Might as well jump in and make a rough draft. Keep in mind I do not believe we'll be picking at #2 when it's all said and done. But we might very well still be top 5.

1st: Morris Claiborne, CB, LSU

Claiborne is looking like a future shutdown corner. Pairing him up with Gamble can give us a top CB tandem to team up against the NFC South and the rest of the passing league. They can also help the DL pick up some coverage sacks.

2nd: LaVonte David, OLB, Nebraska

A bit undersized but is very instinctive. David is an all around LB that is capable of starting in the NFL. With Thomas Davis returning next year, David will be a great LB waiting in the wings.

4th: Matt Reynolds, OT/OG, BYU

Otah is always injured and no one knows how Schwartz will return from injury. Reynolds is great depth to play inside and at the ends of the line. He is a solid pass and run blocker.

5th: Emmanuel Acho, LB, Texas

I'm picking Acho here for depth purposes. Connor might be looking for a starting gig and Acho can backup Beason at MLB. Plays strong despite his smaller frame. Acho can play faster because of his instincts. Reliable open field tackler to help on special teams.

6th: Ryan Broyles, WR, Oklahoma

Tore his ACL so his stock will take a tumble and probably won't contribute much in 2012. But, Broyles is a dynamic receiver with the chance of being elite in the slot. He is also a very good punt returner.

7th: Drew Butler, Punter, Georgia

Butler has a solid leg and a knack to down the ball inside the 20. Can let us cut ties with Baker and maybe save some cap space.

I didn't select a DT because i rather that position be filled with a seasoned vet. Thoughts?

Broyles will be gone LONG before the 6th. He still might not make it out of the first.

I'm not sure about that, I doubt he goes in the first round when you have Jefferies, Blackmon, Floyd, Jones, Sanu, Fuller and Toon with 1st - 2nd round grades and are healthy. I expect him to be taken in the third though, possibly the second round similar to how the Bucs took a chance on Bowers.

Broyles was a high 2nd round pick before the injury. He will (at most) be a 3rd round pick. he will not be able to contribute his rookie season basically.. he is in a similar situation as Hogan.. but someone will take a flyer on him in the 4th probably.

Saw a mock today that had him going late in the first. With the success of Smith and D Jackson in Philly I bet he goes pretty high despite the injury.

I saw that mock too, but it had not been updated in a couple months. Not sure if its the same mock.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By CanadianCat · Posted

      I also didnt think that Tepper was too involved. I think he liked to be engaged in the process but never did he seem to influence anything.  If Im an owner Im in the draft room as well. Hell I get excited about draft season in Madden if I can do it in real life....

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      I realize it about the expectations, but on paper, we drafted players who would have a chance to compete at positions where any could realistically step in and take the job---Freeling?  Yup.  Hunter?  Yup.  Brazzell?  Yup.  It is likely that all three see the field early and often.  Day 3:  Lee?  I see him as the #3 CB and the job is his when they are ready for him--and it is his to lose.  Hecht?  I loved him in mock research and called him the best C in the draft.  He might play a year behind Fortson or he could take the job--regardless, he is the obvious front runner for the 2027 season.  Wheatley?  I see Ransom and Moehrig as basically the same "in the box" type S.  If Wheatley can learn for a season behind Scott, he has the tools to be a serviceable FS, something this team needs.  Finally, Kuwatch seemed to be a PS pick, and he could be--but to win the 4th ILB job, he needs to beat out Bam Morris-Scott and with a 46.5 vertical (I can't do that on the triple jump) and a superior RAS rating, he looks like a special teamer and depth piece.....I forgot about Morgan's comment about giving up the 5th--probably to get ahead of Detroit.  Freeling has the athleticism and the tools to be the best OT in this draft.  The others lacked arm length or something like that--Freeling simply lacks a ton of experience.
