Yea its a BR Mock dammit!

Taking Kuechly last year make no sense also when we had pressing needs at DT, CB, etc.

Sure, I'd be stupid to say for us to take Jarvis in the top5, but at 14 anyone would be stupid to pass him up.

Luke made plenty of sense....LB play was HORRIBLE in 2011.

Our LBs heading into 2012 consisted of 3 ACL tear (IR) Davis and an IR'd Beason with a major injury one whose comeback to full form was very doubtful. LB WAS a NEED.

Considering our team and what move would have the maximum effectiveness, I'd take Banks, Rhodes, & Patterson over Jarvis. Now if John Jenkins fell at DT/NT, I'd take him in a heart beat but this Bulldog at OLB? We have one in TD already. This isn't an Anderson replacement. Rest of the draft is good though.

I'm not sure I'd take Banks, Rhodes or Patterson over Jarvis. Maybe Banks if I really has to and Gamble is cut. Patterson is a HOTT name and a lot of fans are going to be riding his wagon. The kid has huge ceiling, but when youre taking him you are getting a raw receiver to work with. It's a 50/50 boom or bust pick. Is the reward higher than the risk?

Taking Jones, you know exactly what you're getting. Getting an extremely talented passes rusher who can lineup up anywhere. And it's also a "safe pick", unless otherwise something about hus neck is concerning.

TD is not the same type of OLB Jarvis is. Jarvis has way much more potential to be a better player than TD will ever be. Jarvis isn't your tackling machine OLB like TD. He's your modern day hybrid that can create pressure constantly and rack up double digit sacks. Id trade both Anderson/TD for Jarvis in a heart beat.

LB is still a need. Fans are only ignoring it bc we had four lbs who if healthy are very good. And, also bc we just took a lb last year that people doesn't want to see a consecutive year of taking another lb.

Anderson is very very average. Rack up a lot of tackles but after a lot of gain in yardage already. Few TFL and not a short yardage stop guy.

Beason last season going into the season was healthier than he is right now. We all should be concerning about Beason.

TD is still the same guy who had three previous ACL tears who is also aging. No Panthers fan can tell me they go into every Sundays not holding their breath every time TD is on the field trying to make a play.

The only Lb who is safe is Kuechky.

Lb is a "NEED" that fans are ignoring. Plain and simple.

Not much of a need....

You have a BEAST in Luke who is only going to get better at MLB, a solid SS, and 2 vets in Davis and Beason to rotate at WLB bc we likely are stuck with Beason for a year.

Where is the need? Beason and TD can share WLB. Neither is going to be needed to be counted on as an every down LB. Those 2 can handle the WLB spot.....much bigger needs than finding someone to replace to vets sharing a job

Not a need ATM but can surely become a need by week3-5. No one knows the Heath issue with Beason. He has shown he isnt a very good OLB in the pro. TD is forcing me to hold my breath every play. Anderson is the most likely to come back and play a full 16. He's our worst lb out of the four.

[carolina-chuck]

Like I said in another thread, fans better hope Jarvis isn't on the board at no.14 or else he'll be wearing some Panthers Black/White/Blue on Sundays.

I can guarantee Gettleman and Chico would be damn happy to see Jarvis at 14 and wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger on the talented pass rusher.

Depth at LB would be great, but its not as pressing as OL, DT, WR, CB.

I agree.

I'm just saying if Jarvis falls to 14, the Draft plan is going to dramatically change. A player of that caliber falling to your lap, $hit forget about the needs.

It's like you don't pass up on Peyton if he fell to your lap for a Charles Johnson bc you have need at DE.

Jarvin Jones won't even be available then, so this is a moot topic discussion.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Still haven't seen it mentioned, but for some reason Jarvis Jones is there; someone will offer the Panthers a pretty good package for him. Once you get to the mid-teens, trades start to fall into place because of players falling.

Never know. A lot of scouts are atm worried about him and some questions concerning his neck.

If you told me you're a fortune teller, I may try to believe you. Not now though. Clausen was supposed to be a 1st rd in everyone's mind.

Agree. Though it'll have to be an amazing offer. Can't be stupid to think Gettleman wouldn't take Jarvis at 14.

We have depth at lb but none of those guys are Gettleman's guys. A lot of them could become cap casualties for Dave

Taking BPA leads to getting FOOTBALL PLAYERS (Cam/Kuechly).

Taking needs lead to players to fill position(s).

What if Manti Teo is the BPA on our draft board?

[carolina-chuck]

What if Manti Teo is the BPA on our draft board?

He's not even a top25 player after the Bowl game. Especially after the internet hoax. If hes lucky, Baltimore will pick him up at 32. If not he magiap as late as UDFA. And we don't need a MLB. If we were a 34 D, sure maybe if we're not sure about Beason.

Minter LSU is ahead of Manti atm

Unless Jarvis lied about his GF dying, he's a top5 player.
