Post what you would have wanted Carolina to do with #25, #57, and #89.
#25) Phillip Dorsett, WR, Miami - It stinks that Humphries went off the board, especially since the two fifths might have been enough to jump ahead of the Cardinals. Perriman might be a better NFL prospect, but the Panthers really need someone with elite quickness who can get open underneath and then has the hands to consistently gain yardage. Devin Smith has a bit more size but his hands are too questionable and he's more straight line speed compared to Dorsett's lightning change of direction. La'el Collins is who I would have taken before the police blotter, but I'm going to cheat and grab him later. Jake Fisher also got consideration. If the Panthers were dead set on the SS/OLB hybrid then Eric Kendricks and Landon Collins both would have been better options than Shaq Thompson in my opinion.
#57) Owa Odighizuwa, DE, UCLA - I would have been fine with him at #25. The medicals obviously make him a risk, but I'd rather have a guy who is potentially dominant when healthy than a guy who will be healthy yet never be dominant. I love his hand skills at controlling blockers, and his experience as a 3-4 DE gave him great training to step in immediately and hold his ground against NFL linemen in the run game. Plus he has the explosiveness and moves to develop into an above average pass rusher. DE has the potential to be a trainwreck for this team in 2015, and if you can't pressure the quarterback then your coverage is going to get exposed.
#89) La'el Collins, OT, LSU - Like I said, this is cheating. Also, Richardson would obviously never do it because he's so concerned about his image right now. That said, I don't think Collins had anything to do with the shooting and being able to grab a top talent this late makes it a no-brainer. He could step in immediately at RT, and even if he failed there he would end up being a dominant guard. If I have to eliminate him because of Richardson, I would take T.J. Clemmings and hope for the best regarding his foot.
