Justin Blackmon To Visit Panthers
Could be due diligence, could be real interest. Panthers would likely need to trade up to select him in the draft. If he does fall to the 9th selection, it is a good possibility he would be the pick.Blackmon's draft stock has been on a steady rise for two years, and the two-time Biletnikoff Award winner has built a resume worthy of a top-10 pick in the 2012 draft.
With former Cowboys star receiver Dez Bryant off to play for the Dallas Cowboys, Blackmon stepped into the void as a redshirt sophomore -- and quickly stepped out of Bryant's immense shadow. Blackmon earned multiple All-American honors and was the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year. It was the first time in 12 years a non-quarterback earned the title.
Blackmon redshirted his first season in Stillwater, but came on as the team's most productive newcomer in 2009. His 20 receptions covered 260 yards and two touchdowns, helping to overcome the loss of Bryant to NCAA suspension for lying to investigators.
He lit up opponents consistently in '10 with 111 receptions for 1,782 yards and 20 touchdowns. Blackmon gained over 100 yards receiving and at least one touchdown in all 12 games in which he played in 2010, including 5-157-2 against a tough Nebraska squad (playing against top CB Prince Amukamara) and 9-172-2 in the team's 36-10 dismantling of Arizona in the Alamo Bowl.
Blackmon didn't let up in 2011, accumulating 113 catches for 1,337 yards and 15 touchdowns during the regular season in helping the Cowboys earn a trip to the Fiesta Bowl.
Scouts are a bit dubious about Blackmon, however, wondering if he will end up more like former OSU stud receivers Adarius Bowman or Rashaun Woods than like Bryant. His midseason DUI arrest in 2010 will not help his character grade. However, even with average speed for his size, his strength and hands should make him a solid value as a steady, if not elite, lead receiver.

There is a really good chance he doesn't beat out Gettis or Lafell to get on the field.
So now it's about route running.
Cam has brought the ladies back to Bank of America. We don't need this guy scaring them away. Maybe he can get a Red Stripe.
Then he has nothing over the 2 wr we have on the roster.
Lafell is bigger a better blocker and has great hands. His route running has improve greatly.
Gettis is bigger faster and has always ran great routes.
We don't need Blackmon he won't even see the field unless somebody gets injuried.
He liked him by game 11 when Lafell took #2 Legadoo. Plus #89 has been giving Lafell Love for a while now. So that Rivera not liking Lafell Gettis may have worked in TC but is not true now.
Even with a ACL Gettis is faster then Blackmon and taller.
You can deny all you want but there us a good chance that Blackmon doesn't see the Field if we draft him.
however i would fap uncontrollably
I don't know if Blackmon can be a #1. He's not Megatron, Aj green, Fitz or JJ. He has below avg. height and avg. speed.
He played in the Big 12 which hasn't been know for great defense lately. How do you know he can beat Pro football CB.
Blackmon ran a low 4.4 40, I wouldn't call that slow but you're right about his size, he is on the smaller size. He is around the same height as Ted Ginn.
Need is a very potent word. It's not that big of a need. It is a need, but not as major as other positions that could be addressed. I guess it would fall under Priority. Nonetheless, if Blackmon is picked up somehow. You can scratch off that 'need' and work on other needs the rest of the draft.
For all you guys that don't want Blackmon at the expense of a defensive player who may just turn out to be slightly above average (if that), I got news for you: If we stay at number 9, and Blackmon is still there at number 9, then Blackmon will be a Carolina Panther.
He ran a 4.45 in a staged pro day. With Pads he is a low 4.5 guy that is avg.
We also won more game later in the season right?
I'm still looking for someone to come up with a reason (other then espn said so) that Blackmon beats out Lafell and a Healthy Gettis?
Both are bigger 1 is faster and they both have exp. and know the playbook.
Gettis ran 4.47 without pads which is slower than Blackmon. Just saying.
4.43 if you want to go that route because he was timed by two different people.
