Full disclosure, was not at all a fan of this pick in the 2nd BECAUSE I generally view him as being very limited in his pass rush ability. 

That said, he does have the makeup to be very capable of replacing Clowney, long term.

Lost your pie with that landing. You are incorrect. Go back and watch Purdue. Bro is nasty with a motor on Nos!

hope this hasn't been posted.  This is our new Panther.  Love the attitude

Lol, was posting this at the same time. You got me. I love it too!

He probably called them up with a little humility, instead phone chats during his whole interview and telling another team maybe I don't fit in here.

The 3 Bleacher Report guys gave that pick an A+. One of them is Conner Rodgers.

114 + 146 is about equal to pick 99 on the draft value chart. If he's still there at that point, seems silly not to try to make that happen. 

Looks like their done for the night. Already in Panther Press Conference.

Dude is straight out of 70's porn!

Stranger Granger. Bown chicka bow wow.

I was thinking the same thing this morning. For his size his run D is excellent as well.

My bad, your right.

If Carter is gone, Graham will be there. Facts.

Honestly Im just posted that in support of smithslawnguy during his continued drug/booze fueled bender....

Besides Tmac and burden, I've done near nothing on WR. * I did dive some on golden some after the combine, but less than two hours. Life-style changed a few years ago, Im just quit doing deep dives into the whole draft. 

My current system is the following- top 50 consensus and mock drafts sims. The key is the mock drafts now, I research some of the players around each Panther pick. Its cheating, but no longer am I disappointed come draft days.

 

I can appreciate the booze bender, not on the drugs. Dude is worth taking Look at. He is the blazer that we need!

If we miss this guy It's as bad as last year. He is really good. Like easily  he could be Ladd Mckonnkey say that's not a good comp.

Got that 4.39 too.

You must have researched him to know this--I said I would research him.  And there are trades, etc. during the draft--you really need to know the full board. 

Dude is legit. Probably top 5 receiver.

This guy is it. I'd love him in the second but we may have to move up. Watch him and  his speed, break, burst breaks, n come back are ridiculous. That's what we need! Dude can fire from outside or slot. If you don't see it. Keep smoking.

Scouting Report: Summary

The tape shows a player whose future in the NFL lies inside at guard, where his massive frame and power-based skill set can be maximized while minimizing his athletic limitations. Savaiinaea's experience at tackle provides valuable versatility, but his combination of size, power, and technical refinement projects him as a potential day-one starter at right guard in a gap-heavy run scheme.

His proficiency in pass protection will translate well to the interior, where his patient hands and natural anchor will shine against defensive tackles. While he needs technical refinement in the run game, particularly with pad level and leverage, his raw power and understanding of angles suggest significant upside as he transitions inside. Smart money has him landing with a team that emphasizes downhill running and values offensive line versatility, potentially stepping in as a starter by mid-season of his rookie year.

Given his frame, technical foundation, and three years of high-level starting experience, Savaiinaea profiles as a solid day-two selection who could outperform his draft position. His ceiling might be capped by athletic limitations, but his floor as a reliable interior starter makes him a valuable investment for teams looking to solidify their offensive line.

This site (NFL Draft Buzz, I think) projects to G.

This guy is a boss. I watch a YouTube clip and this guy breaks down his life. Kuddos to you.

Dude plays right  tackle running back and receiver. Welcome in Jonah Savaiinea. If anyone is smart enough. Put up his reel. Sorry guys bored of our same ole subjects.

Good lord.  Are we seriously this bad at hiding our cards?

Well if true. Not really a problem. No other team is dumb enough to take him before 8.

Duke Florida would be fun. The Gators look fantastic 

First time since 1975 only one ACC team made it to the second round. Duke looked great though. Don't see anyone beating them. Been a fan since the Danny Ferry days.

Problem is he is more of a strong safety which is Muerig. Starks would probably fit need more.

I mean he fits this team perfectly. I have considered the possibility that a S might be the pick for sometime now. The edge talk has drowned out any other position talk except the TE Warren. They only reason to consider not to go defense at 8 is if a generational talent on offense is there. Most seem to think that's Warren. So for now I'm going with Emannwori as the front runner.

I quit saying it when people told me he is a second rounder. I call B.S.

I wouldn't be pissed if it was Mykel Williams but Shemar Stewart HARD PASS. Sick of the 'tweener light in the loafers type

6'6 291 is no tweener. He has just never done shizz but his size is ideal for a 4-3 end. Don't see where he'd fit in here though except the end of the bench.

Unless he is Ben Rothlisraper,  how is Mike Green not a top 10 lock? 17 sacks, 100% effort on every play, great measurables. Marshall be damned. You think that guy wouldn't have more than 4 1/2 sacks in 3 years at A&M? Panthers, please stop just looking at the panty parade and look for some production! 

Anyway, the Tet haters should be thrilled with this 40 time. As a Tet believer, I at least believe it should put him in play at 8 for us as another option if our guys are gone. That 40 puts him in play at 4.

Just trying to help. LOL

Thanks but I fully am aware of the difference. It is a bit embarrassing that I was paying so little attention but there are more egregious examples of poor grammar on this board than a few missed homophones for you to chase down.

They're doing their best to get there. 

Did I pass Teach?
