Of These 4 Draft Prospects Who Is Your Favorite?

[panther4life]

Coples

Gilmore

Floyd

Cox

I chose those 4 because we had them all in for visits, and it seems these are the most realistic players to possibly be available at 9 and should be able to come in and start right away.

Just curious to hear some opinions on these 4 and if you feel there's other possibilities other than Clairborne or Blackmon magically falling to

us feel free chime in with their names and your opinion in them vs those I listed above.

I think it all depends on if Carolina can trade back or not. If they can't, wouldn't surprise me if they made a move to trade up w their second pick to late first or early second.

I think they are going to make a splash this year in the draft. I predict Cox then trade up and grab Wright.

I would take Cox with #9. Coples would be appropriate at that slot but I think Floyd and Gilmore will go around #12 to #20.

Cox

If those are my only options. Coples.

[tiger7_88]

Of those four, Cox is easily as good as the rest and fills a more critical need.

So Cox.

[Ken]

My favorite? Gilmore. Who I want us to pick? Coples.

[pantherclaw]

Coples.

So Cox.

We need defense help NOW. Cox likely won't be ready for real playing time. Coples has better odds to be impactful right away IMO

coples, mainly because there's a logjam at DT and we've yet to see the true potential of anyone at the position. adding a premier pass rusher across from charles johnson would be huge.

Cox - The surest thing IMO and helps solidify the DL.

Floyd - Past DUI would scare me a bit, but would make the offense elite.

Coples - Most potential and helps on defense right away, but the highest bust potential of the 4.

Gilmore - Could give us the #2 CB we want, but could struggle at times next season while he adjusts.

I want defense, but won't complain if we go Floyd. I'll trust the staff to make the right call.

I disagree. Primarily due to my reliance on the First Rule of Best Conferences Theorem.

Cox was an impact player and had to be double-teamed consistently in the S-E-C, the best college football conference in the land. And there was never any question about his "motor".

While Coples was playing Boston College and Virginia and Ohio State, Cox was playing Bama, LSU, and Florida.

Thus ends your lesson on the First Rule of Best Conference Theorem. ;)

Of those 4 who provides an upside you can't get in the second round?? Coples. Which satisfies our biggest need in my mind Gilmore. If Rivera wants a pass rush then again it is Coples. If Rivera hates McClain then it would be Cox.

what ever happened to kirpatrick, If we trade back, Hes still a good option. mind you he was acquitted.
