Another gold digger. I knew the Hardy case and others like it would be open season on football players.

Addison and Horton are garbage - average backups at best - and if they're starting again like they did to begin last year our defense is going to be bottom third of the league again like last year.

I'm worried. The success of our defense is predicated on pressure from our DEs. CJ is proven but declining, whether it be from injuries, age, or simply not having Hardy across from him, he didn't look as good last year. The "late season success" people like to mention seemed a lot more of a result of the poor competition to me. I hope Ealy and Alexander can make large strides this year, but it's far from certain. If they are the same or only marginally better we're in for a rough year. I have absolutely zero expectations of Horton or Addison, they're average backups at best. IF Ealy and Alexander step up their game, I think we're alright barring injuries. Otherwise, it's going to be another middle of the pack year for us defensively.

To me: 1st. D 2nd. C 4th. A 5thA. F 5thB. B Average out to a C. I sure hope I'm wrong about the first two picks. Wouldn't be the first time.

ok, I can get behind this. I wanted Josh Robinson, but I'll take this guy.

So much for Hardy lasting til the 5th

I'm ok with this. Not the OT I wanted, but maybe the one I deserve....

All credit to CPantherKing for bringing my attention to this kid. Robinson's story is straight out of a movie. Dead father, crook mother, lived with his grandmother til she passed (he found her in the kitchen), lived in his car at times in HS. He seems to have a great attitude. On the field he's a short, stocky powerful runner who was an absolute nightmare to tackle. How this kid hasn't been hyped up more is beyond me. He had a slow 40 (4.7), but that's not his game. He's got a good jump cut, good vision, good enough burst, great lower strength. He's a very good blocker, especially for his size (important, judging by our staff's comments). Good pass catcher. Just watch his breakdowns. You'll be amazed. http://draftbreakdown.com/players/josh-robinson-2

I'll second the 500 yds 4 TDs vote.

I really really hope we're able to trade our 4th and 5th to move up into the 3rd for SOMETHING to get me happy about this draft, heh.

All their talent was on one side of the ball....

People aren't complaining that Gettleman traded up for an offensive weapon. They're complaining he traded up for Funchess. Who I wouldn't have wanted at our original #57, much less at the cost of our 3rd and 6th too.

I'm just at a loss. Devin Funchess with Strong still on the board...and a number of other better WRs. Shaq and now Funchess. Gettleman is testing my faith.

Just our 3rd and 6th for a 2nd? Thats out freaking standing. That's how it's GD done, Gettles. Nail these two picks and I'm totally on board with Shaq. Edit: If we gave 2nd, 3rd, 6th for the 2nd then that makes sense.

Panthers trade up!

Aaaand there goes Preston Smith.

And there goes another guy we need in the 2nd. The cupboard is quickly getting bare.

I hope they do get Gregory. Olsen or Swole Bones could block him with one hand behind their backs. Swole Bones could probably bench press him 30 times. Hell, Shaq Thompson benched his equivalent 20 times at the combine.

Oy, Smith is who I wanted in the 2nd. edit: Donovan Smith that is.

i would have rather have had Shaq Mason in the 4th or 5th.

I'm glad we didn't take Dorsett, my only problem with the Colts taking him that early is it pushes the good WRs left up the board.

I don't like the pick but I'll trust the Don knows something I don't. I didn't like the Luke pick either. My biggest concern is wtf can we get at OT? There's been a run. Think Fisher is lasting to 57? Collins? No. Maybe Clemmings but I'm not a big fan. Maybe Donovan Smith. Still solid options at WR possible, but if Perriman is good enough for Newsome he's good enough for me. If tomorrow's pick isn't a WR or OT I'm going to start getting annoyed. This also means we probably won't get my favorite defensive prospect for us Preston Smith.

With two picks to go before us, I'd be happy with Perriman or Humphries of who's left.

OBJ's route running and hands are what makes him special. Smith doesn't have either. edit: not saying I wouldn't be ok with him in the 2nd, just that he's not really close to OBJ.

After doing some of my own research, I wouldn't touch Peat with a 10 ft pole. Change that pick to Humphries and I'm good.
