Report: Panthers To Take Blackmon If He Falls To 9....

[SuperMan]

TO is 6'4

And Nicks is a great possession WR is awesome hands. Doesnt really have elite / break away speed.

TO is 6'3 can you get post without lying?

[Dash Global]

Offense isnt out problem.

This is an insanly deep WR class.

Blackmon isnt an elite talent.

Conventional wisdom says to draft defense first then WR later.

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

Don't think people thought Fitz would be Fitz....

Can never say a player can't be X.....too many greats weren't projected to be greats.

Uhh...I do recall as a draft nerd that Fitz was a no brainer route running, jumpball guy who was strong and made circus catches...he was considered a great one to get in the draft. Of the three mentioned Andre Johnson was more the he has elite tools and could be elite.. But Calvin and Fitz were no brainers. Blackmon is not better than Julio Jones or AJ Green..

but best case I do see a TO like after the catch performer and he does play bigger than his measurables...Im not knocking his skill set. floyd has the better "he has the tools" but has wayy more risk. but so did Crabtree and yes ...same school and offense do skew some perspective as I think Blackmon is less diva and a better rte runner than Crabtree.

If it was Julio Jones or AJ green id say go for it...without rookie season knowledge.

-since Blackmon is not a given star at his position, my instincts say its not worth bypassing a potential impact defensive guy which is a need.

2011: offense 5th. Defense: just awful..28th..but lost 6+ games...and could not get off the field in second halves ..I know most saw this.

The AJ Green Andre Johnson Larry Fitzgerald and Calvin Johnson types are top 5 choices.

I don't think you can pass Blackmon up if we aren't trading down. The value would be very good the we couldn't pass him up regardless if it's as big a need as CB/DL or not.

Why don't you relax its not likely he will be around at 9 anyway.

opinions are in bold.

Defense bigger problem than offense. FACT. Check the rankings

Deep WR class. FACT only an uninformed idiot would try to argue different.

Blackmon isnt elite. FACT. put the pipe down if you would try to say he is on Calvin, Andres, Fitz, Moss, Green level.

I guess the last statement could be opinion...

[CRA]

fitz was drafted 3rd overall... not exactly a sleeper.

Not a sleeper....best WR in his class. Not sure everyone had the Pitt WR inked in as a NFL great though

There were knocks on Megatron coming out....great physical specimen but couldn't make a play against the likes of Clemson?

Hindsight makes some comparison not really fair....

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

Message boards are for opinions right?

Draft debate is fun and this whole conversation is the the birthing of all fantasy sports...to prove I know more about players i have no control over with money and a stastical measure.

Although I love Hakeem Nicks this would be a luxury pick...if by chance a Kalil who is elite..that is who you cannot pass up.

I don't think anyone here said he was on there level maybe you would like to show me where we did?

He isn't worth a top 5 pick like the guys you mentioned but he is easily worth a pick from 8-14.

[PantherBrew]

Fact: Justin Blackmon is 6'1" and T.O. is 6'3".

Opinion: Justin Blackmon is not as talented as T.O.

Understand the difference?

I think the people saying no to Blackmon underestimate how deadly of a weapon he could be with Smitty on the other side of the field and Olsen splitting the middle. This is an extremely deep draft at A LOT of positions, not just WR. We can easily get a good player on the defensive front or CB at #40. If Blackmon is there you take him and Cam thanks you for it.....
