Panthers Apparently "love" Luke Kuechly

[MadHatter]

Ah yes the "but he's safe!" argument. Trademark of sissy franchises.

More like BPA argument. Trademark of successful franchises. Teams that reach for players due to perceived needs have proven to not be as successful.

Somebody sure loves "cox"!

BPA is Cox.

Oops double post!?

Edwards is 32 year old 2 down DT.

We signed a guy already who will push or take martin's job.

Cb is deep in this draft we can get a starter in the 2nd round.

Cox offers rotation at every spot on the Dline.

Cox should be the pick.

Problem for Cox is that we have plenty of DTs and 2 starting DEs. As for linebackers we have 1 starter and 2 huge question marks. The only reason for not taking Kuechly would be that linebackers are not as expensive to find in free agency as DEs and CBs. So most teams look for those guys in the draft. Still the lack of action in free agency suggests we are looking for LBs in the draft somewhere.

Should we draft another LB in the first round after doing it twice in the past 7 drafts, again if Beason and Davis were 100%, we wouldn't be having this conversation. But they aren't and here we are.

God this is such a narrow minded view point.

BPA is Cox.

Debatable. Either would be nice additions, and I would not be diisappointed if Cox were the pick. I am just acknowledging that Kuevhlu is a hell of a lb and a real possibility with the injuries that Beason and Davis are trying to come back from.

I trust Rivera when it comes to defensive players. I am fine with whoever he thinks is. BPA and the best pick for the team.

How so Francis?

Lack of action? We"ve signed 2 Lb and tender 2 before FA started. We have plenty of bodies at DT no real impact player at that position. Cox givs you flexability at so many position on the dline.

Yeah your right, Cam definitely wasnt considered a reach of a perceived need by "experts" at the time.....

[Jak3Allen]

I think there is a better argument for Ingram from South Carolina than Cox. Due to the simple fact he can play anywhere on the line at any given time. Only me?? Help!?!?

I still think there are quite a few guys in play for the pick. Picks at DE, DT,LB, or CB could realistically be the pick....and all would upgrade the team.

Gonna be an exciting draft.
