Round 5: The Carolina Panthers select S Zakee Wheatley (Penn State)

[Jackie Lee]

I like this guy, center fielder we've needed but not afraid to get in the box and hit someone, and can put on another 10-15 pounds and still play his style

Good luck to him. Hope to see him out there breaking up passes and causing problems for offenses. Welcome aboard man, we need ya.

Still can’t figure out how he fell to round 5 aside from it just being a loaded safety class.

Most of the time it come down to scheme fit. He fits EE's system perfectly and we were lucky he fell to us.

Kilgore was there too, I expected that group to be gone by late 3rd/early 4th

In all fairness, my neighbor's Labradoodle is probably a better safety than Nick Scott

No before that. The international player they discussed that it seems like we brought in from what they were saying. Sounded like Mozz.

I assume its this guy but Kaye insisted on using a nickname most people would not know.

he fell because he ran a 4.62. I'm EXCITED about the potential here. This kid has crazy instincts
