Think he reaches a bit for the Panthers, glad he is no longer here

I'm not sure who he meant by his 26th pick to Cleveland

 

He said Ryan Shazier, who is a LB

 

But he put CB, so that could mean Bradley Roby

 

I don't think we draft Moses at 28 even though he may be our first pick

 

I have a feeling someone is going to trade for our first in order to get Jimmy Garoppolo before the second round starts

[uscgamecocks]

If we get Moses I hope it is in the second via a trade.

In that scenario I'd grab Benjamin or Cooks.

I like moses but I think 28 is too high for him

[Jackofalltrades]

I don't see us trading, based on DG's comment last season regarding trading down.

I think we're exactly in Moses' range (most have him as a late 1 early 2).  So he wouldn't be a reach at all.  And I think he truly will be in the discussion for 28, along with Verrett/Fuller at CB, and several WR's. 

 

Obviously, a lot will be determined by what we do in FA.  If we don't get at least a stopgap at LT, then the chances are that OT jumps way up on our team needs.  However, if the draft comes and we haven't picked up a FA and we don't go OT at 28, then I think we should steel ourselves for Bell as our starting LT.  Although I think WR will be their desired position, need may trump that playmaker they have talked about.

At 28, there will be no values at LT.  Moses, in my opinion is just a future RT.  Botonio is a possibility for LT because of his quickness, but don't think he starts his first season.

I'm not a huge Benjamin fan. I think he has potential, but he scares me (in a bad way) more so than any other WR. I'd prefer Cooks or OBJ if we go WR.

I've heard some analysts say that Moses looks more comfortable on the left side, but until this past year, played RT at Virginia.  So I think (hope) that he may be one of those guys that can be solid at either tackle spot.  And if we don't sign one in FA, he may be all that's standing between Bell starting at LT.

 

Now there are other guys that I have heard mixed things about.  Mewhort and Botonio are two guys that I've heard good things about, but some think both will be better suited at Guard, and Brandon Thomas is another guy I like, but he is probably only a RT.  So I guess we'll need to trust our talent evaluators to cut through the over analysis that we get from analysts..

I hear you - I like the idea of Benjamin more than what he has put on tape. He is very inconsistent in his effort and it's strange that he wasn't the #1 receiver on his team.

I'm liking OBJ the more of his tape that I watch. Would not at all be disappointed with him in the first.

Moses at 28 is a huge reach.

[JJman]

If we would take Moses at 28, I don't see why we would trade down into the 2nd round to take him.

Hmmmmm

 

Generally, when you trade down, other teams give you picks to do so.  Why not get the same guy AND the extra pick?

 

That is the idea.

I wouldn't say huge, maybe a bit of a reach
