Don't the Panthers know that the Panthers would never give a Clemson player a shot?

Classy. And not that I'm choosing a side, but pretty sure only argument was about drafting, not trying out or even playing for.
Go Tigers!

And this is a lame attempt to quell the anti-panthers sentiment. But we aren't so easily fooled.

Didn't they sign Peters or some DB to a practice squad contract or something last year. They cut him before the season though as I recall.

I can't see any team not taking a guy that looks to be better than what they have just bc they went to Clemson. I just don't see that happening!!!

A shot was all he wanted. As we all know the draft has become overrated in many aspects. Tons of great players have made it that were not drafted. Hope they both do great!

In the Draft, a given team comes up to pick and they are looking for a specific type of player at the specific time .... ie we need and a DE, never mind that there are 5 great OL available, we already fine on that .... its all a timing, who's picking, what they want thing. Thus, that's why many great players "fall through the cracks".

On the next year draft, do anybody see Ben Boulware not getting drafted? He has been a monster for us, but will his size not cut it for NFL teams?

Hard to say... But look at this year's draft. There were only 2 prospects listed under 6ft, neither got drafted.
And despite racking up 46.5 tackles for loss, 23 sacks and 12 pass break-ups over three years as a starter for the Sooners - one of them was Eric Striker. He is listed at 5'11" 227 with a 4.8 40 speed. Odds are definitely against you being a linebacker under 6ft in today's game unfortunately.
