Say Goodbye to Golden Tate

[scpanther22]

15th pick of the 2nd round maybe

No way Dez makes it out of the 1st

[Fiz]

that guy is top 15 for sure.thats bs because they want to draft him, but golden is a stud.

There were tons of rumors about him in college. This isn't out of nowhere. He apparently has the intelligence of a moist rock.

maybe, but he has the skills of a top 10 wr.plus he can return punts.

[Fiz]

also guys don't put a lot of merit into 40 times.

one run on a track without pads isn't going to undo years of tape, unless its the raiders.

i read some were that jacoby couldnt get seperation from the cbs at the senior game, but he runs a 4.2. but marty ran a 4.5 but gets good seperation.i like taylor price tho.

It's in one of these threads somewhere...

There are bigger and better receivers available in the draft. HE is one of the bigger names though. Keep the name, I want production.

ya.....no way he makes it to the 2nd round. thats absurd.

depending on if the dolphins get karlos dansby in free agency.....we will draft him @12

[guyinchesapeake]

The scouts don't put too much of a premium on 40 yard dash times. They don't. There are agility and other drills that score much higher as far as they are concerned, especially when it comes to WRs. Many, if not most, players in the league now can't match the times they put up as younger men at the combines, yet, the remain in the league.

FYI, here's a video of long-time Panthers scout Bucky Brooks discussing Tate and comparing him to Steve Smith...

[DaveThePanther2008]

....we're going to overdraft jordan shipley and you just better get ready for it.

Sounds good to me. I think Shipley is just an incredlible playmaker. I think he made Colt McCoy look great.

If that is overdrafting then Overdraft away.

Go Panthers

[Bobby]

You guys are gonna be pissed when we draft The Fever with that pick.
