Nope. He was getting hype before his Pro Day. He was considered a fringe 1st round from early in the draft season. He's being talked about MORE now for the same reason all the combine participants got talked about so much more after the combine. There is new information about him to talk about.

I like Perriman, he doesn't have bad routes or hands. He is actually a hands catcher, unlike most WRs coming out of college. However, I'd probably go with Peat. A first good OT is more important than a second good WR.

CJ's gonna retire soon? That's news to me. Isn't he like 28?

Not bad. If we're going 2nd round RB I'd prefer Ameer Abdullah myself, but I wouldn't be mad about Coleman. The only pick I flat out disagree with is Conley. Dude has brick hands. Not lapses in concentration, not occasional dropsies, he seems to drop about everything that isn't a gimme. Just going off what I've seen of him, though. Haven't thoroughly researched him, I could be wrong.

I'm not as wowed by Algholor as most here are, but I'd definitely take Perriman over Hardy. I LOVE Hardy...but not as a 1st round prospect. I'm hoping for him in the 3rd, but depending on our 1st round pick I might be ok with him in the 2nd. Hardy's got two physical limitations that are hard to overcome (but entirely possible), and that's why I wouldn't want to take the risk in the 1st. He's short and he's not especially fast. Those are two big hurdles. His hands, savvy, wiggle, route running, and hands are top notch though so I do believe he'll be successful. Achieving elite would be quite an accomplishment though.

There's room on this squad for Perriman AND Hardy....

If we gotta choose between Reaves and Tolbert I'd rather keep Tolbert. He's a capable receiver and he can throw blocks, in addition to grinding out the short yards better than Reaves could. I know the whole younger thing, but we got Fozzy and likely a RB added in the draft for the youth movement. I think Tolbert is still worth $1.4mil to us.

As a refresher, here's probably the best site for checking out prospects for yourself instead of blindly listening to the prefabricated opinions of Kiper and the other media "scouts". http://draftbreakdown.com/players/breshad-perriman/ Main thing to take away from these videos, in my opinion, is how absolutely horrible Perriman's QB is. Pay attention to how many of the passes he catches that he has to contort his body around to make. He drops a couple he shouldn't, but I think his drop numbers are severely inflated by the quality of the passes thrown to him.

holy poo that's fast for his size. I was interested in him in the 1st before today, now I'd definitely be happy with him in the 1st.

With the Kraken gone, it's settled. TD is my next jersey. Second favorite Panther of all time.

3 WRs though? KB, Strong, Perriman, Hardy, Brown....youngest WR corps ever. Good though.

Lol a few times? That draft would be crazy...... ....crazy awesome.

His message was that the league is more important to him than the team.

That looks like fun. I'd love to go. I'm even going to be on leave leading up to the draft. Too far, though.

Don't think we'll be fine without him, as evidenced by our pathetic pass rush last year. If Hardy plays 5 or 6 more years like the past two years he will be a 1st ballot hall of famer. Having a motor that never stops, combined with his abilities in the pass rush AND the run are a very rare combination.

It's possible. I haven't seen Gone Girl (no spoilers, though you've already kinda spoiled it ), but I could just as easily believe he'd value the huge financial hit he'd take by fighting it more than the principle of making sure she doesn't get away with her heinous actions.

I was quite confident we'd get significant comp picks. Not surprised at all. Those are going to help a lot.

Also, I have a higher opinion of you than the sort of simplistic "oh he paid her off, that means he must be guilty" mindset we see from the uninformed masses. I see all these comments on PFT articles, elsewhere and people I talk to up here and it just amazes me that people can be so utterly simple minded than to believe that because he paid her off it's proof that he did it. You're better than that.

Hardy paying her off isn't a fact. It's a theory. One I actually do believe however. Does it prove he's guilty? Absolutely not. Paying her off was an economical move. Paying her was probably cheaper than paying his lawyers AND it got the case resolved quicker. Do you think that if he hadn't paid her off the whole ordeal would have been done by now and he would have been able to hop into FA with a resolution in time to get a deal worth up to $13mil for one year? I sincerely doubt it. The only reasonable conclusion I can come up with, knowing all the facts (as well as believing the payoff theory) is that he needed the situation done in order to get on with his life and get on with getting paid. For all we know the case would still be going on now if it hadn't been dropped. And no team is going to offer him a contract until the legal process is done. He wouldn't have been able to receive offers til all the real money had dried up.

If I recall correctly those photos were taken well after the incident and their legitimacy was questionable at best. From what I remember, the bruises were supposedly minor and the only real bruise was supposed to be on her arm where they were trying to remove her from the apartment. Then there's the whole thing where she was asked in the first "trial" if she received any damage from the attack and her answer was that she broke a nail. If she were battered and bruised you don't think she would have mentioned that? As someone said before, if pictures that damning existed you don't think the DA would have pursued the case even if Holder wouldn't show up? Her cooperation wasn't necessary. And finally, if there were legitimate pictures to be believed, don't you think the original judge would have given him a slightly more stiff punishment than a 60 day suspended sentence and 18 months probation? That sentence screams "I don't think you actually did anything but I gotta punish you somehow for appearances". That's a slap on the wrist for a supposed dangerous, violent woman beater. I'm sorry, I don't believe for an instant that he or anyone in that room harmed her. There's just way too much evidence to the contrary.

big difference between getting about four or five chances and getting let go after the first (false) allegation against you.

Wrong answer. The correct answer was "Hardy didn't do anything, so THAT's why the team should have had his back instead of turning theirs and THAT's why JR is wrong here." If there was a glimmer of a chance that he hit that woman, I wouldn't want him back here either.

Plenty of us were talking about Strong in the 1st before the combine.

And my last one for now, think I went with the buffalobillsdraftsite board. Wasn't quite as satisfied with this one as the other two, mainly because I had to wait til the 3rd to get a WR. The value was better on Peat in the 1st (was between him and Strong and though I love Strong as a prospect, protecting Cam is more important than giving him more weapons) and the value at WR in the 2nd just wasn't there. Greene is a fine prospect for the 3rd round, so I'd feel pretty good about this draft. 25: R1P25 OT ANDRUS PEAT STANFORD 57: R2P25 CB JALEN COLLINS LSU 89: R3P25 WR RASHAD GREENE FLORIDA STATE 121: R4P25 RB JAY AJAYI BOISE STATE 153: R5P25 SS IBRAHEIM CAMPBELL NORTHWESTERN 185: R6P25 DE COREY CRAWFORD CLEMSON 217: R7P25 OT ROB CRISP NC STATE

For my second run I wanted to see how the chips would fall if I went WR in the first. Used Draftek's board this time. Had to make a difficult call in the 3rd when Ameer Abdullah and Ogbuehi were both available. Went with my head instead of my heart. Also, despite potentially causing a logjam at WR I just couldn't pass up Hardy in the 4th. 25: R1P25 WR JAELEN STRONG ARIZONA ST 57: R2P25 CB JALEN COLLINS LSU 89: R3P25 OT CEDRIC OGBUEHI TEXAS A&M 121: R4P25 WR JUSTIN HARDY EAST CAROLINA 153: R5P25 RB JAVORIUS ALLEN USC 185: R6P25 OT TYRUS THOMPSON OKLAHOMA 217: R7P25 CB DESHAZOR EVERETT TEXAS A&M Another draft I'd be exceptionally pleased with. Right after I made the last pick I saw Jordan Hicks, OLB from Texas was still available, I would have picked him if I noticed. Not a big deal either way.
