Ricky Proehl and Don Gregory having dinner with WR Lattimer

[Ken]

He doesn't seem to be a 4.4 guy--it is like he doesn't open up the throttle.  Thanks for the feedback.  I have trouble gauging WRs from college to pro.

 

I don't see mid-round either, at least for us. His skill set is a very nice fit here.  Maybe they are thinking Cooks/Lee in the first, Lattimer later.  He runs a 4.4, has good hands, blocks well,, and is 6/2" tall.

 

I can say that the WR crop has never been better in the late first through the second round.  Robinson, Matthews, Adams, Moncrief, etc.  are solid second round guys.

 

Well some guys just run faster out of pads and slow down jut a touch in them. Plus the 40 is in a straight line and guys specifically train for it(drop weight, etc)

 

Think about Lee. He's a beast and looks like he runs a low 4.4/ high 4.3 but didn't do that at the combine. Same with Allen(injured but still) last year etc.

 

As they say tape never lies.

 

And yeah, there will be quality in the 2nd and 3rd. No need to reach on a guy in the 1st.

Don't know that much about Latimer other than what I've read BUT I would be disappointed if he's our pick at #28.

Here's a good report on Latimer.  I don't know about round one, but round two would be great.

This is the kind of guy Cam needs.

i think his 40 time shows when he runs go/ vertical routes and YAC. his routes at Indiana was limited based on the scheme.i love that he is also working with Marshall on route running, which is huge.

Would not mind him in the second at all. We pick so late that it is basically a third round pick.

Proehl is at IU today and then on to see Matthews at Vandy. We must reeeaaallly like Latimer....most interest of the WRs thus far.

[DaCityKats]

hopefully he visits LSU and Penn later this week.

I hope he's there for the pro days, PSU's was yesterday and LSU's is today.

he is not there at the pro day, he is at Indiana working out Cody Latimer, and tomorrow he will be heading to Vandy to workout Jordan Matthews and the other WRs there. i bet the panthers have scouts at LSU, and had some at PSU yesterday.private workouts are a lot better compared to just watching pro days, and Ricky will probably work those guys out sometime this month.

Interesting.

Feeling blessed that the Panthers have Ricky. I do believe he knows what he is doing. He spent the majority of his career with the Rams but is doing work for the Panthers. I am expecting great things going forward.

FWIW I asked @nfldraftscout about the panthers draft interests and I got this: http://twitter.com/nfldraftscout/status/453942083049385984

By the way, Jarvis Landry ran a 4.58 at his pro day today.

I'm not going to say it's an absolute lock this guy is the pick at #28, but I swear I have this feeling that it could happen. 

 

I just like everything I see about Latimer. He just passes the eyeball test to me. Like I've said in previous threads, if we've done our homework and fully evaluated what type of talent we think he is/going to be, I don't have a big issue taking him at #28. Like I said though that's just my opinion and I know a good bit of others disagree that it's waaaaaay to high to take him. 

 

He is however my man crush for this year's draft.
