Rivera Looking For Immediate Impact

[Pantherman]

It will be Coples

I'm thinking that aswell. I want Coples for some reason. I think he could be the next Mike Rucker or Peppers for the DE postion. Hardy will be going back to his backup postion this season. Unless Blackmon or Claiborne is at 9th pick when it is our turn or Hurney trades down for more picks.

Cosell said Cox was on Dareius' talent level and a better athlete. If that's the case he could deff. start day one!

if that's true, Cox will be the pick if he's there at 9...

[EMSMedic79]

Yeah, Coples or Cox...based on that.

[Kuech the Sneak]

if that's true, Cox will be the pick if he's there at 9...

It all depends on who Rivera and hurney think can start, if it's cox then he'll be the pick, they may also think coples can start. I don't know which position they'd rather lean towards

:wacko: I guess the games I've watched him play on youtube are not a good example of his amazing talent.

Seems like every freak of nature DE that comes into the league always gets a bad rep for having low motor. Peppers had low motor issues too according to every Panther fan here. That's why he was a perrenial Pro Bowler and had sacks galore and got that fat contract, right? :rolleyes:

If the only issue is so-called motor issues, please for god's sake take Coples. Though tbh I would be happy with Fletcher as well. Yes, I used his first name to avoid using his last name on purpose.

[pantherj]

I just saw a Panther fan on youtube compare Cox to Kris Jenkins... I threw up a little.

I have been saying that for a while. Hope we get a chance to draft him.

[Ivan The Awesome]

Oh no guys, it's going to be Poe...because he's fast.

Did you guys watch the ENTIRE conference? How can you listen to all that about protecting Cam, giving him weapons and protecting him, making the strength stronger, etc. and automatically assume that the ready-to-play football player is not DeCastro?

Or Floyd?

They talked for several minutes how they were getting players on D back from IR. They signed 2 DEs in free agency and Keiser turned heads late in the season. RR even explained that CJ had a back injury, etc.

If you want to talk Cox, go ahead, but RR addressed the topic of rookie DTs as well, explaining how they did not expect the Edwards injury etc. We could draft Cox and I hope we do, but RR has Edwards healed, 3 second year players he will not give up on, Shirley and Neblett, each of whom had 2.5 sacks last year in limited duty.

I am not sure you heard what I heard, but I think we will address D, but at CB and LB first. Remember, Marty drafts safely in round 1, which is why he has never drafted a DT before round 3. After Peppers, he has never drafted a DE before round 3. Marty drafts safely.

I do not think we should draft a G either, but I did not watch that news conference and come away with Coples or Cox. Far from it.
