Carolina Panthers Draft Amini Silatolu Og Midwestern

[The Faceless]

Poor dude, he doesn't realize hes jinxed with the Hurney second pick.....

nah we're due for another Kalil after all these shitty 2nd rounders...and by the way how many of these 2nd rounders drafted since '07 have been OL? Exactly.

Pretty loaded question. The question has three different qualifiers for it to work. I think it is pretty dumb to say a first round pick will succeed because Hurney drafted them, a second round pick will fail because Hurney drafted them, or a 2nd round OL drafted after 07 will be as good as Kalil.

I'm finishing off my undergrad at a small school, so I like the pick lol. I love rooting for these small school/underdog picks. Looked at some of his highlights and dude is a mauler! Hopefully, he's able to protect Cam for 10+ years

Silatolu apparently took exception to the way one draft analyst described him. Specifically, he was not happy with the phrase "evil monster".

"I'm not like that at all" Silatolu said, shaking his head sadly. Clearly annoyed at the characterization as a heartless beast, he continued, "that guy totally misrepresented the kind of person that I am..."

"...so I ate him" :o

[Herbert The Love Bug]

he is going to be a beast from day 1 with the panthers

[CardiacCats]

Yeah I would bet my life on him starting at Tampa Bay

Didn't Silatolu play in the same conference that yielded Cowboys hall of fame guard, Larry Allen?

[CardiacCats]

No, but he did play D2 and was picked in the middle of the second round so it's a good comparison. I have to tell you this is the pick I start liking better and better all the time.

Damn I hate the fuggin cowboys

[Panthro]

I would have preffered Cordy Glenn but thats just me. I cant wait for him to pancake through the NFC South

[SCP]

Yea Glenn should be a beast. I would have preferred him or one of the Wisconsin kids.

I would have preferred Glenn also, Amini is too much of a project. And he's not that good in pass pro, which is very alarming considering he went against DII competition.

Just means his body type and skill set is much better suited for guard. What I am reading about the guy is that he is likely to be an absolute beast in the run game. Pencil him in between gross and kaliI
