My New 2012 NFL Mock Draft


FDN

Recommended Posts

I enjoyed reading it. I really wish there was a quality DT in this draft we could snag, I think it's a much bigger need than CB at this point.

Not too sure about DT being a bigger need than CB. We are in dire need of 2nd CB. We have rookie DTs who will benefit from playing so much their rookie season and Edwards.

As far as the draft goes, I don't like Krikpatrick. Not that great cover corner. Really wish if Claiborne is gone we go OT, DT, or trade down.

For me it's been that way since the beginning of the season.

Munnerlyn is good for ST coverage though.

That's the reason I'd like to see us get Claiborne.

It moves Butler to the nickel, and Captain to a dedicated Special Teams player, where he could honestly be a Team Captain (no pun intended). He could be another Karl Hankton for us.

Btw, didn't Kalil just say that he isn't declaring?

(9:00 PM): SC OT denies earlier report about leaning toward staying in school ... Southern California junior LT Matt Kalil has denied published reports earlier today that he is leaning strongly toward returning for his senior season next fall. Kalil, who is currently being projected as the top OT in the 2012 draft and a possible top 5 pick were he to declare for this year’s draft, says he is still gathering information and exploring his options.

I updated the draft order based for week 14, assuming St. Louis loses tonight, you guys will be tied with Jacksonville for the 5th pick with identical SoS's. That would be interesting if the season ended that way, two teams with a high pick and similar needs. That would be one intense coin flip!

    • I've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.

    • No they are going to give Claudin Cherelus 2 spots.
