Early ESPN Mock Draft

We have so many holes and I don't see much help at O-Line from the draft. I would love to see us pick a D-line who can get penetration or a linebacker (I or O). Woodley is an interesting pick. I don't know if he has the speed for a linebacker, but he sure has the size and toughness.

Ginn would be an interesting pick, also. But there are many quality receivers this year that you can get at the lower rounds. I wish I could remember his name, but there is a kid from Houston that has amazing speed and sure hands...and a tremendous returner

 

Willis is worth taking mid-first, I guess. They have him going lower, which happens. It's not that he's not a good player - as a matter of fact, i'd state otherwise. Every Panther fan around seems in love with him as if he's one of three players actually in the draft at all.

But yes, there are numerous FA options, and Draft could be re-signed.
For that matter, unfortunately we have the option of bringing Morgan back.

 

I didn't know Brian Brohm was a TE?

 

I wouldn't be upset with a DE in the 1st...We can address LB and Safety later in the draft, imo...We really need to see how FA shapes up.

 

They've got Laron Landry too high and Reggie Nelson too low. Both are going to be mid-teen picks and I'd take either one.

 

I wouldn't take O-Line in the first. For one this is another weak O-line year. Two, there will be a lot of change on the O-line simply with guys coming back. That alone could back up for a lot of need. At that point you've got to find someone better than the starters, and no one in the first round of this year's draft is a definitive upgrade. Well there's one, but he'll be gone.

 

I'd be happy with BPA in the first unless it was a RB or CB. Haven't gotten into evaluating the list enough to know who it might be. Go for need in 2 and 3 if we have to.

 

The S from TX (Griffin?) is pretty good if the LSU one is gone. Not sure how much of a reach it would be. But there is no way in hell I would take a QB in round 1.

1st Best S or LB available
2nd Chris Leak, QB, FLA

 

I've wanted to like Brohm, but after watching the Wake game he doesn't seem to have a big arm. I could be wrong but it doesn't "look" like he gets alot of zip on his passes.

 

He's definitely got plenty of talent, but that system can make a guy look good for college ball without being the elite guy. I think his arm has plenty of accuracy and touch but no, not much velocity, or at least he doesn't throw as if he does.
