The analysts---some esteemed, perhaps some not---of nfl.com and cbssports have spoken in their latest mock, and to me it's no surprise being this guy's dip and rise up the draft boards.  If that isn't hint enough, this guy has a kinda cool name.

 

A total of 5 out of 12 analysts have him as our top pick, with the next guy getting no more than 3.  Not surprisingly, all of the picks are composed of either WR or OL.

 

 

Without further ado: With the 28th pick in the 2014 NFL draft, the Carolina Panthers select:

He could be like Star last year. Fall because of health concerns and then come in and beast. Realistically i want either him or CB Fuller in the first round. Outside of that it depends on the best available (within reason). So what im saying is i wouldn't be terribly upset.

This pick would be so meh. All the 1st round oline talent will be gone by the time we pick.

 

Kouandjio is a first round talent, you know.  Not a sexy pick, but a good pick nonetheless. That arthritic knee though.

 

NFL evaluators surprisingly were complimentary of Alabama T Cyrus Kouandjio in an NJ.com article.
"We like him," an NFC scout said. "We have him rated pretty high." An AFC executive called Kouandjio "raw" but said he had "a lot of upside." Kouandjio has been criticized so often throughout the process that you almost forget that his physical gifts and on-field production both scream first-round pick. His medicals and combine performance raise red flags, but apparently the NFL is keeping those concerns in perspective. "He had a bad combine, so that’s going to throw some people off him," an NFC personnel man said. "But he looked good on tape. He’s big, long, and he competes. I like that." Apr 6 - 9:03 PM

The guy is too slow to play tackle at the NFL level. He will be such a bust. I pray we do not make this mistake.

actually his speed, excellent athletic ability, very quick and light feet, excellent lateral agility, etc are what make him so elite. It is his technique that needs more coaching. As National Football Post writes:

"Kouanjio has better physical traits then Mathews (Texas A&M) and Lewan (Michigan), but at this time, he is not as good with his technique. The question teams will have to answer on draft day is, do they go with upside or what the player is now?"

      Not sure how much he was a long term piece of this team.   Sucks to not have him as part of the rotation.   Looks like it's Lee Hunter time.

      I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.
