Quick Facts

Jewelers Tiffany & Co., based in New York, are responsible for making the Super Bowl trophy

   8 p.m. As is normally the case this time of the year, the Carolina Panthers are attending Pro Day workouts for many of the top college prospects.

   On Tuesday, Panthers coach John Fox, defensive coordiantor Mike Trgovac and defensive line coach Sal Sunseri were in Gainesville, Fla., to watch Florida defensive end Derrick Harvey, a player many mock drafts have the Panthers taking with the 13th overall pick.

   Meanwhile, in the Northeast, general manager Marty Hurney, offensive line coach Dave Magazu and director of college scouting Don Gregory were taking a closer look at Boston College offensive tackle Gosder Cherilus. He's considered a low first-round or early second-round pick.

   Don't read too much into any of these visits since the Panthers will likely meet with most of the top 25 picks or so at some point.

I think that Harvey is a good pick, but it's not where I invision us going if we're smart at all.

Many analysts think we need a DE in the draft, but I just don't think that is the case. We have a 3rd round pick in Charles Johnson who is waiting in the wings and I think will be a starter this year.

I think the biggest need is LT. If (for some strange reason) we don't or can't pick up a starting LT in the draft, could we move Wharton back to LT? I know it's not optimal, but it could happen. Remember how we were going after a FS last year?

They also went to Williams' Pro day and Clady's. I think Harvey is the 1st pick and Cherilus is the 2nd pick if those two are gone. Unfortunately there are not too many DT's that are with taking at the 13th.
