Keep in mind what most analysts are saying our biggest needs are.... so from a outsiders perspective and even some of our perspectives this is what we need.. However, at #9 we need to know exactly what we are getting, and with a redshirt SO, and two dudes with off the field issues, more conversations are mostly likely warranted.

I really want to like Brockers, but for some reason I just don't that much. He seems like a bust waiting to happen. I wish I didn't feel that way but I just can't shake this feeling that we should pick someone else.

I'm beginning to really like Janoris Jenkins, though. I think he has Revis potential and if he's serious about staying out of trouble then there's no reason we shouldn't take him. He's hands down the best cover guy in this draft. Imagine having our own Nnamdi/Revis OPPOSITE Chris Gamble. I really believe Jenkins has that potential.

These three players are the 3 in our oicking range who have the most questions to answer. This is not to say that high character guys, or guys with more tape, are not still on the radar. I expect Reiff, DeCastro, Ingram, Coples, Martin, and maybe even upshaw are still on the Panthers' list.

This about Brockers:

Brockers created a buzz Saturday when he was measured at 6 feet, 5 inches and 322 pounds, with a huge 83 7/8-inch wingspan. Brockers said he is up five pounds since LSU's season ended with a loss to Alabama in the BCS title game.

      Shaq Thompson Remains a Free Agent

      Torn achilles.  The reason he was out more than half of last season.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      When the panthers are bad, we sell a shockingly low number of jerseys, and options become limited. In the good years, we had a lot of different options. I think T-Mac is going to have to play well on the field for his jersey to get produced in the FUSE template.

      Panthers sign Hunter Renfrow

      By CRA · Posted

      it's not the only way to be a threat, it's certainly important for certain roles in an offense and for certain type players and offenses.  as is the ability to get open quickly and generate easy throws.   as far as Renfrow goes, I have consistently said he is sort of his own thing and not really in comp w/ others here.  It's a niche role/job.  Anyone talking about something else from him isn't me.  Just depends if we want to do what he does and if he can still do it.  as far as AT goes, yeah, he does lower our ceiling given the % of our offense that goes through him and his limitations at this stage in his career.    He should be a roleplayer, much like Renfrow should be if we want to insert what he does into the O....not an O being run through him.    Renfrow isn't going to lower the ceiling if used correctly.  Niche assignments to move chains.   It's like a short yardage RB that comes in to pick a random play.  Renfrow is best at that 3rd and 4 type scenario IMO. AT lowers the ceiling because we build the pass game off an old WR that shouldn't be the focal point of a pass attack.  Not to mention, Bryce Young is practically tailor made to get the ball in the hands of YAC players.   So you need those type on the field.
