Falcoholic Draft Countdown: Carolina Panthers, #13

by Dave the Falconer on Apr 3, 2008 11:50 AM EDT in NFL News Comment 8 comments

1. Chris Long, DE, Miami Dolphins
2. Jake Long, OT, St. Louis Rams
3. Glenn Dorsey, DT, Atlanta Falcons
4. Darren McFadden, RB, Oakland Raiders
5. Ryan Clady, OT, Kansas City Chiefs
6. Vernon Gholston, LB/DE, New York Jets
7. Leodis McKelvin, CB, New England Patriots
8. Matt Ryan, QB, Baltimore Ravens
9. Sedrick Ellis, DT, Cincinnati Bengals
10. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, CB, New Orleans Saints
11. Malcolm Kelly, WR, Buffalo Bills
12. Chris Williams, OT, Denver Broncos

And the Broncos go for Chris Williams, a tackle with a lot of potential for growth. This move is sure to disappoint blogger Ted Nugent...er, Jaxon...over at Cat Scratch Reader, which identifies offensive line as the most critical need and Chris Williams as the most likely candidate. Jaxon is pushing hard for a selection along the line, so keep his sage advice in mind as you vote.

Additional Panther needs include running back, interior defensive line and linebacker. Go to it, gents.

Durn Pantys!

I'm hoping they draft either Michael Vick or Diet Pepsi Machine.

Friends don't let Friends draft Matt Ryan.

I dunno...

Diet Pepsi Machine looked great at the Senior Bowl. I'd hate to see him go to a division rival.

Yes but...

Can he translate it to the pros?

The thing to remember about Machine is that he's a system guy, he's got bust written all over him. Besides, he's got a ton of character issues anyways.

Agreed, but...

...I surely would want 'The Dew' to end up on a rival's roster. I really think the Panther's need another WR. I hear Chris Henry is available...

RE:Also

I voted Other for no reason except I hope they have a horrible draft and really don't want any of those guys listed going to their team. I would rather they draft Ted Ginn Jr, or to be more realistic, whatever his equivalent is this year. Or maybe they can draft Keyshawn(sp?) Johnson. I don't know, something inside me just want allow me to be completely unbiased on this one. Sorry.

You forgot DE Derrick Harvey

He would be the pick if the favored tackles are off the board. The Panthers then would try to trade up into the end of the 1st round to get one of the remaining tackles. IMO that is.

Ugh

Good point. He really should've been in there. I guess I got Julius Peppers in my head and forgot about ends. Thanks for the heads up, man, and sorry I missed it.
