Finally, the 5th Round is here
It's been a long wait since the early third round, but it's almost time for the Panthers to pick again .
Minnesota just made the 137th pick, taking Southern Cal QB John David Booty.
Carolina chooses 141st.
Only one player remains from the Observer's Top 100 -- Boise State CB Orlando Scandrick (82).
The Panthers might not take another DB unless it's a straight value pick.
Here's an intriguing possibility: FB Owen Schmitt of West Virginia. He's the top-rated pure fullback in the draft and is an excellent lead blocker. He'd add to the physical, tough, power-football mantra of this draft for the Panthers.

Thanks for the GREAT coverage of the draft. It has to be DeMarrio Pressley or Owen Schmidt. IMO. It is looking like we'll be picking up a FA DT or 2.

I would take Owen Shmidt but they wont pick him but he would be perfect to block for D Will and Jon Stewart behind Otah.

The Panthers will regret not taking Schmitt. He would have been PERFECT for this team. Fox/Hurn have never been good at evaluating lower round players.
