WTF??? Wilson over Sturdivant???

Recommended Posts

NFL.com has Wilson graded at 4.6 and Sturdivant at 6.5 that's almost a full 2 points lower. Sturdivant was taken just 5 spots later by the Cardinals. I know our scouts grade players ourselves but how could we possibly have them graded that far off that we'd take Wilson first?

Wilson is projected to be a future backup while Sturdivant is projected to be becomem a starter.

Hurney.... C'mon man!

Reviews of each player:

Wilson looks like a future backup who should be able to be productive on special teams. Has good height and speed but lacks the bulk or playing strength to take on and shed blockers against the run. Flashes the potential of a sideline-to-sideline player but isn't the most sound openfield tackler or the smoothest player in space/coverage. Could see action in passing situations with his combination of range in coverage and comfort blitzing. One of those interesting prospects who, despite his experience and productive in college, still has upside and needs polish to elevate his game to that of an NFL starter. Day 3, late-round prospect.

Sturdivant's draft stock dipped after missing five games this past season with a hamstring injury, but he is athletic enough to eventually become a starter at the next level. He is a smart football player that flows to the ball and shows a good closing burst. He gets in good position and shows the ability to anticipate routes in zone coverage, and he maintains speed in transition which makes him effective in man. He lacks the necessary bulk and strength to take on blockers and can is engulfed in phone booth situations too often. Sturdivant is likely a third round pick.

Could be something medical. Maybe our medical staff found that he has an injury that will prevent him from having a successful career. With Sturdivant being from our own backyard its possible we've found something out about him that other teams would not find out.

the panthers are drafting based on their draft board , we are drafting players that Riveria & his staff like, as i have posted before, teams that draft BPA based on what talking heads think never win on a regular basis. teams who draft the bpa that fits their team are almost alsways in the mix(steelers,patriots,eagles,colts,ravens)
