Panthers met with Texas A&M OT Cedric Ogbuehi

From JJ's twitter :

Texas A&M OT Cedric Ogbuehi met with the Panthers last night. Remember Gettleman lamented Ogbuehi's ACL injury at postseason presser

JJ is referring to Gettleman saying "poor kid" after Dave asked about Cedric's injury.

The Panthers have met with him which definitely means there is interest.

Would you be OK with taking him and sitting him a season? In what round?

[LinvilleGorge]

Considering he'll need a redshirt season and he's a 300+ pound man who will be playing on a reconstructed knee, 3rd round at the highest and that's only if we had a clear 1st round grade on him otherwise.

[TheRumGone]

Def not in the first.

I'm having nightmares about brandon hogan right now

[TheSpecial1]

Def not in the first.

 

2nd round. But we would need to have signed a vet OT during free agency so we could give him the time he needs to recover from his injury.

Nope.

Not everyone is a TD. Reconstruction of the knee is serious business, and with so many other options I would pass.

[Jeremy Igo]

How about picking the LSU kid in the first and this guy in the second.

Double dip.... And a healthy Cam for years to come.

read comments on his lack of motor

 

but, if he drops enough (3rd round), then worth a chance i suppose

[Gallagher]

"You gotta know how quickly you can get this guy on the field. If you can't get him on the field, then whats the point"

 

Wouldn't take him earlier than the 3rd.

[Professor Queso]

ACL repair has advanced light years in just the past 10 years or so, wouldn't surprise me one bit if we used a 2nd or 3rd round pick on him. He could be starting on the blindside by the middle of next season.

Spend a 2nd on a guy who isn't gonna play the first year? Plus the fact he's already damaged goods, What have you done with Igo Hurney!

[DaCityKats]

2nd round. The talent is there, but how healthy can the knee get, and how fast? You can start him out on the pup list, or if heals nicely, move him along slowly.

[LinvilleGorge]

Collins could be a real possibility at #25 after today's measurements.  Coming in at "only" 6'4" with 33" arms a lot of teams will classify him as an OG and that might knock him down the board.  There was a pretty good LT who played for the Panthers who was 6'4" with 33" arms.

[Jeremy Igo]

He won't last past the second I don't think.
