I said that Blackmon while being a good Wr wasn't a elite talent like AJ green and Julio Jones.

Now here is a video of NFLN talking about the same thing. The wr that Blackmon is comp. to were taking later in the 1st round. Him and Floyd are just lucky to come out in a year where there is no elite talent (with production in college) coming out this year but a lot of team in the top 15 need WR.

Oh, now you want to summon the voices of the talking heads...?

I don't believe anyone has ever said that the guy was on the level of a AJ Green [Go Dawgs!] or Julio Jones...not that anyone knows. But he is solid at his position and will probably only help the team that drafts him. It's like someone told you before, the problem is that there is really no so-called "elite" talent at any of the positions that we need (IMHO). But, why are you still talking about this? We won't get a chance to draft Blackmon because he'll be off the boards.

I hope that Hurney and company take an open-minded, wait-and-see approach to the draft. If the opportunity presents itself to trade down, that my be the best play, but if we draft at number nine, then I hope that we draft the BPA. If the FO deems that that is Blackmon, then so be it.

It has become a popular thing now to question Blackmon, almost to the point that he is getting underrated. I said last year before the draft that Blackmon would go in between Green and Jones. That was just my opinion last year and Blackmon didn't do anything this past season that changed my mind.

I will agree that AJ Green is a separate league than Blackmon and Jones. I just happen to like Blackmon better. But that's just my opinion from what I have watched.

Stop being mad because the talking heads agree with me. We debated all night and I was just wating for them to compare draft Class wr.

Like I said Blackmon is in the range of Nicks and Bowie again that's not bad he is still a 1st round talent. But not top 10 you got to have talent that changes your team. He would be a luxury pick for us and right now we can't afford to make luxury picks.

The only reason he and Floyd are getting Mock so high because there are a couple teams in the top 15 picks that have a desperate need for a wr.

He's right up there with the two guys from last season. People who only pay attention to what the current wave of draft media get easily swayed since very few fans actually watch these guys play.

Blackmon was dominant the past two years...pretty much doubling Green's production

He can play

Guess what? No one knows who is going to be an elite talent. These are just guesses. Most times they are right, a good deal of times they are wrong. Saying a player isn't elite because he isn't just like player A or player B means nothing. Alshon Jeffrey may turn out just as good as AJ Green, however we won't know that till the lights are up and the playing starts. It also has to do with the system that is being run, the situation in place, and the individual player. Saying the top 15 is shortsighted at best.

Nicks and Bowe are great wrs.

If Blackmon is being compared to them, then he could be better than Julio.

No one ever said he was better than Green.

And of course that's how the drafts are every year. Teams drafting in the top are taking who they need, not who they want. Nicks and Bowe dropped because teams needed other positions. If you go back and do a redo draft, I'm positive that both Nicks and Bowe are going much higher than where they were taken.

And bump to this 10000000x.

Couldn't said it any better. This post ends here.

Not much of a debate.

Both were drafted in the 20's still 1st round talent but not team changing talent.

      Fix Your Franchise: Carolina Panthers

      By fanpanther · Posted

      100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.

      Another renovation to BoA?

      By dave-o · Posted

      It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.
