Prospects Carolina has shown interest in and possible trade back scenario
Over on ole walterfootball.com they have notes regarding the Senior Bowl Practices, prospect meetings, and rumor mills. Now unless you're a guy that just can't get enough on the draft, I'd say skip the Practice notes since EFURY has been doing an excellent job in summing things up in his last few posts on the subject. However, the prospect meetings are intriguing because they talk about which teams are looking at which players. Now obviously it's too early to be putting a ton of stock on these meetings since we all know it's who we meet and interview during Pro Days and at the Combine that will better show our interest, but I think it serves some measure now to give us an idea of what positions the team seem to be focusing on. Also, one thing I did notice is that a lot of our "meetings" have been with projected later round guys (like late 3rd, 4th +). The rumor mill posts also have juicy caveats in them as well, if you're interested. Anyway, I just thought I'd share with you guys the reported Carolina prospect meetings and rumor mill bits.
Prospect Meetings 1-25: Carolina - Cincinnati defensive end/tackle Derek Wolfe
Rumor Mill 1-24: University of Regina (Canada) defensive tackle Akiem Hicks landed on a number of teams' radar at the East-West Shrine Game last week. In speaking to sources this week, a few teams have serious interest in Hicks. Those teams include the Carolina Panthers, New Orleans Saints and Seattle Seahawks.
Prospect Meetings 1-24: Carolina - Troy offensive tackle James Brown, Vanderbilt cornerback Casey Hayward and Texas defensive tackle Kheeston Randall / Carolina - Appalachian State wide receiver Brian Quick and Ohio State wide receiver DeVier Posey
Prospect Meetings 1-23: Carolina - Cal offensive lineman Mitchell Schwartz and Marshall defensive end Vinny Curry
So from these notes it appears like we could be considering adding to our O-Line, D-Line, and WR depth with some late round guys. So for me, if I were to do a mock, the only thing I would take out of this is that if these are the positions we're considering late then I would guess that CB and LB may be the positions we're considering for our 1st and 2nd rounders.
OH! And I haven't yet seen a mock with this mentioned but I think there's one key team that would likely be high on trading up for Trent Richardson and whom we have a good trading relationship with. The New York Jets. Seriously, think about it. We're pick 8 or 9 and they're pick 16. Based on the Redskins trade with the Jaguars last year (pick 10 for pick 16 and the Jags 2nd), there is already a precedence for this range of trading. The Jets were always the best when they were in their "ground and pound" years. LT is a FA and Shone Greene just has not been very good in his career. With the upset in the locker room between Sanchez and Holmes Rex could look to go back to this mode to alleviate the pressure on Sanchez and revert back to their true identity, This could be like the Revis trade where they just HAVE to acquire TR.

Your trade scenario actually does make sense
i could see it happening and would welcome that trade to pick up a 2nd rounder

Definitely
I hadn’t considered them a trading partner but I felt them releasing Thomas Jones was a mistake from day 1. Never really saw that “IT” factor in Shone Green & Jones always ran like a man with something to prove.
On that same note about which positions to draft, I’ve been thinking that in a draft so deep at CB does it really benefit us to take a corner early unless it’s a player who fell and is clearly BPA?

I would love that trade back scenario
I’m going to go to their blog and ask them if they like the trade idea, brb. lol

i really hope we dont get Quick
i just see over hyped bust all over him. Jarret 2.0
I wanna be the very best, like no one ever was
Wouldn't go that far.
Quick has already shown more work ethic in college than Jarrett ever did at any level. He made the conversion from basketball player to football standout pretty admirably.
That said, I think his stock is rising too high. For such an unrefined product, a 2nd round pick is too much. His measurables may be outstanding, but even as an App State fan, I just dont agree with that grade.

For the record.
I didn’t agree with where Armanti was selected either. I had him 4th or 5th round as a WR convert.

we could have waited and taken him in the 4th
i dont know who they thought was going to snatch him up. Bad pick and bad trade. Really pisses me off when we could have taken Ford

We got Belichicked.
He knew Marty had an Armanti boner so Hoodie said that he was going to take Armanti with the pick he traded us.
We got served.
I like to think of myself as a one-man wolfpack.
At least he wore a hoodie.

I may not always be right, but even a blind nut finds a squirrel every once in a while.
Should be
RBs in the draft have lost some of their value and have been going later than in past drafts.
I've seen some things
That suggest that the Bucs might be targeting him with their pick.

That could make things interesting
Could mean Claiborne falls to us at 8/9.
They want to try and find the next Double Trouble
But that would drop Claibourne to us so I dont mind
Good to hear.
I think he could be a really good pick up for cheap to save us a mid-round draft pick for a defensive player or WR.
I'm going to have to ask you to fart out a link for that, sir.

I wouldn't mind seeing us get Vinny Curry
I have seen him play a few times against WVU and he seems like a nice addition. Has anyone said anything about Bruce Irvin lately? I would love to hear thoughts about him.
