Lemon also returns punts/kicks too. It would be a miracle for him to fall to 19 in my opinion even with all the alleged baggage.

Last home game of the season, Fan Appreciation Night. Let's roll! https://youtu.be/RYnFIRc0k6E?si=l8SOtr1rmTBSOuXi

Of course. Why would any receiver who has the ability not be elusive and avoid the tackle? You're trying to make it seem like he's some week receiver that gets touched by an arm and goes down and struggles to make contested catches, but that's simply not the case. Is he more elusive than strong? Of course. But the fact is that most receivers aren't going to have a bunch of highlights breaking tackles. Steve Smith is not the norm, but even Concepcion has a few highlights, including where he wouldn't go down and basically dragged a defender in the end zone.

Wouldn't mind as a UDFA

I feel the same. OK, tell me which OT is on your radar if you were the GM--

I can agree with this statement if you really like the OT who is available. The fact that they are "rare" (along with QB, Edge) positions to find should also play into it. If we have a roster that allows for BPA, you should (as you say) consider the difficulty it takes to find a replacement. Furthermore, you don't want a rookie playing LT--regardless of who it is. All that to demonstrate how I get the decision to draft a T if they like the player and have a need that could be worse than I understand right now. Morgan signed a starting LT and a swing T in free agency. He signed a starting Center. We also need a "Z" WR, DT, S, TE and LB. Of those, we need 3 starters for 2026 (Z-WR, LB, S) and 2 rotational players (DT, and TE). C and OT are the only players who, if we draft them, are likely to sit and not start or work into a rotation. The Panthers seem to be in "Win Now" mode. For that reason, I do not see OT or C being drafted until the last day.

They tried to sabotage him with that old video clip about him not watching film.

Predict, no. But that monstrosity of a knee brace has scared me since Moton went with it as standard part of his equipment.. And his age is not helping him. He just worries me. Like riding on bald tires.

This type of comment reminds me we really did well with T Mac. He is not a diva type at all. And it is such an occupational hazard with WRs.

I would think the surgeon would have a prognosis about recovery time and opine on the success of the surgery. As for Moton, we have been monitoring his knee for some time. How is it too early? You are collecting as much information as possible to develop a strategy on the draft. Nobody can predict anything ever--I think you misunderstood my comment--not sure I was as clear as I needed to be.

It would be a great joke to play on us.

LOL! I still would've loved to have seen if Johnny Manziel could've transitioned to the NFL with an actual head on his shoulders. Johnny Football didn't translate. We know that. But could that skill set with a sober, logical mindset and NFL QB work ethic have worked? I don't think we ever got to find out because he was a complete knucklehead and never gave himself a chance to pan out.

Lol

Not sure he’s big enough to fill Bryce’s shoes if Bryce goes down

Hear me out we need a young guy to compete. Would yall rather have just Pickett? If we get Pavia as a UDFA we would be very lucky.

wtf?

He's a dude on the field, but I would be doing a ton of research about him character-wise. I could see some teams worrying about him in the locker room after how poorly his interviews have reportedly gone.

Well, one thing is true... We clearly want to walk away from the draft/undrafted free agency with a guy we believe we can develop. This is the 3rd top 30 visit with a QB and the 4th notable visit with one.

Can he play C?

You don’t really draw offenses up like this anymore, at least not if you’re good. you want guys who can play inside out or anywhere in the field to mix things up. Concepcion doesn’t have the ideal frame to play outside, but he’s not small either and it looks like he charted really well on what are considered more perimeter routes last season.

Per Ian Rapoport https://x.com/RapSheet/status/2041496812469551198?s=20 I am sure this thread will be fun

Yeah, once it became clear that Donovan wasn't gonna make a decision in time we had to pivot off of that. Hiring Donovan would've basically meant eating a wasted season and getting a new era off to a horrible start because we would've lost a lot in the portal and basically had to try to piece together a roster out of absolute portal leftovers. It would've probably been the least talented roster we've ever put on the court, an absolute embarrassment, and might've given 8-20 a run for its money for worst UNC bball team ever. You can't start off a new coaching hire already in the wrong side of 60 like that.

We have a mole folks. Thanks for the info…interesting. I like the guy they got personally.

I’d argue Robinson is the biggest bust because of going number 2 overall never being good at any point and being far more famous for his exploits as a drug dealer after his career than a football player. But bortles played 8 years in the league, and at least had a couple of decent seasons, one of which included a playoff run that ended because of a very questionable call that favored the patriots. You could at least say there was some value to his career. I’d call manziel a bigger bust than bortles though because of the hype he got, the fact that Cleveland did have to give up a third round pick to get him at 22, and what a disaster he was off the field (and not good on it). Skipping concussion protocol where he was supposed to stay in Cleveland to go party in Vegas while wearing a fake mulllet, glasses, and a mustache thinking he wouldn’t get recognized at a casino and night club.
