They have him rated as the 13th overall player in their top 99.

I also think he could be another Andre Johnson type receiver with his combination of size, strength and speed. He's not as fast as Johnson or as polished, but I really think he could be an elite wideout early in his career.
I'm not an insider with espn.com so if anyone has their scouting report, that would be nice.

Hankerson is a great reciever, dont know if a first rounder, but a great mid round selection. Everytime I saw the Canes play over the last couple years, easily the best player on the field on the offensive side.

With the #10 overall pick, I'm looking to take the best player. I'm not going to get suckered into just thinking "well, we need to build our OL so let's just take a lineman here even if he doesn't need to be drafted this high"

I like to think its the best player availible at current needs, so a mix of the both. DL, OL, QB, LB, WR or RB.....damn thats a sh*t ton of needs

I think I/we are hesitant on the best player available method due to Vinny's philosophy. It's probably a good philosophy but unfortunately Vinny couldn't scout well enough/draft well enough to give us good results.

But I do agree w/ the method. If there's no OL/DL that grade out, go w/ the best available. Since we have a need at almost every position it should be easy.

I would try and move down.

Let the choir sing!!!

I really hope we don't draft any wr's within the first two rounds. NO MORE FREAKIN' WR'S.

We won't get Luck because we'll be better next year. Get my a big tall WR like AJ Green or Julio Jones or if they see a QB, go get him. I don't care, I've been screaming that we need to go find our guy since I turned on Jason.

Go find a guy and let him play. Build the rest of your team while he grows. We can't be afraid to draft early. Drafting later does not make a guy any more guaranteed than one before him. There's a lot of luck in this game as well.

Scared money don't make money. Hey Smoot, any chance we take one of the WR's at 10 ?

I love Rock Charmichael, but what caught my attention about this article was that he picked Locker in 7 on 7 drills. Don't want to read too much into a simple practice pick, but the fact is a lot of people are watching.

I'm curious if the moderators started a new poll, on which position we should draft at #10, what the results would be. Seems to be a ground swell to draft a pass rushing end or OLB. There also seems to be another camp that is hell bent on a QB. Let the current QB post run it's course then let's see this one next.

We can make that our next poll, we'll do it in a couple of days

I'm reading a lot of stuff here about Locker and us possibly getting Woodley, and all these other scenarios.

- I don't want Locker, I agree he looks like a bust to me, but I also don't want Beck or Grossman. Newton is such a boom or bust prospect that his bust potential scares me.

- I would love LaMarr Woodley on this team. However, I don't see it happening, I feel like if the Steelers franchise one guy it would be him.

- However adding to that point, I do think that we could definitely go after Ike Taylor their corner.

- Keep in mind people, the Steelers drafted all these great players on there team, as did the Packers. Free Agency is if your one player away from the Super Bowl, like the Saints with Darren Sharper. We're like 10 players away from the Super Bowl, we have what 7 draft picks, theres a start. We won't be playing in February for at least another couple of years.

No thanks on Ike Taylor.
