Panthers Claim CB James Dockery off Waivers

All I know is he was an udfa last year on the browns. Yay.

Our CB this season consists of: a former 7th round midget, a bullethead 5th(?) claimed from the cowboys last year, a 5th round rookie, and an UDFA browns outcast.

That inspires confidence!

I think you left out the UDFA from Seattle we picked up earlier (Parker).

That being said, I'm confident in he top 3 for the most part.

To be fair, I'm not sure there is much to pick from in the middle of the season.

Very very true. I still can't believe this is what it's come down to. Hurney was fired for a myriad of reasons, but this is such a great example. After Gamble, there is no one that would be a starter on any other team in this league. We just ignored CB in FA all together. I'm not advocating breaking the bank for a finnegan, but Jesus there were some 2nd tier guys available.

There will be the mistakes we can expect from a ragtag group of corners, but for the most part you're right. I would say I'm confident in them as much as they can "get by". Norman is developing quite well and Bullethead looked decent at times out there vs the 'boys. Cap should stay in slot.

How could I leave out THE Bob Parker?!

2011 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:

James Dockery, CB, Oregon State

James Dockery had a slow start to his collegiate career at Oregon State. The 6-1 cornerback was highly regarded coming out of high school and was expected to make a pretty big splash in the Beaver secondary sooner rather than later. However, he had to bide his time and wait behind some pretty talented players. After redshirting in 2006, Dockery saw limited action in 2007. The following season was supposed to be when Dockery stepped into a starting role, but an injury sidelined him for the entire year.

Dockery finally got his chance in 2009 and he made the most of it. Dockery was the lone player in the secondary that started all 13 games. Dockery started to show that he could be the strong corner that everybody expected him to be. The 2010 season went even better for Dockery. Again Dockery started every game and this time he tallied 56 tackles and four interceptions. Dockery had a knack for making big plays in 2010 as two of his four interceptions clinched victories for OSU late in the game.

Dockery is relatively quick and has decent instincts, but his measurables will not blow away any NFL teams. Oregon State's inconsistent and disappointing 2010 season has not helped Dockery's draft stock either and he is likely a late round selection at this point.

Crazy thought, I know, but let's actually see him play for our team before passing judgment on the guy. Keep in mind that Bell was an UDFA too. Might be a decent pickup for us... not holding my breath by any means, considering when we've claimed him, but personally, I won't hold his draft placement or where he's from against him. I'll let his play dictate my decision, provided he even gets to see the field this season.

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
