    The Panthers have signed rookie quarterback Tony Pike, putting six of Carolina's 10 draft picks under contract. Pike is one of three sixth-round choices for the Panthers. He went 16-3 as a starter at Cincinnati and will be part of a crowded QB competition that includes Matt Moore, Hunter Cantwell and second-round pick Jimmy Clausen. Pike's deal Tuesday leaves Clausen, third-round choices Brandon LaFell and Armanti Edwards and fourth-round pick Eric Norwood as the only unsigned rookies. The Panthers report to training camp on July 28.

    All 4 rooks mentioned are good choices. I didn't pay much attention to the Panthers's draft, but the ones mentioned on the post are all awesome value picks.

    eric norwood and lafell are great picks....they are a pretty good draft and pike has potential to be a valuable trade guy down the road if he shows something and bulks up a bit

    I liked Pike coming out...actually hoped he'd be the Steelers "token" QB pick this year. He's a project. He's got a nice arm and has good accuracy. Played in the shotgun a lot in Cincy. I could see him sticking around as a third string or practice squad guy.
