Patriots sign Panthers draft bust Terrell McClain

It’s only been a few weeks since former Panthers defensive tackle Terrell McClain was the highest-drafted member of the 2011 Draft class to be cut by the team that picked him (a titlesince stolen by former Eagles safety Jaiquawn Jarrett).

Today, McClain’s a Patriot.

The Patriots announced they signed McClain, and releasedMarcus Forston to make room for him on the roster.

McClain was the 65th overall pick a year ago out of South Florida, but fell out of favor in Carolina after an inconsistent offseason and training camp.

McClain showed some flashes of penetrating ability, but despite getting plenty of snaps for an injury depleted Panthers team in 2011, he quickly fell down the depth chart this year, and was replaced by former Bills defensive tackle Dwan Edwardson the roster and in the starting lineup.

    • I agree, unfortunately Styles is likely to be gone to the Cowboys at 12 if not sooner. 
    • This is what I was going to post.  If he doesn't go top 10, someone will trade up for him.  He is a difference maker. Wondering where the TE from Oregon is.  This is the first mock I've seen without him in the first round.  Would like the Panthers to upgrade that position and give our QB a security blanket on possession routes to complement what Tet and Jalen can do down the field. 
    • Proctor and Lomu still on the board at 19?  I don't think we have the luxury to pass on them after Icky's injury.  Anything other than a stud LT in the 1st round if they are still there is the wrong pick. Sure, Styles will be a great pick for anyone that gets him including us.  But for us, at what cost?  A great defense won't mean a hill of beans if Young is constantly running for his life.  Protecting Young should be our biggest priority.  If Icky had not been injured then Styles, Parker or Allen would have been fine with me.  In fact, with who was left I would have seriously considered taking calls to trade back 5 to 6 spots and gain draft capital.
