Panthers 2009 NFL Draft Wrap-Up

[Easyt65]

2nd ROUND: 11(43) – Everette Brown, DE / Fla State

ANALYSIS: Our biggest concern with Brown is his size. You just don’t see many 6-1 players develop into effective 4-3 ends, and at 256 pounds he's going to have some problems anchoring against the run. That being said, he has the explosive first step to turn the corner and possesses excellent closing speed. He's also a fluid pass-rusher who will force offensive tackles to move their feet.

* Carolina gets 43rd Pick + 4th Rnd Pick / 49ers get Carolina’s 2010 1st Rnd Pick

2nd ROUND: 27(59) - Sherrod Martin, CB / Troy

ANALYSIS: Martin possesses excellent size at 6-1 and also has good ball skills and takes precise angles to the ball. However, some tightness in his hips along with inconsistency as an open-field tackler makes us believe this is a slight reach at this point. Martin is more suited to play safety in the NFL.

3RD ROUND: 29(93) - Corvey Irvin, DT / Georgia

ANALYSIS: Irvin lacks ideal starting experience and it shows on tape. He takes too long to locate the ball and he gets caught out of position frequently. The flip side of that is he could make great strides as he gains more experience. There's reason to be believe he will improve based on the progress he made last year.

4th ROUND: 11(111) – Mike Goodson, RB / Texas A&M

ANALYSIS: Goodson is one of the most intriguing midround backs in this year's draft. He shows the ability to stick his foot in the ground and make crisp cuts, and runs with above-average balance. While he doesn't have home-run hitting speed on film he does display a burst to rip off big gains. Goodson brings added value with his ability to be effective in the pass game.

* From 49ers

4th ROUND: 28(128) - Tony Fiammetta, FB / Syracuse

ANALYSIS: Best FB in the Draft - Fiammetta is our top-rated fullback due to his versatility. He's an effective lead blocker as well as a reliable receiving target out of the backfield.

5th ROUND: 27(163) - Duke Robinson, OG / Ok

ANALYSIS: Robinson possesses a massive frame and has the ability to engulf defenders when in proper position. While he excels as a run blocker, he needs some refining as a pass blocker in terms of maintaining balance and not overextending.

7th ROUND: 7(216) - Captain Munnerlyn, CB / Univ. of S.C.

ANALYSIS: ST / Kick-Return Potential

* From Oakland

I just want everyone to know that Tony is an amazing person wether you know him or not he will deliver! I played with him when I was younger he has a work ethic that is like no other he will pound anyone that steps in front of him and always give 110%! Just know he won't let you guys down and he will respect Hoover for being the fullback he is to learn from and hopefully eventually take that job and help bring the excitement to Carolina! Good luck Tony you put walkersville on the map!
