Round 4: Panthers Select Brandon Hogan

[bbell21]

I don't understand this pick when Brandon Burton from Utah was still on the board, he is a better player with no character issues and no injuries. Instead of Burton we go with a guy Hogan with a blown ACL and some DUI's. WTF

[Car123]

I was cool with the pick until I found out about the ACL injury

Blew his ACL late in the season wont play til the middle of the season.

Maybe, maybe not.

The day West Virginia University took the field for its bowl game Dec. 28 in Orlando against North Carolina State, Brandon Hogan was in Dallas having knee surgery.

With an estimated recovery time of at least four months, Hogan would be unable to work out at the Senior Bowl in January and at this week’s NFL Combine, two prime opportunities for draft prospects to showcase their skills.

he is a young guy, conceivably could be ready for camp 8 months after surgery.

He has a bum knee but would have been an earlier selection if healthy. He won't make a short-term impact but might play some in the second half of the season.

He needs to cut his hair to be honest

-_-

I like the "plays with a swagger" part. Seems like we don't have enough of that on the D.

Watching some clips on youtube, the guys reaction time is awesome.

[bes628]

why not Burton from Utah ? mind blowing, but whatever.

[Swarly]

another guy with rumors of character problems

guess the Panthers are going a different direction this year

not according to hurney and the scouts...i'll trust their opinion over yours

From same link posted above...

Nor does anyone question his toughness. In the first half against UNLV Oct. 9, Hogan tore his bicep and sat out the entire second half. But five days later, he was back in the lineup for the South Florida game.

Thats pretty bad ass. Maybe some of that will rub off on Otah.

I agree car its and ok pick if it wasn't for the acl injury!

[Icege]

Reflects the aggressive nature of the defense that Rivera is trying to promote I guess :)

I like the pick, though I was thinking it would've been Burton. Wouldn't have minded Boling. TE next?

[DynastyRTR]

risk/reward. I like it

[NanceUSMC]

Blew his ACL late in the season wont play til the middle of the season.

Middle of the season may be the start of the season this year... ;-)
