Love this time of year. 

 

Round 1: OT DJ Humphries Florida

One of the more nimble athletic T's in the draft. Not polished yet, but has a alot of upside. 

 

Round 2: WR Nelson Agholor University of Southern California

Would be a nice addition and make for a nice young nucleus of WR's. 

 

 

Round 3: S Anthony Harris Virginia

This guy is a ball hack. Led the NCAA two years ago in picks. 

 

 

Round 4: OT Lawrence Gibson Virgina Tech

Double dip.

That's nice and all but DJ is a 2-3 round prospect. Drafting him 25th overall would be reaching.

 

You even keep up with draft news and rumblings?

 

Lol at DJ being a 2-3 round prospect. He is widely regarded as one of the few true LT prospects in the draft. 

 

He is probably be gone by the time we pick in the 1st.

What makes him a 2-3 round prospect? Because you say he is? Every single guy paid to evaluate these kids has him going in the first round. He may have started as a 2-3 guy very early in the process, but he's shot up draft boards every since and had a very good combine performance. He isn't a finished and needs to be coached up, but the same can be said for every prospect there at 25. Humphries is on my list of 5 players I'd be ecstatic to select in the first.

Yeah, um, no.

DJ is a raw, unfinished prospect who has been injury-prone the last two years.

Rumblings are just that.

You know how many raw players get drafted in the first every year? Every college prospect is unfinished to one extent or another. He's more inconsistent than anything but his natural ability make him a first round talent. So, tell me, who is there at 25 that is a finished product, is polished, and is a first round prospect?

I could see Humphries if he falls to 25.  Lots of people calling that a natural fit since he's a hometown player.  Might not be there at 25 though.  One player I think a lot of people are overlooking in the 2nd is LB Eric Kendricks.  The Panthers shocked everyone by taking DE Kony Ealy in the 2nd round last year after despite having no need at the position at the time.  Now the move looks brilliant with Hardy out the door.  Thomas Davis won't be around too much longer and grabbing the promising Kendricks would be a solid move in the 2nd.

Cue the "game is not played in underwear" soundbite.

I've seen nothing that suddenly indicates Humphries as a first round selection outside his combine performance. Prior to his workouts, DJ was viewed as a second day prospect. Sorry but I'm not a prisoner of the moment.

Then you haven't watched him very closely. Every flaw in his game is coachable. He has a high motor, plays nasty and through the whistle, possesses elite athleticism for the position, and flashed some dominance in his play. Like I said, consistency is his biggest knock and that comes from inconsistent technique.

Let's hear your selection at 25 that's free of any holes in his game.

      Panther Needs (3/14): The Shift to Defense

      By shaq · Posted

      Darrell Jackson would be a fantastic pickup for us, I think he could replace 80% of what A’Shawn gave us last year. With more passing rush upside going forward in the future, I’m a big proponent of large framed defensive tackles. Pairing Derrick Brown with another 6’5 35inch arm length DT would be so fun to watch. Let’s continue being huge in the middle, allow our linebackers to flow to the ball uninterrupted.

      Fully agree that the best thing to do is ignore them, which takes a away their thrill of thinking they got to you.

      Panther Needs (3/14): The Shift to Defense

      I agree with you on the pick of Thienemen in the first. I think he will still be there and he's a smart, fast and sturdy player. He's who we need back there. In the second, I like Rodriguez over Golday. I agree that off the ball linebackers are desperately needed here, even with our great FA pick up. I think with our third pick, we're going to dip into OT territory instead of the D-line. While I agree that we need another disruptor at the point of attack that is stout enough to just stonewall a center and a guard at the same time, we've got a shaky and expensive O-line at the present that is just about to age out of the game. I think we snag Blake Miller out of Clemson here and give him a year behind Moton to learn and put some weight and strength on. He can also jump right in and play right guard at any time. Also, and this might sound crazy, but anyone who has put up with multiple seasons at Clemson will be able to take the heat and humidity of training camp at the start of the season and early games against the NFCSouth.  Beyond that, your guess is as good as mine. We do need that QB for competition and realistically to study for back-up. Luke Altmyer out of Illinois seems to fit the mold of the point guard type QB that they want from Bryce. That'd make an apples to apples situation that could make coaching and game planning easy. On the other hand North Dakota State's Cole Payton could be an intriguing choice as well as a big dual threat guy. Both could be there for our fourth pick or both could be gone. Will QBs continue to slide this season like last? Who knows?
