Carolina Panthers

what does that even me

First round commitment to a WR would mean a pretty huge money commitment to a position disproportionate to that position's importance on the field, yes I think that is a Jerry jones move. Personal belief is WR should be one of the last big investments-- line is the most important.

if the top 3 picks went this way.. i assume we (the eagles) would listen to offers for those teams looking to trade up for lane johnson
BUT, if we use the pick.. we would go jordan
then try and get someone like pugh using our 2nd (either sit and wait for him.. or trade back into the late 1st)

at Eifert going at 6. I doubt the saints take Fluker, Rob ryan is going to make that pick and go with defense. Jets better use one of those picks on cooper or warmack

2013 NFL Draft: Ten things I believe amid all the misinformation
http://www.nfl.com/draft/story/0ap1...-things-i-believe-amid-all-the-misinformation
It's hard to know what to believe in the days leading up to the 2013 NFL Draft. I've had several instances when I've been told one thing by a personnel man ... only to be told the exact opposite 20 minutes later by an executive from a different team.
Despite all of the misinformation that is out there, I do feel confident in a few areas. Here are 10 things I believe as we head toward Thursday night:
(function() {/* define adPath */nfl.createVideoPlayer({contentId: "0ap2000000162051",related: "team",adSetting: "1",size: "small",dartURL: "http://ad.doubleclick.net/pfadx/nfl...ith;event=draft;tile=10;test=;sz=640x360;ord=" + (nfl.constants.AD_RANDOM || window.adRandom) + "?",html5DartURL: ("http://ad.doubleclick.net/pfadx/nfl...an_smith;event=draft;tile=10;test=;sz=640x360{dcopt};ord=" + (window.adRandom || nfl.constants.AD_RANDOM) + "?").replace('{dcopt}',''),uniqid: "vid2"});}());
1) I believe Eric Fisher and Luke Joeckel will be taken in the first three picks.
The Kansas City Chiefs are a near-lock to select an offensive tackle with the first overall selection. (I think Fisher has a great shot at being their choice.) And I also expect either the Jacksonville Jaguars or Oakland Raiders to select one, as well.
2) I believe the San Diego Chargers will have to trade up if they want to land OT Lane Johnson.
Once upon a time, the Chargers were in a great spot to nab the Oklahoma offensive tackle. However, with the both Fisher and Joeckel expected to go early, I don't see how Johnson falls to pick No. 11.
3) I believe Sharrif Floyd could fall out of the top 10 if the Oakland Raiders pass on him at No. 3.
The teams picking fourth through ninth either don't fit Floyd scheme-wise or they are set at the position. The Tennessee Titans (10th pick) would be his last hope to land in the top 10, barring a trade-up from another team.
(function() {/* define adPath */nfl.createVideoPlayer({contentId: "0ap2000000162047",related: "team",adSetting: "1",size: "small",dartURL: "http://ad.doubleclick.net/pfadx/nfl...ith;event=draft;tile=10;test=;sz=640x360;ord=" + (nfl.constants.AD_RANDOM || window.adRandom) + "?",html5DartURL: ("http://ad.doubleclick.net/pfadx/nfl...an_smith;event=draft;tile=10;test=;sz=640x360{dcopt};ord=" + (window.adRandom || nfl.constants.AD_RANDOM) + "?").replace('{dcopt}',''),uniqid: "vid3"});}());
4) I believe Justin Hunter is going to be selected in the first round.
I'm not extremely high on this Tennessee wideout, but apparently several teams feel differently. He's created a lot of buzz over the last week and numerous teams have told me that he is a lock to go on Thursday night.
5) I believe Manti Te'o will hear his name called in Round 1, too.
There just aren't 32 better football players in this draft class who would push Te'o out of the first round. I believe the Baltimore Ravens would be elated if he fell to them at No. 32, but I don't see him falling that far down the board.
6) I believe there's greater than a 50 percent chance that we don't have a running back selected in the first round.
Eddie Lacy needed to convince everyone at his pro day that he is worthy of a first-round selection. He failed to do so, and I don't see any other running back solidifying a spot in the top 32, either.
7) I believe the Miami Dolphins will draft a cornerback in the second round.
The Dolphins found Sean Smith in the second round back in 2009, and I think that is where they will find his replacement, as well. I'd look for Miami to land safety Kenny Vaccaro, tight end Tyler Eifert or offensive guard Chance Warmack with its top selection at No. 12 overall.
I believe we will have a surprise cornerback selected on Thursday night.
Look for someone like Robert Alford or Darius Slay to sneak into the back end of the first round. With several teams in need of CBs at the bottom of the round, we could see a run on the position.
9) I believe Jamar Taylor is one of the safest picks in this draft.
Taylor has passed every test. He was very good on tape, he had a great week at the Senior Bowl and he performed well at the NFL Scouting Combine. He should hear his name called either late in the first round or at the top of the second.
Jeremiah: Top 50 draft prospects
How do the best players in the 2013 draft stack up against each other? Daniel Jeremiah presents his definitive top 50. More ...
10) I believe none of us have a clue as to when/where these quarterbacks are going to go.
I can't recall another year when there was such uncertainty as to where the top signal-callers will land. I spoke with several team executives over the last 48 hours and they were literally speechless when I asked them to match QB prospects with other teams. Nobody has a feel for this group.

His former College coach is the HC @Buffalo and they are in dire need out a QB
Tis the only legit reason he could go that high

I don't buy that line of reasoning that so many (ESPN, SI) are pushing. I certainly hope Buffalo's HC is smart enough not to take this guy in the 1st just because he coached him in college.

From Reddit, re: that Nolan Nawrocki criticism of Geno/Black QB #02
http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2013/04/21/bell-geno-smith-racial-bias/2101977/
As for Smith, let Trent Dilfer weigh in. The former Super Bowl champ runs the Elite 11 passing camp, matching top college quarterbacks with hot-shot high school prospects. Of the six college quarterbacks who worked the camp last summer in Redondo Beach, Calif., Smith was the only one who arrived with full knowledge of the 89-page playbook Dilfer put together and sent to participants three weeks before camp opened.
"Geno showed up, and on Day 1, he could have taught it," Dilfer told USA TODAY Sports. "He didn't just know it, he owned it. "The Pro Football Weekly report should be discarded," Dilfer added. "It's almost laughable, the stuff he put in there."

@JasonLaCanfora: Hearing the Bears working out NC State QB Mike Glennon in Raleigh tomorrow. Hmm.
