Yas: PP7 won't be the pick

Interesting nugget in his chat:

Dean (Tallahassee, FL)

Is there any chance the Panthers possibly draft Patrick Peterson? There's a good possibility he may be the best overall player in the draft.

Pat Yasinskas

Not happening. Agree he might be best overall player. But he's a CB and he might have hurt his stock with Panthers when he said he didn't want to return kicks. I seriously think they're going the QB route.

Sounds like he messed up his interview.

[Matt Moore]

he will still return punts so whats the point?

[philp]

yeah i kind of thought the same thing when i heard him say that about returning kicks. green is starting to look like a serious option now!!

[mav1234]

He said he'd prefer to just return punts.

Peterson has come up by name in the last 24 hours both by Hurney and Rivera, so while he may not be the pick he's at least still on the list, I imagine.

Yas doesn't know any more than rest of us.

Well we drafted Armanti. Let his ass do kick returns.

We have capable kick returners in Goodson and Munnerlyn, but both suck when returning punts.

Will Newton be able to return kicks?

That and with todays rules the DL/LB pass rush is much more important than ever before. 'shut down' CB's just aren't the same anymore.

you don't go to job interviews and say I prefer not to do a large percentage of the stuff that got me into this very interview.

PP7 flat out wouldn't have the same type overall impact other positions could immediately.

[SOJA]

lets get that wide-out from TCU to return punts

[jpniner]

Will Newton be able to return kicks?

Tight Ends don't return kicks, though he could make an excellent blocker on kick returns!

[CarolinaNut]

that's complete speculation by yasinkas...peterson said he wants to do punts and not KO's...they wouldn't want him doing KO's anyway with what they would invest in him at number 1...peterson is still very much in play for the panthers

I like PP7 but good news if true..
