This is why I think we won't go OT in the first since Fisher is a good second round option. Cause regardless no OT we take will start anyway.

ummmmmm, isn't a safe bet that fisher will be there in the 2nd.. there is always a run on players, especially at positions that aren't particular deep in the draft
wouldn't surprise me at all if fisher went in the 1st or very very early 2nd
look at the 2013 draft, where by draft time kyle long and Justin pugh went 19th and 201th

Yeah that's true and I'm not banking on it. I just know that regardless of how bad our line is we won't reach for one if there's better talent at another position.

the most realistic play for the panthers would be:
1st: Oline
2nd and 3rd: rb and wr
only gurley and Gordon have shots of making it into the first, so the rests will be available
wr: cooper, white, parker, strong and maybe green beckham all go in the 1st
the drop off on the Oline would be way bigger for you guys.. whereas you can still get good talent at those other 2 spots in the 2nd and 3rd

Jets working out Winston
I listed all the actual picks on Twitter, but the freaking Patriots win the Super Bowl, then have 11 picks in the draft, while the other 3 teams in the division all have 6, and of the top 100 or so picks, the Pats have more than any of them. 
God, I hate those bastards.
Official Draft Order is listed in the OP (technically the 3rd post on page 1)

if Jaelen Strong is around in the 2nd round that would be a nice compliment to K Benj

strong is going in the 1st.. MAYBE green-beckham's off field stuff causes him to fall out of the first.. then there's perriman and coates.. and you got funchess too
but they could go a couple ways, got the smaller speedy guys too: devin smith, dorsett and locket

Our film expert sat down for a session with the draft's biggest defensive force. One thing became clear: Leonard Williams has the brains to match the brawn
LOS ANGELES — Altogether, I watched approximately 1,000 hours of football last season. Roughly 20 minutes of that was dedicated to the college game.
For years my interest has lied exclusively with the pros, which is why I felt like a hobo with no railcar as USC’s associate SID, Paul Goldberg, used a fingerprint touchpad to get me through the glass doors of the John McKay Center, home of the Trojans’ football offices. Up a winding ivory-tiled staircase is the main lobby, affixed with trophies, game balls and assorted red and gold memorabilia. Hallways feature movie poster-sized photos of recent USC greats, some in Trojan uniform (Troy Polamalu), others in current NFL digs (Carson Palmer). Something about the environment—perhaps all the natural light—makes a visitor feel both welcomed and privileged to be there.
Down the hallway on the left are small classrooms. It’s here where I will meet with junior defensive lineman Leonard Williams. A few days prior, I added several hours on top of my 20-minute college football quota by dissecting each of Williams’ snaps from USC’s September 6 victory at Stanford. And hours before our meeting, I watched Williams, a projected top-five pick, gyrate around an auxiliary field for more than 100 NFL scouts, coaches and front-office executives during USC’s pro day. Many have described the 6-foot-5, 302-pounder as an “athletic freak.” With only spandex between him and thin air, that reputation was furthered.
Immediately following the workout was his mini media tour. Over the course of six interviews, Williams said exactly what a projected draft pick is supposed to say: nothing of substance, but stated eloquently. Ninety minutes later we are in the classroom, ready to talk real football. He perks up when he walks in and sees “all-22” coaches film projected on the wall.
Williams takes a seat alongside me in front of a computer monitor that doubles as a telestrator. I tell him there are a lot of “athletic freaks” in the NFL, but the ones who prosper are those who also have a grasp of football knowledge and fundamentals. I’m here today to get a feel for Williams’ “football IQ.”
Unwarranted self-satisfaction flickers through me when Williams says that the Stanford game film is what many NFL teams had him analyze during 15-minute combine meetings. That figures; Stanford’s was the best offensive line Williams faced. It was also his most productive outing. I later found out he wasn’t even expected to play due to an ankle injury suffered in practice that week.
Williams was meaningfully involved in roughly 20 of the Trojan defense’s 68 plays. In no sequential order, we go through about a dozen of them. The first is a takedown of scrambling QB Kevin Hogan, which came off a two-man stunt improvised by Williams and edge rusher J.R. Tavai.
As Williams breaks down the play, it’s immediately apparent that he has a capacity for not just understanding the intricacies of football but explaining them. He can even articulate his instincts. His description of the stunt is littered with football lexicon; if put into a textbook, almost half of the words would be bolded and defined in the back.
I have visions of readers closing browsers, their heads spinning a hundred miles an hour. Grateful to be the one running the clicker, I rewind the play and restate much of what Williams spewed out, only in laymen’s terms. Williams catches on and slows his delivery from there on out.
But he doesn’t dumb things down too much, which is good. He softly elaborates on every play, liberally applying the word “sir” when answering questions. He politely refutes any thoughts he disagrees with. And, if necessary, he corrects me in a way that engenders a continued open dialogue.
Much of what we review in this film session reaffirms why many believe Williams is indeed the best defensive lineman in this draft. See for yourself.

[COLOR=#red]That was the right move for them... Do I like Bortles? No, never did.
But you CANNOT win in this league without a Franchise QB. Proven only twice that a dominant defense + Elite run game gets you a Superbowl.
I've told my boy Williams has always been the pick from me before any WR, hopefully it stays that way. Turn around in the second if Strong is still there... another great draft on those two picks alone.
The draft is too far away.[/COLOR]
