Round 1: Stephon Gilmore, CB, South Carolina

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2IjKOwUrUI

In the pre-draft press conference this week Coach Rivera said he wanted player that could start

immediately and Gilmore is exactly that player. He has the ideal combination of size and speed

along with long arms. He is terrific in run defense and isn’t afraid to make a hit at the line of

scrimmage. He led the Gamecocks in 2010 in tackles. He is great in zone coverage and press

coverage and is athletic enough to hold his own in man to man. He can immediately start on the

outside and allow Munnerlyn to shift back to the inside where he excels.

Round 2: Devon Still, DT, Penn State

Arguably the most “NFL-ready” of the senior defensive tackles in this years draft, Devon Still

could be another player that immediately jumps into the starting rotation on our line. He is great

against the run due to his ability to get off blocks and fill the run lanes. He can do the same when

rushing the passer but his lack of closing speed and explosiveness leads him to have very few

sacks.

Round 4: Jared Crick, DT/DE, Nebraska

Crick is a versatile and athletic lineman who can play all the positions along the defensive line.

He’s got a huge motor and has sacked the quarterback on pure effort alone. He had a monster

junior year playing next to Suh, and may struggle to get off blocks on his own. He can make an

immediate impact rotating in at DT or spelling our DEs.

Round 5: Danny Trevathan, LB, Kentucky

Trevathan is a pure tackling machine, leading the SEC in tackles the past two years. He is always

around the ball because of his good instincts. He’s an average athlete and could struggle in

coverage at the next level. At minimum he’d make a fantastic special teams player and a good

back up for any of the LB positions.

Round 6a: James Carmon, OT, Mississippi State

James-Carmon-200.jpg

A converted defensive tackle, he has all the size and athletic ability to be a good OT in this

league with the proper coaching on technique. He is a monster at 6’7” and has unreal strength. At

worst, he will be a solid back up. He could be an eventual replacement for any of our linemen.

Round 6b: George Bryan, TE, NC State

813542.jpg

An NFL caliber "on the line Y", he isn't a dynamic pass catching option but has the ability to

make plays underneath and at least threaten the seam and can develop into a great run blocker.

Isn't quite dynamic enough to start in the NFL, but could end up being one of the better reserves

at the position on the next level

Round 7: Greg McCoy, CB, TCU

542232.jpg

Not overly good in coverage, he would be a serviceable backup at best. His real value is as a kick

returner and special teams player.

I actually really like this draft. Fill 2 needs, with two very talented players... I would change the 4th round player.... We already ahve a bunch of DT's and a bunch of DT's..... People for depth here are not exactly what we are looking for.... I would find something else.

Not sure why everyone is hating on Gilmore. Fact is he is a top 15 talent and fills the biggest need we have on the team. I would not really consider this a reach. If you get Still in the 2nd you probably have 2 defensive starters come September. This is not a bad draft at all. I don't think Crick is there in the 4th so I would take Terrel Manning or a return guy then take a punter in the 7th instead of the cbbut this is a pretty good draft weekend if they come out with this kind of talent

Definitely could see it happening like this. Even if Still's not there at 40, which he probably will be, we could get Kendall Reyes.

The only thing I don't like no Punter (I think we're getting either Butler or Anger), and Crick won't be there in the 4th. If you changed that to Joe Adams, Terrell Manning, or Keenan Robinson, it would be very close to what I see happening.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      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.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      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.
