Draft Crushes


Recommended Posts

I've looked at a lot of drafts over the past couple months and while the first round is predictably spread among a few prospects, I've noticed that the latter rounds also have many of the same players. Wanted to dedicate this thread to the Panther mock draft wonders. Some will be studs and others will be duds. Here goes. I have sporadic comments. Have fun ripping;

1. Joe Adams - this guy is everyones fourth round pick. He looked invincible in the runback against Tennessee about what it

seems a decade ago. He has achieved mythical status on this board since then.

2. Brian Quick - Heir apparent to the do nothing in the NFL Armanti thrown

3. Vontaze Burfict - Headcase with headlines.

4. The 6th round punter from Georgia. I admit his Jr high school brother is better than Baker.

5. Terrell Manning - local love

6. The white guy that ran very fast - do I need to say more?

Bobby Wagner

Keenan Robinson

Ryan Steed (CB Furman)

Juron Criner (AZ WR)

Crick - coming of an injury ridden season but was awesome the year prior...great size also....could slide to the 4th)

Brandon Taylor (S LSU) - highly underrated this draft season

Janoris Jenkins - Best cover corner in draft. I feel like I am one of the very few that thinks he's contrite in turning his life around. His past year is a sign of him maturing.

Bobby Wagner - Very versatile LB that can play inside or out. There are some tweeners out there but that's because they are stuck between two positions. Wagner can play ILB and OLB equally well.

Orson Charles - TE that would be perfect for our offense. They liked to line him off the line something that tan slates well to our offense. But that's not to say he can't block.

AJ Jenkins - WR that you can put outside to utilize his quickness. But he also as the ability to find the weak spot over the middle. Favortie aspect of Jenkins is that he does a great job of catching the ball with his hands instead of his body.

I feel like Joe Adams does so much more than just return punts. He can run out of the backfield, he can line-up in the slot, he can play coverage, he can kick return, and he can punt return. He can honestly do it all.

Then whats the deal with his agent firing him? Somethings up with that kid.

He wasn't fired by his agent. That was the report out there but that was just one side of the story/rumor. It was a mutual part. Here is the article I posted in that other thread.

Got it. I had never heard of an agent firing his athlete, and coming from Jenkins I figured it there had to be something fishy going on.

The knocks that players get for smoking weed are ridiculous, this is coming from a medical marijuana patient though so it's kind of biased. I believe he deserves that 2nd chance much like Jimmy Smith last year. Though the thought of drafting him at #9 seems way too risky.

    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.  
    • Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.  
    • I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
