I think I'm going to be giving up Volnation for Lent, so here's my Fat Tuesday Panthers Draft thoughts.
If we actually do pick at 8 or 9, without trading up or down, please please please do not take one of these DT or CB prospects. Brockers and Still just don't seem to be can't-miss to ten guys. Same goes for Kirkpatrick or the CB from Nebraska.
If we pick at 8 or 9, I'm really hoping we go with Riley Reiff. I'm convinced that to get an outstanding OT, you have to get him in the top half of the first round in the draft.
Otah is a glass doll, and Gross isn't getting younger. Byron Bell...bless his heart...just isn't an adequate substitute for what Jeff Otah could be.
If we are going to trade up, I hope it's for Claiborne. If we do trade down, I hope it's for Janoris Jenkins...late in the first.
I realize the needs, but with this list of prospects, and where we're picking, it's Reiff or bust for the Panthers in the first round.
