Injury history concerns me also as well as the mediocre results with former NC State players, all due respect to Wolfpack fans. Personally, I’d go with Edgerrin Cooper out of Texas A&M. Instinctual MLB that’s a heat seeking missile on blitzes and has good coverage skills. Would be a good complement with Jewell and eventual replacement for Shaq.

the (bad) luck we've had with perpetually injured players over the years has e hitting the brakes with this one. i love the potential havoc he can bring. i hate the potential to get and stay hurt.

Yeah unless he drops to the later rounds we can't afford the risk associated with him.

Wilson is intriguing and I do love my Wolfpack but I worry with the way jury history. 

Yes, you should.  He is a stud, but even in that photo, he is wearing a shoulder brace.  for a LB, a shoulder problem can be devastating.

2 things

1 - Panthers should just take him off their board because of injury.  Good player.  Too much damage already to his body IMO to come in and play ILB. 

2. let's stay away from NC State guys for a minute.  We haven't been exactly hitting homeruns there (no offense State fans).

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.

      From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"

      Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
