Shareece Wright is widely though to be drafted somewhere near the top of the 3rd round.

Panthers also meet with Taiwan Jones, RB - Eastern Washington

Jones ran a 4.35, 40-yd dash at his pro day, and is expected to be drafted in the 4th round.

Seems like the panthers are covering all their bases. Preparing for life without DWill and Marshall.

Maybe Brandon Burton, Utah, could be a possibility.

I'm hoping for a great player to fall to the top pick in the third (Rudolph from Notre Dame, maybe?), but it's super hard to project who is going to be there after two rounds.

carolina loves physical tackle breaking backs....

[C47]

Shareece would be a good addition as long as it's with our compensatory selection in the third. If we're talking about first pick in the third then no way that's too high for Reece....I would much rather have Ras-I-Dowling or Brandon Burton that spot...

man do i love Taiwan Jones if we were not so stacked at running back i would be bitching more but the kid is a player and is going to a major steal for someone in the chris johnson mold of course not as talented....that said i like derrick locke a little bit more

[firstdayfan]

Dowling will go in the second and Van Dyke is more of a late 3rd early 4th.

[Mr. Scot]

As I recall, that's the guy Andrew Luck ran over in that one highlight :lol:

(not that it means anything negative on him)

[Lout]

Thanks for that video. It looks like Taiwan created his most of his own yardage by breaking tackles.

Ras-I Dowling's stock is somewhat on the rise, he is viewed as a surefire mid-2nd round pick. I'd be surprised if he fell to us. Burton on the other hand, very well could be there at the top of the 3rd. Ras-I Dowling would fit Rivera's scheme perfectly because he is a bigger corner and can play the press.

if we don't take a DT with the 3rd round pick I'm gonna be pretty fuging mad.

[Darth Urious]

I doubt we see a RB in this draft unless DWill is gone, and CB either unless Gamble is gone...

Both could happen, but I just don't see it right now...

I agree, if there is a DT there at the top of the 3rd (that deserves the pick) then we need to take him, however, I do not want to reach too far either.

Shareece Wright could be available with our comp pick in the 3rd.. losing Marshall, we will need someone to play the nickel with Captain moving to Marshall's spot. I would not be mad at all.

[Taom82]

We need bodies at the CB position even if Marshall stays.
