Character no longer matters.

Looks like a good football player, hopefully leaders like Beason and Davis can keep him out of trouble.

mayock said from a talent perspective he's probably better than a 4th rd pick

[teeray]

Pretty good pick. Has off the field stauff but a hell of a player on the field. High risk high reward type guy. At least we have some balls this draft. Not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing :lol:

[Dpantherman]

I think we got a tough player

[d-run]

ESPN insider has him rated as the 13th best CB. Had him ahead of House and Burney

[Hoenheim]

apparently we have no "iconic" players that can keep hogan all together..

[SmootsDaddy89]

Dont know him. F- pick.

[jpniner]

Guess post Fox, Panthers going to the dark side

[tarheelblue89]

Congrats Da'Norris

[Millions]

Seems They're confident Rivera wont take any sh1t and will be a good guy to keep these not so "perfect" prospects in line. Love that we continue to go with our needs also...

Still hoping that Captain becomes #2 CB this year.

The Smitty of CB's!

Seems like a strange pick. Lots of character concern and he is coming of an ACL injury

Carolina's 4th Round Pick: Brandon Hogan, CB - West Va

Strengths:

Well built and strong for size. Elite athletic tools. Decent overall speed and quickness. Great ball skills; a converted wide receiver. Experienced on kick/punt returns. A hard hitter for a cornerback and a reasonably reliable tackler. Could potential play some free safety in the pros. A tough all-around player.

Weaknesses:

Serious character concerns – enough to remove him from some draft boards. Arrested for a DUI and arrested again just three weeks later for driving with a suspended licence. Was suspended indefinitely after the incident but was later reinstated. Also cited for disorderly conduct in a separate incident 2010. Missed parts of spring practices in 2010 due to academic issues. Suffered a torn ACL in December, potentially limiting his availability for the 2011 season.

Comments:

Hogan has legitimate starter potential but far too many concerns to warrant a selection before the 6th or 7th round. If he is able to stay healthy and out of trouble he has plenty of upside, but some teams may simply believe he isn’t worth the trouble.

This pick >BL0WS<!

What, did Rivera/Carolina lose a bet?!

Hogan's 'Rap Sheet' is longer than his list of 'Strengths'! There were as good if not better CBs available without all the baggage and drama!

looks like we are going with talent not choirboys.....good value pick at a position of need
