I know that a lot of you guys dont really like "bleacher report", but not me.

 

2014 NFL Mock Draft: Projecting Ideal Selections for Every 1st-Round Team By

(Featured Columnist) on January 17, 2014

 

28. Carolina Panthers: Calvin Pryor, S, Louisville

Carolina's front seven masked a weak secondary this past season, but the 49ers were able to exploit it in the divisional round of the playoffs. Adding a do-it-all safety like Calvin Pryor out of Louisville would turn this weak unit into another strength for the Panthers.

I think late 1st round to very early 2nd is the range Pryor should go. Even with our offensive needs, it wouldn't surprise me if Gettleman would go BPA and end up with either WR, OT, TE, S, CB or even DE if Hardy is gone. I also wouldn't be surprised to see Pryor jump Clinton-Dix and pull an Eric Reid and go higher than predicted.

I really like Pryor and having been studying him for about the last two weeks. Here are my observations so far

 

1. Great build( I think he's bigger than 208). He's also a big hitter.  Duh...

2. Sure tackler, not just a big hit guy. When he gets ahold of you, you go down.

3. Excellent read and react player in the run game.  Finds a alley and fills it, doesn't get fooled often. 

4. Very good speed for a big guy. Is involved in almost every play(ie Rutgers), and can close on passes quick when he zeros in

5. My only concern would be coverage. He either lined up 20 yds deep or blitzed from the slot. From what I've seen he did well, but got "grabby" at times

 

Safety is about 4th on my list of needs , but I would still go to sleep happy day one based upon everything I've seen(still a while from the draft obviously) so far.

    • D Carr must have really disliked the saints to wait and do this announcement after the draft has passed if he made this call a few weeks before the draft sure they would have approached it and the offseason differently.  oh well will be interesting to see how their qbs perform.  would love to see them roll with Thill and just make the whole offense towards his skillset.  Although sadly would be only playing in about half the games with how often he gets injured. 
    • I have to say it's quite fascinating seeing you pivot from months and months of wailing and agonizing about threads derailing into Bryce Young slingfests only for you to turn around and do the same thing. And just for the record. Nobody in life ever attained wisdom and clarity from mistakes by having people blindly fawn over them and tell them they are above reproach and incapable of making mistakes. Our front office is just as human as we are. And based on the fact that front offices across the league outside of a handful of teams change on a fairly regular basis it's safe to say they are certainly no more infallible than the average Joe even though they possess significantly more knowledge usually. If you want a utopia where all you do is shine shoes for anyone associated with the Panthers you go right on ahead and create yourself a new community sir. More power to you.
    • I trust Morgan when it comes to LBs so I think Wallace will do well.
