5th Round - Carolina trades up, selects CB Bene Benwikere in the 5th round.

[EMSMedic79]

Don't forget we are in line for some decent comp picks next draft. We could afford to give up a couple late picks next year.

[Catalyst]

We still have our original 5th? Is that confirmed or a mistake?

[PiratePanther189]

What did we trade because we still have our original 5th

 

No we don't http://www.nfl.com/draft/2014/tracker/by-round#dt-by-round-input:5/dt-tabs:dt-by-round

 

Looks like 5th this year and the 10th pick of the 7th

We still have our 6th. Looks like we gave up the 7th we had. Not sure of anything else.

Solid pick imo, wont be surprised if Rivera pushed his weight around since GMan is out, im never too confident on guys who went to small schools but i cant see anything really wrong with this guy

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

Benwikere trained with a friend of mine leading up to the draft...I'm hoping we draft my boy in the 7th or bring him on as a UDFA to be our return man.

San Jose State CB a sleeper on the rise

The corner that has been garnering the most attention at the East-West Shrine Game has been San Jose State's Bene Benwikere. The 6-foot, 192-pound standout has shown impressive movement skills, footwork and awareness covering receivers in drills. He has consistently maintained tight coverage on receivers out of the break and shown an aggressive knack for playing the ball. With defensive backs required to play extensively in "off" coverage, Benewikere's ability to backpedal, break and drive has made him a favorite of team's employing zone-heavy schemes.

Speaking to several scouts about Benewikere, most have raved about his size, cover skills and instincts, but the prevailing concern centered on his tackling and toughness. Some believed he didn't attack runners or receivers on the perimeter; he will need to display better courage and toughness to solidify his status as a top corner in the draft. If Benewikere tackles well in the game this weekend, look for his name to rise in scouting circles heading into the NFL Scouting Combine.

I buy a draft guide magazine every year for these later rounds and every year we take players who don't even show up in the guide just to troll Growl
