Watch we trade our 1st for Jabbar Gaffney!

[bleys]

sounds like no DT in the 1st...

[XClown1986]

So basically:

-We will get offensive line help at some point

-We will take a playmaker at wide receiver if they fall

-Either pass rush or coverage will be made better, based on value of the player at the pick

-We won't be trading away next years first or find a way to trade up in round 1.

-We want to trade down for more picks to get more players from this "deep" class

Sounds good to me. I'm excited to see how the draft goes. Seems like a change in philosophy a bit. Hurney doesn't seem to be the risky gambler anymore, but more the calculated gambler. Finally learning from being burned on guys with potential instead of value.

it's amazing how you seem to people when your coach isn't desperately fighting to save his job...

Matthias?

Ron Rivera is fun to listen to. Blunt, interesting, funny, and truthful.

[Catalyst]

Anyone else get the feeling we're taking David DeCastro after watching this?

[cookinbrak]

I'm thinking of guys a little later in the first round like Stephen Hill, Alshon Jeffery, or Kendall Wright. I mean if Blackmon somehow fell to #9 we would be all over it, but I actually like some of the guys that will go in the latter part of round 1 and early round 2 even more than FLoyd or Blackmon.

Besides, KT will tell you that Charlotte would never support a Blackmon :lol:

If Blackmon fell to 9, we could make a damn fine trade back.

[Catalyst]

If Blackmon falls we'd be crazy not to take him. Future elite playmaker at WR. Could be deadly in this offense.
