Lets see your sleepers of 2011 draft prospects. For the sake of this lets say 3rd round or later. I'm not picking a guy from every position because I only scouted the positions I thought we needed (aside from Lewis I just really liked him).

QB: Ricky Stanzi - Iowa (5th)

RB: Dion Lewis - Pitt (5th)

TE: Jordan Cameron - USC (3rd)

WR1: Leonard Hankerson - Miami (3rd)

WR2: Kealoha Pilares - Hawaii (5th)

T: Lee Zemba (RT) - Auburn (7th)

G: Clint Boling - GA (4th)

DT: Shione Fua - Standford (3rd)

CB: Buster Skrine - Tenn-Chattanooga (5th)

As you can tell I really was pleased with our draft. I think we got a couple of really good sleepers. I would have gone Hankerson instead of McClain and Virgil Green instead of Williams but outside of that I really wouldn't have changed a pick.

Vincent Brown Jr - WR - San Diego State U (3rd - Chargers)

"Brown, 5-11, 187 pounds, was the 10th wide receiver selected in the draft. Known for his sure hands and polished route-running, he impressed several teams during Senior Bowl practices. But some questions arose about his speed when he ran subpar times in the 40-yard dash during the NFL Combine."

Paired with Rivers, he could explode as a possession WR.

Jordan Cameron is my choice. However, I feel the same about Dion Lewis and think that he will be a stud. Watching him play, he has great moves and just natural running talent. I was surprised he dropped that far.

Well he's only 5'6.5" so that definitely hurt him but that is the exact height of MJD and he is a stud. He will be a beast IMO.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
