Lets just cut straight to the chase.
Rd 2/Pick 59: Well this is a really shitty position to try and get an immediate contributor. Oh well, whatever. Let's just hope Ron Brace falls down that far. He's the only one of the "second round" DTs I think has a decent chance to come in and contribute but I don't think he will be there. If he isn't, I've seen Sen'Derrick Marks as our pick but, I'm looking for a guy who can play the "line penetrator" role that Jenkins played when he was here. Kemo has his own role as the run stuffer but he doesn't offer much at all as a pass rusher and Damione Lewis isn't an every down DT.
Rd 3/Pick 93: Nickel Cornerback maybe? You know I've seen a few places suggesting CJ Wilson, one of our last picks from 2007, to play there. All I remember about CJ was he was like in the bottom of the fucking depth chart, ....at the safety position. Coye Francies and Victor Harris are in 3rd round territory, so they might be the pick, but if there isn't value there I don't want to just pick a corner for the sake of picking one either. For some reason, none of the cornerbacks tested really well in the 40 yard dash at the combine. Maybe we can turn to line depth. Kraig Urbik fits the kind of mold for a power running game such as ours with his 330 lb frame and he supposedly has a mean streak for run blocking.
Rd 4/Pick 128: I'd like to see Nate Davis in a Panther Uni. I'm not that fond of Pat White's passing abilities but Nate's stock fell and he could be there in the fourth. The guy was once considered a second rounder at one point. There's been talk about him having a learning disability but it hasn't proven to slow a guy down if he can pass his courses and learn the damn playbook at the same time, which he did. Matt Moore didn't follow up a respectable 2-1 rookie season with a good preseason last year, which is all we had to judge him on, and Josh McCown has no upside. He couldn't break 7 yards a pass attempt when he had Boldin and Fitzgerald to throw to in Arizona.
Rd 5/Pick 163: Tony Fiammetta is an intriguing fullback prospect. He's even been looked at as a kind of H-Back, just like Jeff King and Dante Rosario were. All indications are he should very well be there in the 5th, since he's a fullback, unless some asshole team decides to draft him in the 3rd round. He could come in and help contribute as a blocker as well as a receiver out of the backfield. Brad Hoover did a great job last year but alas, he is 32 years old and he couldn't catch a fucking thing that Jake threw to him.
Rd 6/Pick 202: Bleh, who the fuck is here that we could get some value out of? DE depth possibly. Philip Hunt is speculated to be there per drafttek's rankings. He had 14 sacks at Houston. Some nice upside for a 6th rounder.
Now hopefully we get a nice first rounder for Peppers we could use but, you know, until he signs the goddamn tender, we can't do shit, and he's gotta figure that just pussyfooting around is hurting his own reputation.
