Thank you for your welcome :)

Bienvenue à Le Huddle

Like the picks except for the 4th rounder. I Don't think we'll take a TE in this draft, unless it is someone like Fleener/Allen.

[Ruff]

That's actually a really, really good mock draft. Good job!

I do like the TE pick, if Rivera and Co don't think Barnidge will do a decent job.

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

I like it...Kuechly goes to Boston College though.

[Kuech the Sneak]

Rather have a d-lineman in the 4th instead of the TE

Oh yes, it's big error from me... is corrected, thanks.

I aslo think is important but if Shockey no re-sign, it's important to gives arms to Cam.

As regards DE we have Johnson, Hardy, Applewhite, Keiser plus Tucker, it's not so bad and I have high hopes in Keiser.

DT is more important but there are the return of Edwards, and the last year we spent 2 third rounds in this position...

And again sorry for my bad english.

There is still much work lol

Nice! Welcome!

Thanks, but in Europe and in France, there are "fans" of the latest winner of the Superbowl... And Carolina it is less sexy than New-York... I think it is the same in US for the soccer, you have many fans of big teams like Manchester United, Arsenal...

Today I explain the choice of my mock draft.

[Chris Smitty]

1st: Luke Kuechly is the best linebacker of this draft class and is an excellent tackler. Rare are the seasons when the Panthers play with their three linebackers and Kuechly would be a great addition to the defensive squad that was in trouble this season.

2nd: Trumaine Johnson reinforce the position of cornerback who is one of the biggest weak of the team in 2011. It would be surprising no to see Rivera take a CB whit one of the first two rounds, escpecially since no CB was recruiting during free agency.

4th: Ladarius Green: WHAT ? A thight-end in the fourth round ? Yes because Shockey still not re-signed. And TE is very important in offense today. With Olsen, Barnidge and now Green we have a fantastics TE for help developpement of Cam Newton.

5th: Terrell Manning, apart from his speed, it's ability to use his athletism to get ride of the blocks at an impressive pace for his size. With injury Thomas Davis history could be starter quickly.

6th: Ryan Miller, Protect Cam Newton is the priority number one, and it begins with improving the depth chart and Miller has the physical after realizing excellent things in Boulder.

6th: T.J. Graham a receiver very, very fast, a native of Raleigh will be used in returns primarily and more specifically on punt returns instead of the superstar Armanti Edwards...

7th: Shawn Powell, a punter is necessary since Baker is cut. Powell is welciome at Charlotte after excellent seasons at FSU
