La Canfora has Claiborne falling to us

First we want Coples, switched to Brockers, switched to Poe, now Claiborne. Who's next....Olympia Dukakis?

Agreed.... for where we are picking at there are too many options. If the Rams are serious about trading the #2 pick, then it looks like Luck, RGIII, Kalil, Richardson go 1-4, and after that it gets kinda murkey. Claiborne, Kalil, Reiff, and Blackmon make the most sense for us, but after their respective pro-days, I don't see any of them dropping to #9. That being said, if Claiborne is there at 9, I think we run, not walk to the podium for that selection.

If it's the one he just did on NFLN, I just don't see Seattle trading up above us for Tannehill. But he is more connected than myself... I just don't think that's gonna happen.

If it does, awesome.

Also, I do NOT see Tampa taking Blackmon over Claiborne. They still have two young WRs that are a year removed from awesome seasons. I think they give them another year, plus, they're adding Manningham in FA. Why would they take Blackmon?

Ronde Barber is 208 years old.

We need a CB, so if Claiborne is there, we take him. If Blackmon drops to us, we trade back and pick up Poe in the teens. JMO.

happy with MC here

Coples will be gone

Brockers looks good too, and Poe is blowing peoples minds with that 40

the safe statement is that there seems to be enough talent in this draft to equate to us getting a good player.

So now the hard part comes. When there are several pieces that will work, the puzzle master must find the one true match out of the handful of options. Good luck Marty.

No way Claiborne falls to us. No way. Walterfootball had the same scenario and they both include some head-scratching moves in the first 8 picks that almost certainly won't happen.

Bucs will take Claiborne. They hired his DB's coach from LSU. Claiborne will be the hands-down BPA at 5th overall. And even if by some miracle the Bucs don't take him, the Jaguars would in a second.

I think it depends on how Hurney and Rivera think Hogan is coming along. If Hogan is the starter than Claiborne isn't as critical. If Hogan isn't a lock then Claiborne is definitely at a position of need especially if Tampa takes Blackmon. It also depends on whether Hurney and Rivera think we are okay at DT/DE this year or really want to solidify that position. He could definitely help us more than Poe would in 2012. Down the road, things even up more.

I don't think Claiborne is there though. But if he were, you have to look hard at him. The thing about Poe is that he brings something to the team we just don't have. A kris Jenkins type tackle who has been sorely missed. Plus I think that Rivera believes that a great pass rush is more important than a great secondary.

Glad I don't have to make those choices.

I agree that I think there is NO WAY that Tampa does not take Claiborne.

Will sign Manningham as a FA....takes WR off the list.

Although Richardson is an absolute stud, it has been shwon that quality backs can be found in later rounds and FA.

They desperately need DB.

    • Canales was brought in to fix Bryce. That was how he sold himself. He failed.  the panthers need a new qb, someone to coach him, and someone to build a defensive staff.  Canales has failed at developing a new qb. His big draft project XL is trending towards bust. His entire nfl resume before the panthers was one season as offensive coordinator on a stacked Bucs team, and being on the offensive staff when a 31 year old Geno smith finally put it all together. And he didn’t even pick his offensive coordinator. Assuming evero is gone, who’s he got in that phone to call? What low lvl porn addict evangelical from the bucs is ready to be Peter principled? There is nothing in his coaching history or his current performance that indicates he’s the person to move this team forward. Every other team knew this last cycle (panthers were only interview) and nothing has happened to change that perception   all people like you have is “well you can’t do it again it’s too soon but <random interval of time> will be different.  just pull off the bandage. There’s no reason to let this guy draft “his guy” except people wanting an excuse not to fire him after 2025. 
    • Both Reich and Canales were saddled with trying to build and establish a viable scoring offense around Bryce Young. The best the offense looked this season and last season was with Andy Dalton who is also terrible but still better than Bryce Young. Which should be all anyone needs to know but still somehow there are weirdos here salivating over a ceiling of maybe on a really good day the 25th best QB in the league. We've already canned one entire staff over our first overall pick. You can fire everyone again to satisfy your need for vengeance and quickly come to the realization that your next hire will absolutely unequivocally be a downgrade yes man or you can blow up this QB room and then assess. If no progress next season then you can make changes and justifiably so.
    • Surprised this is the only post with this take.  This is like the Rhule kiss of death lol.
