[R0CKnR0LLA]

Nice, great pick.

[Wolfcop]

Here we go... Captain Munnerlyn or Jean Francois!!! Make it happen!

(awaits pick of Graham Gano instead)

Good call

We got our Captain

[Proudiddy]

I'm not big on drafting local products unless I KNOW they can play. This guy can play. I think Teal or Wilson just lost their spot.

Great now we have to deal with SC fans

Nice pick, my opinion of this draft overall now is pretty good.

Analysis

Positives: Short, but has a legitimate NFL body. ... Rare straight-line speed and agility. ... Loose hips to turn and run with receivers. ... Good explosiveness out of his cuts. ... Closes quickly and gets his hands on passes. ... Soft hands for the interception and can high-point passes. ... Good body control to contort in space and make the athletic catch. ... Good returner with experience fielding both punts and kicks. ... Plays with a bit of a chip on his shoulder. ... Not afraid to mix it up with the big boys and is willing in run support. ... Reliable open-field tackler who flashes surprising explosiveness as a hitter. ... Has forced three fumbles.

Negatives: Might be too short to play outside. ... Inconsistent. ... Relies on his natural ability and can be beaten with double-moves. ... Experienced in zone coverage, but his playmaking skills might make him a better fit in man. ... Has struggled a bit with durability, missing time in at least one game each of his three years. ... Missed time as a junior with flu-like symptoms, as a sophomore with a broken foot, and as a freshman due to an infection in his right arm.

"The Panthers with the Captain, Will Make It Happen."

or

""Have a Little Captain in You"

a good pick to take in the seventh round.

[Scrumtrilescent]

I've never been that high on Captain, but I'll tell you one thing...the kid has big brass balls as a punt returner. Never think I saw him make a fair catch.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

Biggest knock on him is his height but this is a great pick in the 7th.
