Are we going to draft a RB.??
I don't think so.
By the way, I read an article yesterday that the Panthers are quietly very high on Safety Nick Emmanwori, and may consider trading down and getting him around #18. I remember a Safety we drafted and turned into an fantastic Linebacker. Nick-E is a little bigger than Thomas Davis was, but has that elite skill-set. Thomas Davis was drafted in the first round at #14. Nick's official role at South Carolina was Free Safety, but he also lined up frequently at linebacker. Just saying I read it.
Hope you're right. If you look at the thread I posted about "visits", you'll see that we have scheduled visits (one.??) with Emmanwori. May not have another one. Probably wouldn't want to 'telegraph' any intentions. Nick Emmanwori would make a terrific Strong Safety. Move him up close to the box and he could wreak havoc against the run game. I would almost rather have him than an Edge guy.
But, I would still LOVE to have Skattebo..
Either would be great. Hey, you'd think Dave Canales would have learned after Xavier spilling the beans before the Draft last year lol
Oh, and by the way, Nick-E was originally signed by South Carolina as a Linebacker, but due to injuries that season, they asked if he would switch to Safety. He did, and did so seamlessly. He was a top Linebacker out of high school.
