Stirs Pre Combine Draft(the wait is over)

[stirs]

Most trade downs have no scenarios listed, not here.

With the 8th pick, the Panthers trade with their old trading partner, the NY Jets.

The Jets need for RT is huge and so it is for their in division rivals, the Dolphins.

The Jets move up to take Rieff.

The Jets trade up to 8 and get the Panthers 6th rounder. The Panthers get the 16th pick and the 47th in the second round.

1st Brockers DT LSU- Panthers feel better about taking Brockers here than at 8 position and add another guy in the rotation for the coming season.

With Edwards returning, the rotation should be much improved.

2nd Leonard Johnson CB Iowa St--probably end up as the third best CB after the combine.

2nd Kelechi Osemele OT Iowa St--Big, good athlete, can play RT or move inside and play G. The versatility and athleticism are just what we need.

4th Aaron Henry S Wisconsin--Good size, great against the run, can fill in nicely if one of our guys go down or just suck outright.

5th DeAngelo Peterson TE LSU At 237 lbs, he will give Chud a new wrinkle at the TE position. With Shockey most likely not returning, there will be a need for a guy like this to open a whole new set of plays at the position.

7th Tyler Nielson OLB Iowa Backup with good size and great speed who will learn our attacking defense and be able to fill in nicely also if needed.

interesting trade scenario. i could actually see that one happening. for originality.

interesting CB pick. don't know a whole lot about that guy. will look, though.

i like osemele there. not sure if he'd slide that far but i won't argue that.

the TE pick is a head scratcher, but it's a 5th round pick so...i'd just rather us use those late rounders on STs guys. not a big deal, though.

decent mock.

[koolkatluke]

Waited to late to get a OLB. IMO

[SOJA]

are you from Iowa?

[iskassim06]

Brockers there at 16 is too much wishful thinking..just saying. Not a fan of the mock but who cares what I think.

[BeasonBeastingBacks]

I would be okay with this draft

supposedly Peterson turned some heads at the Senior Bowl, could be interesting to see him in this offense.

[CarolinaNCSU]

I would like the trade, but not that big a fan of the players picked. Granted, some of my initial thoughts are just ignorance I'm sure.

Leonard Johnson shut down Blackmon vs. OKST.

Leonard Johnson shut down Blackmon vs. OKST.

Would not say he shut him down, but Blackmon said he was the best corner he had faced all year.

[carpanfan96]

Leonard looked really good at the senior bowl and moved his stock up a bit while he was there.

[stirs]

Cannot wait till the combine.

[Herbert The Love Bug]

pootie draft

[rayzor]

^^^because you still don't understand.

Leonard looked really good at the senior bowl and moved his stock up a bit while he was there.

With Dennard dropping into the second and Kirkpatrick possibly moving to Safety, according to Mayock, Leonards stock is indeed moving up.
