Josh Norris mocks Cyprien to us.

14. Panthers - S Johnathan Cyprien, FIU

By the time mid-March rolls around, I expect Cyprien to be a unanimous first-round projection. Sure, some will complain he is listed before Kenny Vaccaro and Matt Elam, but the FIU product has a real chance to be the best of the bunch. Reports surfaced after last year’s draft that the Panthers thought highly of Mark Barron, and although a new GM is in place, safety is one of the positions in need of an upgrade.

It's definitely interesting, to say the least.

Wouldn't take before Vaccaro. Cypriens bigger but Vaccarros quicker and a superior coverage man, and that's what counts in a Safety.

I've never heard of him, but I'll take him because his name sounds cool.

Haven't even seen this guy listed as a first rounder anywhere else. I think he likes to take shots in the dark every year.

I like Cyprien, but 14 is a bit high for him. If we were to draft a DB in the 1st I'd rather have Rhodes or Trufant.

Puke!!!!!!! Fu(king idiot!

The kid is very good but he's a second rounder. I would've love it if he had mocked him to us at 44.

[carolina-chuck]

If Cyprien is a second rounder then Vaccaro is a third rounder.

Cyprien is already going late in the first round.

Oh hell no you didn't !!!!! You did not just say something that stupid.

[carolina-chuck]

Sorry, never bought into the Vaccaro hypetrain. Call it stupid all you want but that doesn't take Kenny's average tackling skills away. He's not a ballhawking safety either. Vaccaro can't play the ball deep.

Vaccaro is overrated.

Don't talk to me ever anymore. I Dono what just happened there.

Thank you.....

Norris is probably the best draftnik out there IMO and all of you complaining about this pick go watch his film he's nasty

[rscott94]

Glad to see you around these parts.

Same to you.. I keep both sites up on the ol' laptop or phone best places to find Panthers info fast

Gotta agree with what's being said about Vaccaro. I'd deffinitely take Cyprien over Vaccaro.

If most people on here paid attention to more then just CBS or ESPN and actually paid attention to draft guys like Norris. They'd had seen that Cyprien has moved up to be similarly rated to Vaccaro. Once teams get to see Cyprien run and do drills and such with out a hamstring pull, he'll jump Vaccaro.

The reason, he'll jump him is because Cyprien does about everything better then Vaccaro while in pads on the field.

Edit: Heck even ESPN and CBS had stuff about Cyprien being closely rated to Vaccaro and having a chance to over take him as the #1 safety at the combine.
