Lombardi says Claiborne will be a Panther

[PhillyB]

Damn our secondary would be pretty damn stacked if Claiborne fell. Still doesn't fix our DT woes though.

the cornerback position would be great, but that's about it. safety is still enough of a concern to avoid labeling our secondary world beaters until we sign someone.

[Snake]

What a screwed up mock. Melvin Ingram going to the Rams at 6th overall? Poe to the Bucs? Those two picks mess the whole mock up. Ingram I can see going before our pick, but the Bucs taking Poe when they just spent a 1st and 2nd round pick on DT's the year before last?

The bucs need a massive DT but they will go RB. CB they will pick up in FA.

[Ruff]

I could definitely see the Bucs picking up Cortland Finnegan in FA, and then getting Trent Richardson in the draft, most definitely.

[raleigh-panther]

The good news for the Panthers is the defensive talent sucks so badly that they can pick almost anyone on that side of the ball and help themselves.

There's more than 1 round in the draft. CB is just as big a need.

[Kyle82]

Wow....should be a very interesting draft this year :rofl:

[pantherclaw]

Don't see him falling to us at 9, but stranger things have happened, and who wouldn't want Claiborne?

other than the shitty safeties

I think he forgot Tampa needs two cbs

[rayzor]

he won't make it past the rams or bucs.

word is part of the thinking the rams had in deciding who to trade with was who they could get the most from and still have a shot at claiborne.

just one. ronde isn't retiring.

well....he does need replacing but i'm thinking they feel they got one CB spot covered.

i'd be surprised if they passed claiborne because they still had barber, though.

Dam....I thought Rondi was heading torwards a retirement home

I thought the Rams wanted Blackmon

nope. they got something worked out yesterday.

I thought the Rams wanted Blackmon

you'd think that was the case but stuff that i heard from a couple people at the combine said that claiborne was just about as high on their list as kalil and that their ability to draft him was going to factor into the decision.

i just don't know that the bucs are going to let him get by them.

richardson is really going to be tempting for them, though. esp. with schiano as HC.
