Even though the Panthers already had picked Jimmy Clausen in the 2nd round they just couldn’t pass up the value in picking Tony Pike.  The Panthers used the 204th overall pick (6th round) in the NFL Draft on QB Tony Pike out of Cincinnati.  Pike steadily got better in college leading his team to the Sugar Bowl last season.  He played in 10 games (9 starts) for Cincinnati last season in which he completed 211 of 338 passes (62.4%) for 2,520 yards with 29 TD passes and 6 INTs.  He played in 27 games (19 starts) in his four years with the Bearcats and he completed 421 of 682 passes (61.7%) for 5,018 yards with 49 TD passes and 20 INTs.  Pike is a skinny guy at 6’5″, 212 pounds but he can make all of the throws.  Many experts had Pike going in the 2nd or 3rd round of the NFL Draft so the Panthers just couldn’t pass up the value they got in him.  Don’t be surprised if Pike pushes Jimmy Clausen and Matt Moore for the starting job at QB in the very near future.
