    NFL.com has it as the worst pick of the second round:

    "
    Weaknesses

    Base and balance need quite a bit of work from press coverage. Below average, clunky footwork transitioning from press into coverage. Looks unsure of himself against receivers with initial quickness off the snap. Has issues maintaining feel against inside release and gives up too much separation to start the rep. Gets turned too easily in coverage and is sluggish in his change of direction. Gets too locked in on man in front of him and doesn't show innate awareness and instincts. Might not be able to transition to safety. Appears lacking in alpha aggressiveness. In run support, ducks head into contact and doesn't drive through the target. Need to see more hustle and less complacency from him on backside. Waits too long to rally to the ball when it is away from him. Draft Projection

    Rounds 3 or 4"

    That's better than CBS, though. CBS had Bradberry as a 6th round pick.

    To add insult, ESPN provides zero analysis while jumping straight to Denver's pick.

    Any time you can spend a second round pick on a guy who wasn't good enough to play corner for Arkansas State and transferred to FCS Samford so that he could play corner there, you have to do it.

    So he's a big pussy who can't cover. From Samford.

    I love it.

    It's funny to me that so many Panthers fans praise Gettleman's drafts. Aside from Short, Lotulelei, and Turner his draft picks have ranged from poor to laughably terrible.
