Better know a prospect - Kevin Dodd

[KB_fan]

Was looking at some mock drafts this a.m. 

In 4 drafts posted at NFL.com Dodd is all over the place.

#9, #17, #27 and us at #30

I'm all for Dodd in the first. One of my favorite 1st round potential Panthers at the moment.

Dobb would be a great fit! Hopefully he last until we pick at 30.

Very interesting prospect

in my point of view DE (or 3-4 OLB) is the third most important position to fill behind QB and LT. It's also one of the hardest to develop good players so you better get the talent if you have the opportunity.

My only issue with him is that he was "the other guy" along the Clemson line. Wouldn't be the first time we've seen a player that was opposite of a star on their line to go somewhere else and not be able to produce. 

Someone may have said this (didn't read through all the pages) but Michael Sam was technically the star of the Missouri line and Ealy looks promising!

igo are you gonna do a mock?

If Dodd is gone like see Panthers draft Carl Nassib Penn state 6'8 282 led the NCAA with 15 sacks if he  is still around when we draft.

Ignore me for obvious reasons when I say no. Cluck Femson.

I think Dodd's draft fate is going to rest heavily on the numbers he puts up at the combine.  If he shows elite athleticism he's certain to be a first round pick.  I think teams are increasingly paying more attention to athletic profiles / explosiveness measures at the DE/EDGE spot (and it makes a lot of sense).

Kony did not have elite explosiveness, and that's why he fell to us in the second round.

Most of what they talked about pre-draft was how quick/powerful he was.  He's also shown, during his time here, that he's very explosive off the line.  I don't think that's why he fell.  He only started 24-26 games at DE.  I think it was more his inexperience at the position.

Pass rush is an issue that must be addressed. Picking at 30 it just depends who is available when we pick. Dobbs sounds like an interesting prospect who could help. OT or CB/safety will be possible selections too. Gettleman could surprise us and take a WR with return ability but I don't it.

He plays football real good,  hope he tackles hard.

some have Dodd ranked higher on their board than Shaq Lawson. I don't know if he is gonna be there at the end of the 1st.
