Bucky Brooks, CBS mock drafts split over Ahmad Gardner, Charles Cross

The Panthers potentially using their No. 6 overall draft pick on Cincinnati cornerback Ahmad Bradshaw may not sound as farfetched as I once thought.

Last week I was a little surprised when NFL.com’s Daniel Jeremiah sent Gardner to the Panthers. After investing their first rounder in South Carolina’s Jaycee Horn last season, I just don’t see the pick as a wise use of a first rounder, particularly with glaring needs at offensive line and quarterback.

But Jeremiah isn’t the only one who sees the Panthers taking a cornerback in the first round for the second straight year.
