Palmetto Proving Grounds

I also think he is better suited for a 3-4, but he could help out everywhere. Our LBs have been in terrible health lately and he could provide some much needed depth there on key situations. Also could rush the end and even play middle line on passing situations. DE's Hardy and Applewhite are inconsistent, I think Melvin could play that spot opposite Charles Johnson.

I've seen a good many mocks that have Jeffery going after 40. Ingram's position has been fluctuating as well. This is the first draft I can remember in a while where there are tons of different scenarios.

Gilmore would definitely be a better fit for the Panthers than Ingram, even if MI6 IS available. There is ongoing talk that the Jaguars might move down. If they need a defensive lineman, they can get a good one further down. The only question is, is there any player that another team really loves to want to move up? Tonight and tomorrow will be very interesting. In this day and time, the communication age, it seems awfully quiet on the trade front....

I love Gilmore, but in no way shape or form is he a top 10 pick. Cox, Keuchly, and Ingram would go before that. The only talk I've heard here in Charlotte on Gilmore is if the Panthers decide to trade down. Good chance Jenkins will still be available in the second round...that would be our corner.

I agree..do not want Keuchly. While we did draft those DTs last year, neither one impressed me or the front office. If Blackmon somehow falls to us we're taking him. We would then probably go after Jenkins in the 2nd and sign a DT free agent or take one late. We dont have a 3rd round pick unfortunately.

That is one name I have not even heard mentioned. And I've read tons of mocks, articles, and have been listening to Charlotte radio. Coples is not a top 10 pick IMO. I would be absolutely furious.

After the second pick there will be so many scenarios you never know what will happen. Blackmon could fall to us..or maybe even Claiborne. Panthers front office is pretty terrible, so you never know what they're thinking.

Yeah, I'm pretty confident that Hurney and Al Davis share some DNA strands.

Because he's local. If they flied him in then I would worried. Guy has a terrible motor and takes plays off. DO NOT WANT.

Pretty sure they've met with Gilmore. Havent heard about Ingram, probably because they're set on Cox if the go with a defender who isnt a corner. They could probably get another second round pick if they trade back.

One of the leaders on defense is John Beason. Drafting a player in the top 10 who plays his position is not a wise move. I dont care if he has been injured of late, his rehab is going great. Moves like that can upset a locker room.

I was at a small, informal gathering a month or so ago where Jerry Richardson spoke for a little while. He said the Panthers were going to be looking for a pass rusher, a cornerback, and a special team return man in the draft. He named a couple of other positions, but I can't remember what they were.
