Who Is The Player You Pray The Panthers Don't Draft?

I will start.

DT Dontari Poe, Memphis. Most mocks (30+% according to DC Mocks) have us taking Poe. He is a workout warrior. His game film shows a weak motor and he is on the ground a lot. His stats were not good compared to other players from bigger schools who got double teamed weekly--he was SECOND team ALL CONFERENCE USA.

Personally, I think he is hyped by the media because his freakish combine made him look like a stud. He is not. From what I can gather, he is not high on a lot of boards.

CRAZY PREDICTION: (I do not think it is)--He wll be one of the biggest fallers in the draft. Look for him to be drafted in the top 12--of the second round.

Poe.

He's an amazing athlete for his size, but he doesn't know how to use his weight or strength against opponents both larger and smaller than him.

His motor is almost non-existent.

He's constantly on his ass, pancaked by people 50 pounds less than him.

Would take him as a risk in the second, but I know there's no way he'll make it down there because of his amazing combine, so I say NO to him at 9.

Coples. I worry about all of the things that come along with him. The questions about him taking plays off (it's much worse for a player of Coples athleticism to take plays off than a guy the size of Poe), and the worries about the things that happened at Carolina.

Yeah I've been vocal about not wanting Poe too. He's started 30 games and yet he's as raw as a cucumber. When you're drafting a project you're pretty much predicting him to develop after 2 years or so. If he can't develop after starting for 2 years in college, why would he be any different after 2 years in the nfl?

Still also scares me for different reasons. He just gets injured way too often.

Dontari Poe. Riding a combine isn't enough for me.

Alshon Jeffery (Jeffrey, Jeffries), He's over rated and I wouldn't want him in the second either. Regardless of QB Issues and schemes, his physique is his meal ticket. Rather have Hill who was somewhat productive in a run first offense as well and never fluctuated in weight.
