Kevo Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Don't know enough about Thompson to comment. But, you have to trust that the Panthers know good defensive talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born A-Ginn Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Don't know enough about Thompson to comment.But, you have to trust that the Panthers know good defensive talent.Apparently we visited with him 3 times. The last two defensive players that we showed that much interest in were Luke Kuechly, and Star Lotulelei... who we also visited with 3 times each.People's problem with Shaq was they just don't know how he fits in the NFL. They said he could potentially be a very unique piece with a creative defensive coordinator. Apparently we're pretty high on him and have some sort of idea on how we want to use him.

LookAboutFalcon Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Luxury pick that is for sure. I like the player but was a hybrid linebacker really worth a 1st rounder? It must have been their bpa on the board. Better than reaching for a need which is what saints did with Peat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peat will have a role on this team, and we definitely needed depth at tackle, because Bryce Harris is terrible and Streif is aging, but unless someone slides to guard, this wasn't a reach for a need. We have two good tackles. This was strictly picking the best player on their board. They wanted to move up for defense but couldn't get it done. Glad they stayed true to their board instead of reaching for Dupree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kid is so big he can roll rushers around Brees and let Brees step up. Something Brees loves to do. Worse case is you got more depth and thats not a bad thing.

When the pick was first made I figured Armstead would slide inside, but he's a little thin and I think would struggle with the heavier DTs. It just seems like depth at tackle and if he beats out Streif, all the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O-Ther Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 If an OT is the BPA when we pick, we will. If a DE is the BPA, we'll take that DE. We used free agency to fill needs. We're getting the best talent we can no matter what position they play. Post-draft free agency and training camp cuts for anything we feel a need at.
