Draft Rumors from Walterfootball.com

[firstdayfan]

Just wanted to share a rumor today I saw on walterfootball.com. I know some people don't like this site but this guy knows someone in the Panther's org bc last year he called them not selecting a DT leading up to the draft. He even mentioned that they would not select one and they didn't even though everyone had Fletcher Cox mocked to us.

So take it with a grain of salt.

Here's the link:

Here's what was said:

"April 9: Sheldon Richardson and Xavier Rhodes are the favorites to go No. 14 to the Panthers, but Tavon Austin and Kenny Vaccaro are also in play. - Panthers source"

If you go by the list of players we have met with or are scheduled to meet with, Austin is the only guy.

williams in the second and warmack/cooper in the first

yeah but if you go to CBS.com they all have us taking sheldon richardson so just ignore that

I'd be happy with both. Honestly we have so many holes that I'll be happy with anyone.

but we have yet to meet with 3 of those guys, so the next 2 weeks should be interesting.

We didn't make a visit with Barron last year. I'm just saying.

This is going to only get better. Very exciting.

This seems to be a popular opinion with the anti-Richardson crowd (in particular), but the reality is that we have no idea whether or not we have met with the other guys. We only know what the media tells us, and they only know what they have been told (usually by the agents). Not every meeting is advertised. Also we surely met with them at the combine, and I am sure we attended their pro days. So it isn't like we have ignored them, even if we haven't had a formal meeting...yet. Not to mention that the biggest part is the scouting and research that the team does.
