ESPN Mock 3.0 We got Cyrus Kouandjio

[Keep Steve]

Analysis: There were some concerns about his medicals at the combine, but Kouandjio is going to come in healthy and ready to contribute. And it's worth remembering that he won't turn 21 until after the draft. While Kouandjio has a high ceiling, he's not merely a physical talent who could develop -- this is a kid who was battering SEC defensive linemen at the age of 19. If the health is there, so is the ceiling. It's a good bet for the Panthers at this point.

 

 

I think it had Carolina taking Benjamin before.  It has him going to the Browns at 26 now.  I don't mind this.

[MadHatter]

If the health checks out and he is there.....I think it would be the pick.

 

Gett loves big guys...and we have no one to replace Gross.

[PantherWake]

WR needs>Oline needs

Jeff Otah 2.0

WR needs>Oline needs

 

Are you high?

 

LT is the second most important position on the team....and we have NO ONE to play it.

 

LT is by far the biggest area of need.

I do not like him with the expectations of starting at LT.

[therealmjl]

He and Stewart would develop a great repertoire.

[MadHatter]

Jeff Otah 2.0

This would be my big fear about him.

[Servant of Cthululelei]

He and Stewart would develop a great repertoire.

 

Uh-oh.  You mentioned Stewart.  Prepare to be flamed.

Thats one player. We have no receivers that have caught one ball from Cam.

[Jackofalltrades]

Otah v 2

[MadHatter]

Thats one player. We have no receivers that have caught one ball from Cam.

 

We could add a couple of guys Cotchery and draft a 2-3 round guy and be OK at WR....not great, but OK.

 

LT is a huge problem with nothing in FA and nothing on the roster that resembles a good starting LT.

 

However, I don't think Cyrus' health concerns will be erased and I don't see another top LT falling.  So, that being said I absolutely see either WR or CB in the first....with my money on WR.

[Fox007]

Jeff Otah 2.0

 

 

This....seriously this guy is Jeff Otah the second coming...steer clear from CK...

 

If we drafted this dood I'd be nuts especially depending on which WR is there at the time....

 

We can literally get almost as good as CK's "ceiling" in the 3rd round this year at OT....don't want

[Ken]

We need an LT, even more than a WR but I feel like Cyrus is a gamble and one we can't afford to make.

Now if our team doctors check him out and he's fine, then i might be on board with it.
