Carolina Panthers
#19 Overall (Acquired from Philadelphia for their 2008 2nd and 4th round picks and their 2009 1st round pick)
Jeff Otah (OT) Pitt
Great draft for the Panthers. They paid through the nose to get Otah but he'll team with Jordan Gross to give the Panthers their much needed bookend tackles. Stewart will team with DeAngelo Williams to give the Panthers back their running game they've been sorely missing. Second best draft next to the Chiefs thus far.
Poor Philadelphia. Seriously. Knowing the Eagles they'll use both of their 2nd round picks on a kicker and a punter just to torture those fans. Otah would have been a pretty good fit and value. It was a touch high for Devin Thomas but a WR is gonna go at some point and then a little run will begin and the best couple of WR's will be off the board quickly. Kenny Phillips would've been reach but he would've filled a huge need and made an impact this year. No way he's on the board halfway through the second round.
All this being said, if the Eagles manage to parlay these picks into Roy Williams, Boldin, Ocho Stinko (shudders uncontrollably) or some other real WR it's all good.
