NFL Films Greg Cosell on Panthers probable Top 4 draft board

[Peppers90]

I believe as to most of us here and everywhere think the Panthers draft board is down to LB Luke Kuechly, CB Stephon Gilmore, WR Michael Floyd, and DT Fletcher Cox.

NFL Flims Greg Cosell is a draft expert I (among others) respect highly. He looks strictly at game film and translates that to the NFL game. He doesn't take combine or pre-draft workouts into account. He rates these 4 players very highly.

Here are some of his remarks about each..

Believes Floyd is a better prospect than Blackmon.

Interested in seeing what he says about Gilmore. That's the only thing I disagree with.

As for Poe, some of you should check out some of his game videos on Youtube. The more I see of him, the more I feel he was producing more than people give him credit for despite his lack of numbers. There were technique problems from time to time which is expected but he displayed the ability to be a wrecking force in the run game.

I value what Cosell says, and I couldn't agree more with Kuechly and Floyd. Cox, too, in fact.

However, I hope we don't have Gilmore in our top four prospects. I'm not that high on him. If you are taking a CB in the top ten, he has to project to be a number one type.

To me, Gilmore is not enough of a playmaker and although he would be a "safe" pick, I would prefer to wait until later to draft a CB.

I have to agree with him, that it does indeed come down to these 4 players.

Gilmore really scares me as he's extremely raw though. Extremely athletic.

I agree with him entirely. Kuechly is really growing on me, and i've been 100% behind Cox being far and away the best DT for over a month now. I considered Floyd the top receiver in this class pre-combine and all. I haven't read much by Cosell, but I already like him.

Not to sure about Gilmore, but I would be fine with any of those four. He mentioned Kuechly's versatility both position and scheme wise, and that interest me greatly. Drafting him obviously does not mean we are switching to a 3-4 defense, but it could allow us to put some 3-4 packages and looks in the playbook. I also love his combination of cerebral and instinctual skills.

I'd be fine with Kuechly or Floyd

Barring a trade down, it will come down to Cox or Kuechly. I would be happy with either.

Cosell is tweeting a lot about Coples right now. Good stuff if you guys wanna check it out. Not really about Panthers, but giving good insight to what he see's in Coples.

And even if Cox falls to us, I've heard rumbling of the Eagles wanting to trade up for him.

I'm sorry maybe its just me but i don't see all the hype about Fletcher Cox...Just about every play he over plays the ball or getting man handled if a linemen get there hands on him.The only positives i see from him is he has a high motor & he can play DT or DE.

I think the Panthers will end up either taking Blackmon or passing on him.
Blackmon is slipping I think as Floyd is bigger and stronger and guys like Dez is much bigger. Wondering if Weedon is the guy who made Blackmon look good.

It should be Kuechly or Cox.
