At first glance, I wasn't so happy with the Luke Kuechly pick, but, I was glad it wasn't Quinton Coples. As the time wore on, and I thought about the situation, I realized how much I absolutely loved the Kuechly pick, and how he will be an instant upgrade to our LB corp, making it one of the best in the NFL. Whether be plays Will or Mike, he will provide an immediate impact to our team, and give James Anderson a break for a while, allowing him to make plays outside of the box.

(I do think that Kuechly will be the Mike, moving Beason outside to the Will. It will allow Kuechly to play coverage over the middle, allow Beason to prowl one side of the field, and blitz like a mad-man.)

Then, we took Silatolu. I definitely did not like the pick, especially since Tru Johnson was still on the board. However, I thought about it last night, and I realized that, if Silatolu is as good as everyone thinks he is, our left side of the offensive line is going to be mean, and it needs to be. We need to protect Cam's blindside. We need to protect him. Silatolu gives us someone who will solidify that position for ten years, becoming an anchor to the line. Good pick.

Everyone freaked out about the trade for Frank Alexander, but I love it. He has been cleared to play, no heart conditions. One of the analysts said it was all Riley Reiff could do to hold him off. He's fast from what I've seen, he has an impact, and Hurney said he could come in and play immediately. Also, he gives us a guy to light a fire underneath Hardy's ass. No more motorcycle accidents, Kraken, it's time you get to playin', or else Alexander's going to be starting.

Then we get to Joe Adams. Mother of God. This guy. He's an absolute monster. He can return punts, kicks, play slot receiver, play running back, it doesn't really matter. He can do it all. I honestly think he'll be Offensive Rookie of the Year. He is that kind of special. He has fumbled 11 times in his career, but, some of those are counted as muffed punts early in his career. I wouldn't worry about it. He's going to be a monster in the NFL. The next Percy Harvin, but without the migraines.

Then comes Josh Norman. I heard the only reason he didn't go in the 2nd round, was because he's from such a small school. But, he gives size to our DBs, he's fast, and has really long arms. He apparently is a special teams monster, too (he blocked 4 kicks in his career). He's friends with Mike Tolbert, and he played High School ball with Armanti. So, he has some friends coming into the team, which generates good chemistry.

Now, all we need is Drew Butler and BPA, and we're going to be stacked for next year.

One of the more better posts I've seen on this board. Very logical. 2 footballs one cup.

Funny you say that. Joe Adams actually does have a history of migraines.

Not only will the left side be strong protection for Cam, but can you imagine running behind those two? They'll plow a hole through brick wall for Williams and Co.

I won't lie. The first pick pissed me off. But then after settling down, I realized it was the best choice. The rest of the draft Hurney has been hitting it on all cylinders. He's killing it this draft.

Probably cam sum up the draft this way:

A lot of talent added to the roster, not necessarily at positions the Panther fan base perceived as areas of need.
