's athletic. Maybe he can put on another 10 or 15 without losing too much.

[manwithcake]

Michael Johnson will be decent, but not worth a first round pick. He got owned by any decent and even semi-decent tackle because like Pep, he relies on his athleticism and his technique sucks big time. I honestly don't think he has the motivation to work on it either. I'd rather have Barwin or Kruger.
