What do you guys think?

Minnesota is the real pivot point at three which sucks because it’s so early. Sounds like they’re considering three options but we went with Claiborne because I trust Schefter over anyone else. But if they go Kalil or dare I even say it, Blackmon, it throws everything off.

A few surprise picks, I know. But the NFL Draft is always a surprise. Overall thoughts?

Panthers WILL NOT pass up Blackmon. There are two offensive guys who if somehow there at #9 it will likely take less than a minute to get the card in. Matt Kalil is one, and the other is Justin Blackmon. Blackmon WILL be the pick if your scenario plays out...

This draft after the first 10 looks pretty different from conventional wisdom at a number of spots. It will; be interesting to see which version plays out closer. of course there are likely to some trade ups which most mocks haven't figured into the mix.

I hope to God we do not draft Blackmon in the top 10.

Doesnt have elite size or speed. He is no Calvin, Andre or Fitz.

Defense please.

Blackmon = smokescreen

How is a 4.45 not elite speed???

Eh, not a huge fan.

I like Kuechly, Still, and Menzie. The others I'm not a huge fan of or I feel liked we reached especially on McNutt who is in most Panther fans mock drafts that I have seen in the sixth round.

I've done this before, so I will grade you pick by pick.

1. Luke Kuechly, LB, Boston College (B+): I like the pick, but I think if you are going to take a player in the top ten he needs to be a starter right away and Kuechly wouldn't start over Davis or Anderson.

2. Devon Still, DT, Penn State (A+): Great pick, the Panthers get good value in the second round at a position of need in a player that was once projected to go in the top fifteen picks.

3. None

4. Ron Brooks, CB, LSU (D+): I'm not a big fan of 5-10 corner unless they play bigger than their small frame, much bigger (i.e. Janoris Jenkins). The Panthers already have to good nickel backs in Munnerlyn and Butler, it's time to add a starter.

5. Marvin McNutt (C-): I see this as a slight reach because he should still be there in the sixth for our first pick. Player wise, it is a pretty good pick so I gave you the benefit of the doubt.

6. Julian Miller, DE, WVU (F): This is a pretty decent reach for a guy that is projected by some to go undrafted. I definitely don't like this pick.

6. Jaymes Brooks, OG, Virginia Tech (D+): This another reach to me, I don't see Brooks getting drafted unless it's late in the seventh.

7. DeQuan Menzie, CB, Alabama (A+): If you can make a guy fall to us in the seventh that has a fourth to fifth round grade then I will gladly take it.

Overall Grade: (C-)

How is a 4.45 not elite speed???

He runs a 4.48 - 4.49 which is essentially 4.5

Elite speed is 4.2 - 4.3

Good speed - 4.4

Average speed 4.5

[C47]

He runs a 4.48 - 4.49 which is essentially 4.5

Elite speed is 4.2 - 4.3

Good speed - 4.4

Average speed 4.5

He ran a between a 4.45 and 4.5 his first attempt, and his second was between 4.41 and 4.46. So no, he's not a 4.5 guy....

By your standards about three guys have ELITE speed then. Blackmon won't be the fastest receiver in the NFL by far, but his speed will never be an issue....
