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.

    • Very True--and I am a former HS English teacher.  
    • Not a Moore fan-but he had a few good games last year-but I want players that scare you--Renfrow's route running and intelligence, Legette's size, speed, and strength, AT's intelligence and route running, Coker's body control, strong hands, and abilty to win contested catches, and TMac's size, body control, and ability to find soft spots in zone coverages.  Horn gives them the ability to stretch the field and he plays special teams.   Moore has a nice smile and can dance.  He filled in well last season, but to get better as a team, you have to upgrade your players.  I think Moore is a bottom of the roster guy who got bumped when we drafted 2 WRs and signed a legit free agent.  Here is the thing--TMac makes us better because he is great against the zone--man?  Good luck with that.  AT's role can be reduced, and that is probably a good thing.  He can specialize in situational football. Coker?  Just getting started. XL?  Just getting started.  Drafting TMac was probably a bit of a wake up call, but XL will be better as the 2. Renfrow?  I see him splitting reps with AT--keeping both fresh and giving different looks. Horn?  Watch the safety cheat his side when he is in the game--I see a young Steve Smith type in him, but he has yet to play a game.  I hear that Morgan loves him.
