Traded a shot at Da'Quan Bowers for Armanti Edwards.....OUCH

[Cyclonus]

I know, I know......the Panthers had no way of knowing. But now that it has all played out. It stings just a little bit. Armanti might still be a player (giggle), but imagine getting Cam in round one and Bowers in round two. That would have been sick! :yikes:

why do you have to pour salt on the wound though:(

[carpanfan96]

His knee is really, really bad off. It's most likely degenerativefor one, second thing is most teams are passing on him for a reason... he must need the micro surgery on his knee....which is a real bummer for him.

If both of those are correct, which I assume is. (Other wise I can't explain a top 5 talent falling into at least the second round.) If that is indeed the case, I don't know that he's worth an early look in the second round and I'm getting the feeling he'll fall even further... More likely to the end of the second round.

I would rather have Marvin Austin personally.

I wouldn't want Bowers; his knee is obviously shot or every team in the league short of the Raiders wouldn't have passed on him while 12 other DL went in the 1st round.

I would like to be in position to draft Brandon Harris, though :(

[Awesomeness!!]

I like CJ better anyway. IT sucks though, because there is a ton of talent left..

I would rather have Marvin Austin personally.

This I hope we trade up for him

[AceMan]

The AE trade will haunt us forever!

I must be the only one who thinks CB is a better bet in the 2nd than DT. I actually like our options in the 3rd at DT. Not so sure about the CB's. Man, if we DO trade up and end up with Brandon Harris I'm going to freak the fug out. Think he has Revis potential.

[Jackofalltrades]

Yeah, I hate we missed out on an overhyped one year wonder at a position we don't need with chronic, degenerative knee issues.

[JawnyBlaze]

SCP, I do agree with your point that a DT we could get in the 3rd would be better than a CB we could get in the 3rd, but speaking for myself I'd much rather have Austin or Paea than Harris for a few reasons, not the least of which is that DT is a much bigger need for us than CB. We need CB depth (at worst a #2 starter if Marshall leaves). We need a #1 starter at DT assuming Landri would make a really good #2 for us, in addition to depth beyond the starters.

[Stroupe-a-loop]

That knee is done. It sucks for the guy, but I don't see anybody in a hurry to draft him today either.

[JawnyBlaze]

I wouldn't want Bowers; his knee is obviously shot or every team in the league short of the Raiders wouldn't have passed on him while 12 other DL went in the 1st round.

Agreed. I think the most telling fact is that the Bucs passed on him for Adrian Clayborn. I mean Clayborn is pretty good but the Bucs need SACKS and Clayborn isn't going to be getting them. He did pretty good two years ago, but dropped off significantly this year. He's the Jake Locker of DEs, and he's not even built well for the position in a 4-3. He'll be a good solid Tyler Brayton type player, but not an elite pass rushing DE.

if he falls to the 4th I'd take him
