koolkatluke Mock Draft 1.0 before the combine.

[koolkatluke]

Before my Mock I'm hoping that the Panthers sign 3 Mid level FA a OG (Kevin Booth or Louis Vasquez or Stephen Peterman ) from this good FA class of Olinemen a Vet NT(Terrance Knighton or Chris Canty or Sammie Hill or Alan Branch ) and a CB (Cary Williams or Mike Jenkins or Chris Houston or Sam Shields or Derek Cox ).

1. Sheldon Richardson DT Missouri

6. Caleb Sturgis, K, Florida

I'm not looking for tape on a kicker.

I am a little worried about Richardson. I have seen some sites have him listed at 287 lbs. I think that is a bit light for this level. Maybe they have it wrong, but would love to have something official on his measurements.

I love it!

I love Richardson, Reid, Bailey, Fauria, Mathieu, Hughes, Sturgis every single one of them.

I love the FA move also. Everyone would love to get a Warmack in this draft but I really think its better for us to just grab a vet OG in FA. Instant plug and play with no learning to worry about. I also don't think Gettleman is going to take any OL in the 1st two rounds. Like I said before, just looking at the history of the NYG Draft the last time the Gmen took an OLINE high in the draft was in 2009 no.60 with Beaty. Other than that you have to go all the way back to 04' with Snee in the 2nd.

The Giants philosophy of building the DL and WR through the Draft while searching for very good veteran O-linemen through FA (Locklear, Ugoh, Bass, St. Andrews, Sh. Andrews, Boothe) has worked well to their advantage. I believe that Mr. Gettleman's philosohy will look very similar to this.

Really like your thoughts on potential FA targets and all picks after round 2. I would be very surprised if Richardson checks in above 285 at the combine and while he may be quick and disruptive, I have seen him get driven 10 yards back by average OG's. Reid I do kind of like because he is a big hitter in the run game and has solid ball skills, takes very bad angles to the ball carrier which does concern me.

This is BAD man.

Literally all picks just based on popular names.

What happened to you being so gung ho about drafting a CB?

If we lose Gamble and Captain we will be very Young at Cb . Adding another young CB hurts the mix of young and experience. I'd rather add a vet to that group and a Young safety to play beside Godfrey. That JMo.

Don't worry about Bwood's opinion bro. He's having too much drinks already before the Grammys tonight ;)

Alan Branch, Cary Williams, Canty, Jenkins, and Shield all I like.

But didn't the Ravens give Williams an extension last year?

No it's says he's a Fa.

[carolina-chuck]

No it's says he's a Fa.

Really? I have to check again. I swear either the Ravens extended him or franchised him.

I would love for him to be a FA though.

[carolina-chuck]

Look like he is a FA. Said he's looking for an 8-10 mill per year contract . Too high
