Kony Ealy at #28?

So says drafttek anyway, http://www.drafttek.com/2014-NFL-Mock-Draft-Round1b.asp

 

Regardless, there are some valid points and I think we're all gonna need blood pressure medicine on May 8 just in case.

BPA. I won't be mad at him. You have to look at the bigger picture.  Cap considerations are never far from the forefront.

i'd ratehr have dee ford if he was on the board. Fug a DE in round 1

[tiger7_88]

Unless Ford puts on some weight (he's 252), he's not your ideal 4-3 NFL DE. And if he puts on weight, what will that do to his explosiveness and quickness (which are his primary weapons)?

Ford could make a deadly OLB in the 3-4 though.

Ealy (at 273) is a perfect fit at 4-3 DE.

And I would much rather spend a 1st round pick on a 1st round value DE than a 2nd round value OT (Kouandjio) or WR (Adams, Landry).

For me it would be hard to pass on Amaro and OBJ in this situation. But they may value later round receivers more anyway, there is no way to possibly know that except maybe on draft day. Plus they prob have an idea of what they want to do about CJ & Hardy next year. That might come clear in the first pick. I trust them tho.

I was the correspondent for the Panthers on Draftek last year.  They use a computer to change things up and the writers have to sell the idea.  They actually paid me to do it----three figures.

Hmmm taking Daniel McCullers while Cody Latimer is still on the board in the 4th...

[GamecockSmitty4]

I wouldn't be upset with a DE in the first if there was a good one available. That being said, please no to Ealy.

[JawnyBlaze]

No.

[BeasonBeastingBacks]

Nooooooooooope

[Doc Holiday]

We're not going DE or anything on the D-line, I dont even think there is any argument that can be made for that with the clear needs on offense. K.I.S.S

[scarface]

No thanks bro.

[carolina-chuck]

Sure

[JawnyBlaze]

That mock has us passing on OBJ, Benjamin, Matthews, Zach Martin (who I don't really want at #28 but would DAMN sure take over any DLineman).  Insanity.  Two of our seven picks spent on DL.  Mind boggling.
