ERIC REID!!!

oh well every high prospect

Robert Lester, FS, Alabama

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

I see us picking in the 15 to 18 range.

Possibly...

OT, D.J. Fulker, Alabama

WR, Keenan Allen, California

DT, Jonathan Hankins, Ohio State

CB, Xavier Rhodes, Florida State

Any of these guys would be good.

What? So you dont see us making the Playoffs?

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Have to see if our defense has improved first. There are some good teams in the east.

Tyrann Mathieu

Overrated player. Got exposed in the NCG.

[DaCityKats]

exposed some but not overrated.

[HeatCheck]

I don't overrate him because I know what he brings. He is a great play maker but he is a average cover corner.

But I think the casual college football fan sees highlights and top 10 plays and think he is a great CB in terms of covering his assignment. I think I remember seeing him a lot in the nickel position where he'd either rush the QB or not have the duty of covering someone on the outside. I need to see more out of him before I can even consider him as a 1st round pick.

[DaCityKats]

depends on what type of role you are going to play him in. a cover 2 scheme he will do wonders in, or maybe changing his position to FS would be good for him. he has the range, and the balls to come up and lay the wood. dude is a playmaker and has a knack for getting his hands on the ball.

[HeatCheck]

He really does has safety skills. I just wouldn't want him as your typical corner.

[Catalyst]

Mathieu is too small to be a really effective NFL cover corner. I suspect we'll take a safety early unless Nakamura really steps up this year as Martin's contract is up after this season. Robert Lester is a beast and a very safe pick as a mid-late 1st rounder.

[HeatCheck]

I like Lester but also a big fan or Tony Jefferson. He can lay the wood.

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

Most likely an OT/DT/CB/S

[HeatCheck]

Speaking of Tyrann, it looks like he is going to be dismissed from LSU.
