Regarding Jones...

Why Taiwan Jones?

Now don't get me wrong, I really like Jones, I even read an article a week ago about him not doing anything to steer teams away from him at the combine.

However....

If we are truly moving on from DeAngelo Williams, wouldn't we be going after a speed back like Williams (by speed I mean continuous speed) who just breezes past everyone? Jones is not like CJ, he is like J-Stew, if you watch the video closely you see Jones slowing down after about thirty yards into a run, you also see Jones breaking tackles like it's no bodies business which reminds me of a carbon copy of Stewart. Could it actually be that the coaches are preparing for a three-headed monster? I know many individuals thought the Panthers were going to move on from Williams or Stewart after Goodson was drafted. That turned out not to be the case and it might not be the case this time. It popped into my head that the Coach Rivera, Coach Chudzinski, and Coach Settle sat down and watched tape from each running back last year and did not like the fact that we carried four running backs and that after Stewart and Williams that the depth was useless. Lets face it Goodson will never be able to carry the load full time because he can't handle the ball. I like Sutton, but there is just not enough roster spots to keep four runningbacks. I think the coaches may go with Jones as a third down running back and let Goodson and Sutton walk to free up roster spots for other teams. In all reality if Taiwan Jones is drafted I see a three-headed monster in the future of... DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart, and Taiwan Jones.

Regarding Wright...

If someone was ever going to yell smokescreen, I wish it was now. Wright is garbage and will always be garbage. Personally I think the Panthers should just stay clear of anyone with USC. However, I just think Wright is dirty (his hit on Locker was garbage) and he is unmotivated (Only had one interception in his four-year career). Also at 5-11 he will get picked on too much. We already have Captain who is under six foot we don't need another small cornerback especially a cornerback that they might want to start. If we are going to get a cornerback in one of the early rounds we need to be very confident in the player. I personally like Aaron Williams and Davon House. Aaron Williams would have to fall significantly as he is expected to go in the second round. However, if he falls to the third, he should be the first pick of the third round. He is a decent sized cornerback at 6 foot and he allowed only 38.7 yards per game. If Williams is gone, we have to go with Davon House. House is also decentley sized at 6-0 foot and he allowed only 45.5 yards per game (House had 202 tackles and 11 intercpetions in his college career).

Side note: Shareece Wright allowed 82.8 yards per game.

If the Panthers are able to get Cam Newton, a DT, Aaron Williams/Davon House, and Taiwan Jones (along with keeping D-Will) with their first four picks then I will absolutely lose it. That would be huge and the Panthers would be big winners in the draft.
