Interesting....  But it's Mel "the hairdoo" Kiper....

That being said: while we fans have a lot of fun playing the mock draft games, and the pundits get to spend millions of key strokes and hours on camera yapping about the draft; we are useless spectators.

It's the football guys who make the choices and understand players to a degree we'll never really know.  I enjoy it as a fan, but realize I'm a complete tool when it comes to knowing how these guys project and become successful NFL players.

But, it would be crazy if Cook did fall into the 2nd.  He was a top 10 pick before the draft because he's a match up guy.

They got no running back either. Idk what they are gonna do, but if Cook is there no way I see them passing him up.

Me either.  But Cook and his thug entourage seem like a weird fit in Green Bay, Wisconsin.  Might actually weed out the crew and be good for him though, I dunno.

No idea how the Panthers feel about him.

I wouldn't mind picking him up at 40 . He's not a power back but seems pretty damn explosive, fast, catches well. If the Panthers organization does their homework on him and believe he's the back of the future then by all means.

His player comparison on the NFL page is Edgerrin James ...

I wouldnt take him unless it was like the 5th round. There's multiple reports out there that say he's a gang banger with a drinking problem. I'd say he's completely off the Panthers board.

If this is true I guess I'd agree . But right now its hearsay unless there's credible sources for that news.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Everyone knew the catch was secured and didn't move. That was clear to the entire audience. The only ones who thought it wasn't a catch were in the NYC home office. They knew they'd just offer an apology the next day.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
