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...

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-)

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....

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.

      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

      By MHS831 · Posted

      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.
