CBS' Prisco hates the pick & SB Nation's Kadar, lukewarm

[ChuckWag78]

5th year option.

 

This is why we didn't move down and out of the 1st. We locked up the player the FO wanted and we get a 5 yr option on a LONG TERM prospect.

 

I am happy with the pick vs who was left on the board.

Oh, and I find it hiarious to see that just because Prisco doesn't comprehend what position Thompson is going to play, he seems to think former Pro Bowl LB Ron Rivera and top-notch DC Sean McDermott will also have that same problem.

lol

I predicted the pick, even after sleeping on it, I don't like it

Prisco and PU are against the pick?

SUPERB OWL!

Ok where do we go in the 2nd and 3rd?

[Panthers8969]

At the beginning of the draft process Shaq was a locked first round pick. He dropped because of his 40 time (he did great in other drills) and because people claim he's undersized. He's not undersized. The 40 time is overblown. He's still first round talent.

He ran a slow 40 on purpose anyways

I hate to say it, (i really do) but its going to be D line. Eddie Goldman or Owambe Odigizaga

[TylerVagyler]

We're picking bottom of all the rounds. Just like it wasn't there bottom of the first it won't be there bottom of the second eithr.

 

 

You don't know that. We were one pick away from getting the OT we wanted.

Who gives a poo? Tell Prisco to call me in 4 years

[TylerVagyler]

You want me to take your words for it or the scouts? The scouts may not always be right but in the middle or even beginning of every college season they normally mock who will be high draft picks. I don't think you can claim that as well.

 

Not sure what you're trying to say here. My point is that it's not impossible that a WR or OT is there for us at the end of a round. Last year we drafted KB at the end of a round. You never know who will fall.

25. Shaq Thompson, LB/S, Washington: C+ Grade

I had Shaq Thompson to the Panthers - in the second round. I only had him falliing that far because it was apparent that they really liked him. In fact, I slotted Thompson to the Panthers at No. 25 a few weeks ago, but ultimately thought that was a bit too early for him. The teams we spoke to agreed, as they had him as a second-round prospect. Having said that, this is a fine pick, as Thompson's versatility will definitely help Carolina's defense. He'll be able to play both safety and linebacker, depending on the situation.

Amazing how an amateur site picks up on why Thompson was drafted instantly, whereas "expert analysts" like Prisco are puzzled.

[tiger7_88]

And it slips away. That's the feeling every team picking in the bottom of the draft get.

Guess we should just give up then.

[Nick_81]

My question is, what the actual fug do these "legit" analysts, that everyone likes to bring up, know about what the hell is best for us?  Quit smoking analyst pole.  If they knew jack poo, they'd be doing something that was actually helpful besides spewing bullshit.  Please tell me when they've been right about any player we've picked since DG got here.

[GotSwag?]

I doubt he would have made it to 57.  Was it a reach?  Yes.  Was it drafting in a position of need?  No.  

 

Will Panthers fans be happy we got him once he is on the field and heaven forbid something happen to davis?  Yes

 

IDC what they say.  I would almost rather the experts hate the picks.  You read Seahawks and our division rivals fans reactions to Shaq being a Panther.....tells me all I need to know.  

[704 Reasons]

Good thing Prisco doesn't make our picks.

 

No way in fuging hell are you gonna get me to be excited about a reach on an interior OL or an OT prospect who COULD help out but needs work in round 1.
