Could our pick at 28 shape up to be Latimer?

Cody Latimer

We seem to be vetting him more than anyone else in the draft and some recent news/articles suggest he's rising to a late 1st/early 2nd rounder.

6'3 215, highlight vids look sweet, his game film seems to be legit against a very good Michigan St. defense.  

 

 

 

Could this be our 1st round pick?  The OTs we've seem interested in our 2nd/3rd rounders like Fleming, Turner, Moses, and Thomas.

 

*Also want to note I wouldn't take Amaro out of the picture.  The Jets or Ravens may grab him early but if not, he could be available when we pick.

Looks pretty good.  Really good hands.  Great size.  Seems to be a little stiff and not very quick. 

 

Yeah.  I think Latimer and Davante Adams are guys we could wind up taking instead of some of the more highly talked about Cooks and Beckhams of the draft.  

Latimer really has some great athleticism that shines through his game.

I would be pretty upset if hes the pick at 28. Wouldnt mind him in the 2nd but I think its too much of a reach for him in the 1st.

 

You and I feel the same way, Chuck. Sure, I think Latimer has some game, but there are a ton of different prospects I'd much rather have at 28 than him. I mean, at the WR position alone, we're talking OBJ/Adams/Matthews/possibly Cooks/possibly Benjamin... It's really hard to say I would be happy, or understand, the Latimer pick if he is picked at 28.

You read my mind.

At the end of the day, I really think Latimer will be a 2nd rounder the earliest. I cant see him in the 1st. For whatever reasons, Panthers fans this year is believing that everyone will be going in the 1st. I mean only 32 players can go in the 1st lol.

Theres about 4-5 wrs that I will easily take over Latimore at 28.

      My one and only mock draft

      Walker/Stewart>Mykel on EDGE for me I’d still like to add TMac.    The only two WRs we have contracted beyond this year are XL and Coker (ERFA). Moving forward with TMac and those two feels much better.

      The trade below a few years ago was so bad and in favor of the Ravens, tf was Arizona doing Cardinals receive: Marquise Brown and 3rd round pick  Ravens receive: 23rd overall pick

      keaton is a former Catamount.  The list I saw had only 2--Sanker and Emmanwori.  But I do recall hearing about Bowman. The theory that we are looking for specific hybrid safeties is upheld by this.  Keaton fits the "type" who can play zone or deep and in the box.  "He's a physical player with a high motor and a nose for the football. He has a good understanding of zone coverage and can play in the box as a force defender. Keaton is a leader and has earned a single-digit jersey number at Temple, a tradition reserved for team leaders." At WCU, he averaged 6.5 tackles per game, leading the team before transferring. Sanker has special teams abilities and a high football IQ.  He can cover TEs and RBs and keeps the play in front.  He would be a nice fit as a depth player.  I did not know they met with Bowman at the SR bowl.  He is more of a free safety who struggles in tackling/run support, but that is not to say he is not versatile within his capabilities. Stark is a SS who is a brutal hitter, but I don't see his hybrid qualities--they met with him at the Combine when everyone was in the building, but that was nearly 2 months ago and I don't think there has been contact since. Emmanwori is who they would love to have in my opinion.  NFL Draft Buzz:  "His ability to play in the box, handle man coverage responsibilities, and deliver bone-crushing hits makes him an ideal fit for defenses that ask their safeties to wear multiple hats." So it seems they are looking for a type.  The Keaton pick is intriguing to me because he is a sleeper who would clearly be there in round 5 or later.  They seem attracted to his characteristics, and he is a thumper who can play deep.  To me, the fact that they want 2 hybrid safeties of a certain type is rather obvious.  Maybe I am forcing a round peg into a square hole, but I love trying to see what skillsets teams value to guess draft picks.
