Today is the East/West Shrine game. 3pm on ESPN2. This is where our scouting team makes their money. 1st and 2nd round (though we haven't done so well in the 2nd round) players are usually no brainers but 3rd round and beyond is were championships are won. I think we have done well over the years with these picks.

Here are a few links to the game. This one has the rosters.

The second one has an article about prospects that are doing well in practice. Freddie Barnes WR Bowling Green I like the part about being able to seperate.

I am also going to watch John Skelton QB Fordham.

Interesting player 6'5" kinda like Joe Flacco.

Interesting comments from the week.

"Fordham's John Skelton, though struggling with accuracy, was the most physically impressive and threw with velocity the others couldn't."

"The more I watch Fordham quarterback John Skelton, the more I become a fan of his game. There’s no denying his physical skill -- he has the strongest arm down here by far, effortlessly spinning throws outside the numbers with impressive overall zip. However, the game finally looks to be slowing down a bit for him, as he seemed more comfortable during 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills Wednesday and even led an impressive two-minute drill at the end of practice. He’s still a long way away and, like any strong-armed passer, he gets sloppy with his footwork and trusts his arm too much at times. But the fact that he’s made some strides this week makes me think there’s some significant long-term upside to his game."

These are the players we hope to find.

Go Panthers

ill be watching 2 WR's in this game and a few other players. Verran Tucker and Freddie Barnes. also, I couldnt help but notice, Sam Mills JR is coaching the ST for the east. couldnt he be the quality control-defense and coach special teams?
i was wondering the same thing. only sam mills was sam mills, jr. our sam mills coach is sam mills III.

very interesting, though.

      I think you've nailed what we need right here.  Rodriguez and Thieneman would be my choices, Thieneman in the first and Rodriguez in the second. Let everyone else eat up their picks on the crop of WRs and linemen. Then make a push in free agency for the top center.

      Vernon Gholston vibes?  had 14 sacks at Ohio State in 2007; 45 games in the NFL:  0 sacks.

      I want a high impact player, but a true FS who could qb the secondary might be more effective than we realize.  I don't think Moehrig is that guy (I think he is overpaid, however).  I want a flashy, high impact player, but we could use defensive qbs at ILB  and FS.  By upgrading skill AND adding vision and leadership, could we get better than if we added an edge or OT? I am not sure that I believe this myself, but I try to look at things from all perspectives.  Here is some devil's advocacy stuff: 1. EDGE-We are freaking out about the pressure we put on the qb from the edge position.  However, Jones II and Wonnum missed a total of 22 games. Scourton was a rookie and Princely was a third rounder.  Wharton sucked (not sure if he was used properly--a hybrid who can rush from the 5 tech or 3, etc), and this put more pressure on Scourton and the other edge players.  This year, we get Jones II, Scourton should continue to evolve with Princely.  Perhaps another rookie is not what we need.  Maybe a veteran situational pass rusher.  2. OFFENSIVE TACKLE:  Of course, we need an OT, but the draft is loaded with OTs that can pass block but struggle in run blocking--so a rookie at LT might not be the answer for a team that wants to run first.  What to do?  I am not sure.  I see Nijman returning after testing the market, but who knows? 3.  INSIDE LB:  A huge need, regardless of how you spin it.  However, I see a few free agents who would be solid here, and I see the second round having a few ILBs with starting potential.  I do not see an ILB worth the first round pick unless a freak falls to us. 4.  With veteran defensive backs, a young, intelligent FS could fit in nicely. Intelligence is key--like the way Luke made the front 7 better. "A good, intelligent free safety (FS) acts as the "quarterback of the defense" transforming a unit from good to great by acting as the last line of defense, communicating pre-snap adjustments, and anticipating plays before they happen. By reading the quarterback's eyes and diagnosing offensive schemes, an intelligent FS acts as a "centerfielder" who can neutralize deep threats and mitigate errors made by cornerbacks or linebackers."
