The Jaguars GM warriorsrise picked wunder-guard David DeCastro yesterday. Today, the Panthers, led by GM jshapgee, are looking to boost their defense. How would one of the years best rated defensive tackles look in Panther blue?

Michael Brockers, DT, LSU

Pick Grade:

A

"The Panthers have many holes to fill but a big one is DT. That is why I'm picking Michael Brockers, the DT from LSU. The Panthers can fill WR, CB and the guard position during free agency so this is why they need Brockers. "

Analysis after the jump.

Star-divide

If you ever saw Carolina play last year, you understood one thing about them: they need a defense. They had one of the worst defenses in the league. Luckily, they are in a prime position to get the man they want on the defensive side of the ball. Brockers has a lot of upside and the Panthers could certainly use a good defensive tackle to assist one of the worst defenses in the league.

The only problem that you see with this is that Brockers has just one season under his belt as a starter. That can make the transition tougher, but he certainly has the talent to succeed.

Pick 8 is history! If you missed any of the previous picks, or want to see what trades have been made so far, check out the full schedule. If you are GM and would like to see dbcouver's awesome Big Board, go here.

are we behind

a day? because it says I pick tomorrow, but the dolphins are ahead of me. should I still send you my pick, tomorrow or wait until Tuesday?

Get your pick to Eric ASAP
I have one.pick i need to put up

Im going to try and get us caught up

i saw it

reiff correct? if that’s the case I can give you my pick now

Brockers and Johnson

That would make for a good pair of D linemen

Reach I gave it a D

not good, don’t see him doing much. Just another LSU d lineman in the NFL that won’t do much.

Is it too late for me to create a 33rd team

and draft last in the 1st? I promise I’ll leave the Rams the 33rd, if they didn’t already trade it away!

and by 33rd (for the Rams)

I mean the player they would’ve picked. My Alexandria Appletinis would clearly be picking 33rd in this scenario

Alexandria Appletinis?

Wow. That’s just…. That’s just awful.

You think so?

I gave it about 3 seconds worth of thought, so I can go back to the drawing board if necessary

Go back to that drawing board.
I'll think about it

I’m halfway through stitching my first jersey. I’m replacing an olive with a football…

…I’m a beer guy myself, but the metrosexual is where the money’s at!

There's already a mertosexual team in San Francisco.
close

wrong type of sexual

Not sure what other sexual there is.
How about the

Alexandria Axle Roses?

No. Also are you implying that the San Francisco team is a gay team?
Say whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

Nooooooooooooo

OK good because I don't want a bunch of angry gay guys E-Mailing me nasty things because they were insulted.
off topic

but there is an ad now that just jumps out on the screen, if i scroll down: it follows.
First with that half-naked dude with a ski mask (fine), then to mobile ads (mess-up my phone and I have to refresh, but still: fine)….now we have ads that literally take over the whole front screen?!
I know that SBNation has to pay the bills, but seriously?! An ad that I have close before being able to read what’s on the front page?
It’s getting annoying. I haven’t complained about the ads (not true, on the Beavers site they keep posting ‘Ducks to Rose Bowl’ ads), but I am kinda annoyed.
Sorry, Ryan, I know it’s not your fault, at all, but I hope you can pass this along.

even after I read it and posted it sounded bitchy.
It is
sorry man

but it just annoyed me

on topic

I’m still “grr” for not being in this.
I can’t say “Mad” or “Disappointed” cause I’m just, “Grr, could’ve had better picks”-type of mood.

Aren't the falcons and saints still available?
well first I wanted the Pack

then Doug (not db) wanted help….and now I’m here.

db? Who?
'couver
I don't think you needed to elaborate what doug you needed to help.
aight, sorry
Why sorry?

What ever.
