NFL Draft

I've watched a lot of the NFL Draft over the last 2 days. I like the Panthers draft choices although I wish they would have got one of the local centers. Obviously, I have to defer to John Fox and company when it comes to getting these guys who play for them. They got some offensive and defensive linemen (always a good idea). The running back in the 2nd round makes sense. You'll have Stephen Davis who may have a couple of good seasons left in him, but he can't have too many. DeShaun Foster has had some injury problems. Rod Smart is there b/c of special teams, and Nick Goings and Brad Hoover are more suited for fullback. The Panthers want to run the ball, so another guy back there makes sense. Taking a QB is a pretty good idea. Chris Weinke is the backup and Rod Rutherford is the 3rd QB, so even if Jake Delhomme is the QB for the next 10 years the threat of injury is enough to spend a 4th round pick on a potential backup. And Thomas Davis will be on the field somewhere. I don't know what the Panthers have in mind for him other than making tackles. Hopefully, he'll do that all over the field and the position won't matter.
