These
Panthers are obviously going for broke
now as they gave up the '09 No. 1.
However, the hole at RB is filled by
Jonathan Stewart, whose toe injury
should not limit him past July. This is
a steal as we think Stewart is going to
be a better pro than DMC. This gives
some life to the downhill running game.
The Panthers then picked up a second No.
1 pick from Philadelphia to grab OT Jeff
Otah, a masher. Solidifies another weak
area. Then LB Dan Connor drops in their
lap in third round with first round
talent as well as a very good corner in
Charles Godfrey.

Yes we know he had surgery and will be out til July.
So What? Jonathon Stewart is just an amazing specimen and had
he stayed a year would be the consensus number one
next year. He is like Superman or something at 6-0
and 230 lbs and freakishly fast and strong (4.34 40
yard time!) He will be a better NFL back than
McFadden.

Otah can be a
mauler in the run game but has also shown flashes of
being a fleet-footed blindside protector, and could
grow into a LT of the future.
Notes: Might just have a higher upside
than any o-linemen in this draft since he started
playing football only as a high school senior.
