The late round trend: Panthers picking athletes.

Edwards, Hardy Gettis, Pugh all picked for their physical skills.

Edwards is fast, quick, agile and tough for his size.

Hardy: Pep's body with injuries and even more questionable effort.

Gettis: Perfect WR body.

Pugh: Fastest CB in draft with great leaping ability. Can't tackle for toffee. The anti-Munnerlyn. I suspect we'll put them in some kind of device to meld them into a HoF CB.

All high risk high reward.

I don't think late round selections count as "high risk." It could just be me but 5th round and later (especially compensation) picks just don't quite fit that description.

Im really loving our draft. I love all of our picks. We picked up a #2 and #3 QB, 3 WRs (1 who can return kickoffs), a DE, OLB, and CB (who can return punts). We have filled some needs and still have a couple more picks to go!

By high risk I mean higher chance of being off the roster next year compared to our normal OL/FB/TE picks this time of the draft. Just a higher chance of boom and a higher chance of bust.
