I'm Starting To Think Fletcher Cox Won't Be There At 9...

[CardiacCats]

Lets say this happens

1 Luck

2 RG3

3 Kalil

4 T rich

5 Mo Clay

6 Blackmon (possibly Cox)

7 trade PHI - Cox

8 Tannehill

wtf do we do? I guess the options are:

Coples (most likely)

Melvin Ingram

Michael Floyd

Luke Kuechly

Michael Brockers

Stephon Gilmore

thats the order of the players I would want.

There is no guarantee we would take him if he were there. If we plan on trading down as Hurney wants, the more guys who are impact players at 9, the better off we are,

you guessed right.........some things are just out of our control.

as coach RR said....................we just have to be ready and react to what happens in front of us.

[CarolinaNCSU]

If he's not, and there is a decent chance he won't be...we either trade down or take Coples, Kuechly, Floyd, Gilmore, etc. Really not that big of a drop off IMO, as there are 5-6 guys who would greatly improve the team.

I think the Panthers front office realized quite early in the process that we need more pics if we are to fill our major needs.

Say we take DT Cox and LB Lavonte David with our 1st 2 pics. With no 3rd we would still need a starting caliber CB, DE, and O-line depth.

Unless Claiborne or Blackmon fall to us, I think theere's a 60-70% chance we trade out.

[TruCatzFan]

I'm not concerned at all! We'll be getting one of the top 10 collegiate football players in the country at the 9 spot, or we'll trade back for more picks.

Quit stressing this and before you know it we'll be on the clock.

#1 rule to live by during draft week:

Hear everything and believe nothing!

IF...there is someone willing to trade up! And IF there IS a can't miss player there at #9 how can we not draft them???

What position would Cox play for the Panthers? He seems thin for the middle of an NFL line that people talk about "beefing up". Most of that 298 must be in his shoulders.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

I've been thinking about this and I think if Cox is gone I'd be fine with Ingram as long as we could find a creative way to utilize him the same way Denver has done with Von Miller

you put gilmore too high on your list

[TylerVagyler]

I think the Rams talk about Cox is a smokescreen, trying to get teams to trade with them which would get them even more picks.

[Snake]

Dont believe pre draft hype, Cox is going to be there cause Jax is in real need of Oline help and there not getting it trading down as far as philly. Now STL taking Cox could happen but I doubt it cause offense is a big problem for them.
