Subject: Question about you 2004 Mock Draft

I am a Carolina Panther fan who is currently off at school in Raleigh, North Carolina, and I have a question about the pick you have the panthers choosing at #31. I just wanted to know why you have the panthers taking Jonathan Vilma, LB, Miami with their pick even though they have picked up two quality linebackers in brandon short, and jessie armstead. If you could respond and let me know why you have them selecting a lineback, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Lou: Jeff, point taken on the LB pickup. You'll notice that I now project the Panthers taking WR Michael Clayton at the #31 spot. I could also see Carolina potentially going with a CB at that spot, but with the depth at WR in this draft, why in the world would the Panthers not want a piece of that action? Steve Smith, Muhsin Muhammad and Michael Clayton sounds like a nice WR trio to me.
