25) - D.J. Humphries - Carolina Panthers (7-8-1) COLLEGE: Florida Class: Jr HT: 6-5 WT: 307 POS: OT Analysis: Last year at this point in the draft the Panthers addressed a major need when they added Kelvin Benjamin. That was a play-right-away situation, and even while you want to avoid that at tackle, this could be another one for a rookie because Carolina was dreadful here last year and free agency might not do the trick. Humphries is a guy who rose on my board after I saw him play well against some of the top pass-rushers in the SEC. He lacks polish, but he plays mean, keeps a wide base that makes him tough to get around, and the physical traits are there for him to potentially stick at left tackle. 26) - Marcus Peters - Baltimore Ravens (10-6) COLLEGE: Washington Class: Jr HT: 5-11 WT: 197 POS: CB Analysis: This is a spot where the Ravens can either look to help their own passing game by adding a wide receiver, or look to stop the opposition's by hitting a big need at cornerback. Last year, injuries played a big role in Baltimore's pass defense essentially falling apart, a reminder that depth at cornerback is crucial. I've noted before Peters has some question marks -- he was dismissed from the team at Washington this past season -- but if it's purely a question of talent, he's a potential steal at this point in the first round. He has loads of natural ability, with playmaker instincts to go with very good ball skills. 27) - Kevin Johnson - Dallas Cowboys (12-4) COLLEGE: Wake Forest Class: Sr HT: 6-0 WT: 188 POS: CB Analysis: Dallas could go a few ways here, because the Cowboys have a need along the defensive line, and safety is also a question mark, but I'm not sure they need anything more than a cornerback who can play right away, and Johnson fits the profile. A standout on a lousy team, Johnson has good length for the position and moves and mirrors as well as any cornerback in the draft. He can make man-to-man coverage look so easy at times, and he's an active run defender. It's hard to play while ahead in the NFL if you can't cover, and Dallas would do well with this pick. 28) - Cameron Erving - Denver Broncos (12-4) COLLEGE: Florida State Class: Sr HT: 6-5 WT: 313 POS: OC Analysis: If the Broncos want to keep the run game humming under Gary Kubiak they could use at least one versatile offensive lineman on the inside, and it'd be hard to do better than Erving at this spot. I like Erving at center because he was outstanding there after a midseason switch from tackle, but he provides extra value because he can play tackle as well and also has experience at guard. He's also just played a lot of football, period, and is going to adapt well. From center or guard he's particularly good at winning on the initial block and getting to the second level. 29) - T.J. Clemmings - Indianapolis Colts (11-5) COLLEGE: Pittsburgh Class: Sr HT: 6-4 WT: 309 POS: OT Analysis: It's tempting to look at the defensive line here because the need is pretty obvious, but at this point Clemmings becomes extremely attractive because the potential is so significant. In terms of raw tools you're looking at maybe the best physical package in the draft for a future NFL left tackle. But Clemmings is a converted basketball player, a major physical talent who can be exposed by pass-rushers who have a few tricks. The Colts are OK on the left side but could definitely use another tackle in the portfolio and just talent, period, on an offensive line that took a step forward in 2014 but isn't close to a top unit. 30) - Jordan Phillips - Green Bay Packers (12-4) COLLEGE: Oklahoma Class: Soph HT: 6-5 WT: 329 POS: DT Analysis: If I lined up needs for the Packers right now, it would be interior lineman as the top need, followed by an inside linebacker. Just based on the likelihood for immediate impact, it's a lot easier to find the linebacker further down the board. Phillips has a motor that can run hot and cold, but the potential is significant because he lands pretty close to the "freak" category of athlete for a guy who stands over 6-foot-5, has long arms to keep blocks at bay, and weighs 330 pounds. The effort can be inconsistent, but at his best he can control blocks (or toss them) and can pursue like a much lighter, faster player when he finds a lane. You have to believe you can get him to his full potential, but if you get him close, Phillips can be a scheme-versatile menace. 31) - Breshad Perriman - Seattle Seahawks (12-4) COLLEGE: UCF Class: Jr HT: 6-2 WT: 212 POS: WR Analysis: Seattle was a play away from winning the Super Bowl -- a game in which the Seahawks had five players catch passes, none of them a wide receiver who was actually drafted. Seattle has been resourceful at wide receiver, but the group it has just isn't very explosive. The Seahawks could really use a decent size-speed combination there, and a guy who can, at worst, create consistent separation, which is something they don't have when Paul Richardson is on the shelf. One of the bigger sleepers in the 2015 draft class at this point, Perriman has good length but will also prove dangerous after the catch. At one time I had him as a likely second-round pick, but now I see him as a close call in terms of overall ability next to the top few wide receivers in this class. He fills a need here. 32) - Carl Davis - New England Patriots (12-4) COLLEGE: Iowa Class: Sr HT: 6-4 WT: 320 POS: DT Analysis: Davis had a fantastic week at the Senior Bowl, the question will be whether NFL evaluators believe they'll get that kind of player on a consistent basis, because Davis didn't always show that kind of ability at Iowa, where you wouldn't confuse him for a consistent disruptor against the pass. He won't collapse the pocket with brute strength, but he can certainly hold the point against multiple blockers in the run game, which is something the Patriots are going to miss if Vince Wilfork isn't around next season -- and even if Wilfork is back it would behoove Bill Belichick to have a player of a similar profile who can deepen the rotation. Cornerback could also be a major need here, but it's really hard to say on that one before free agency. And also, DGB isn't picked in his first round.

Oh no, it's not even that. I'm thinking about what Cam has to throw to. As most of us know, he isn't Russel Wilson and can't throw to complete poo receivers his career and it work (even though he did throw 4 picks to the shitty ass Packers). I just don't like thinking about Olsen, and KB being our best receiving options again. But one step at a time, I guess.

I'm an OU fan, I watched Lockett in the Big 12 an immense amount of times. He is a slot guy at best, eh, and obviously a punt returner. Thinking about Jericho Cotchery lined up beside Kelvin Benjamin again as our 2nd receiver makes me vomit in my mouth a bit.

First WR taken is in the 4th round? Do you have us picking up Ginn or is our offense going to look exactly the same besides on the offensive line (D-Will didn't play that much last year.)

A reunion with returner/receiver Ted Ginn is one of the more obvious potential moves the Carolina Panthers could make this offseason. He may instead opt for a homecoming. A source close to Ginn confirmed what many have speculated since he was released by the Cardinals on Monday – the Panthers are interested and have contacted him. But the source also said that Ginn wants to land in his hometown of Cleveland, and the Browns’ interest is mutual. The Ginns have been one of the first families of football in Cleveland for more than a decade. Ted Ginn, Sr. built Glenville High School into a powerhouse, coaching a handful of future Ohio State stars like his son, 2006 Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith and this year’s national title-winning quarterback Cardale Jones. http://blackandbluereview.com/ted-ginn-leaning-toward-cleveland-but-carolina-has-a-case/

Give me another top draft prospect WR and I would feel even better.

Clears out 2 mill.

Yeah, this is pretty much common sense. Without Luck the Colts win 2-4 games at the most. Without Cam, and with Derek we could win between 5-8 games in my opinion.

Your comparisons have been absolute poo lately. First Hitler to DGB, now Gurley to a guy that tore his ACL and everything in his knee twice. I mean, really?

DGB is a talent that can and will start right away, no matter what team he is on. Raw? Maybe. Talented? Hell yes. Athletic? No doubt. All in all I think the man will be a phenomenal player in the league. IF hes there at 25 and we pass on him, we'll be looking around at each other in two to three years just shaking our heads at the possibility of KB + DGB being wasted because of his "possible problems."

Ha, dude. This place was going nuts with so many unhappy posters when he got picked it was ridiculous.

Had this name before I got into school there.

I'm:

Did you just compare one of the worst tragedies in world history to a damn football player? Good God, you have got to be kidding me.

Every video of a player you posted besides Clemmings (maybe) will be gone by 25. I will bank on that.

Hey, he was on the scout team in Norman, Oklahoma. I graduated from there, there is literally nothing to do there at all. Plus, he wasn't ON the damn football team. Spell me with your sarcastic poo.

I copied it from another thread on another website. That part was not included. Thank you.

He was on the practice squad for a year in NORMAN, Oklahoma. Have you ever been there? I graduated from there, believe me there's not much to do but get in trouble and get well ya know, fuged up.

We did, it was worse with OU. They had to sit their 5 star RB, and their leading tackler from the year before too.

Granted, I won't argue with that.

Are you sure you know what morality means? Because I have yet to play that card with DGB. They will do their due diligence on him as anyone should with anybody.

From a dude or a female? Because it seems like you want favors sexually from Jeremy....................

I think it's extremely realistic, because the last two points you made at the end of your sentence.

I get that but, there will not be an elite talent at tackle in this draft at 25. Why reach when you can have the best talented WR in the draft possibly?
