What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?
LinvilleGorge replied to CanadianCat's topic in Carolina Panthers
He's nowhere close to being the best WR if you listen to people who understand playing WR at the NFL level. He was basically just an elite NFL athlete feasting on playing against college competition. He wasn't winning with technique he was just being a lot better athlete than the college DBs. He's an NFL CB who will likely have a handful of plays drawn up for him to contribute situationally on offense, half of them likely just using him as a decoy. -
IMO, The Draft Network has the most comprehensive breakdowns. Now with that said, in hindsight a lot of them are going to prove inaccurate no matter what source you're using. There's always going to be busts and steals in the draft.

Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?
LinvilleGorge replied to micnificent28's topic in Carolina Panthers
Selfishly, I'd LOVE to have Omarion Hampton on this team but after paying Chuba and spending a 2nd rounder in a trade up on a RB last year I just can't justify doing the same again. Hampton won't be there at #57. -

Day three? Sure. First or second day? I hope not. -

True. But it's because he'd pick Ashton Jeanty and fug picking more RBs in the top 10. -

Ask David Tepper's opinion then do anything but that. Call Hurney and ask him while he likes on the 2nd then definitely don't draft that guy. LOL -
They're on the QB struggle bus Mt. Rushmore along with the Bears, Browns, and... hmmm... who would be #4... maybe the Lions? I mean, they did have Stafford but they never accomplished anything with him and then he immediately won a SB as soon as he got traded. LOL

It's honestly not that hard to convince me that Joe Burrow might actually be the best QB in the league he just plays for the Bengals. What Mahomes experienced in the SB Joe Burrow calls just another Sunday. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/19p8H59Dbg/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v

So was Matt Kalil. At least that was the narrative heading into the draft.

If there's one thing for sure about the draft it's that there's no such thing as a sure thing. Unless we're planning on doing something else with Icky I'd be fielding calls to move off of that pick.

Miles Garrett spotted in Charlotte (
LinvilleGorge replied to Jackson113.2's topic in Carolina Panthers
No. fug no. Garrett is a STUD but we just have way too many roster holes in large part because of another massive draft capital trade we made. We'd have half a decade of premium draft picks tied up in two players. -
If Carter and Graham are gone and you don't think T-Mac is a top shelf #1 then I hope we listen hard if the phone is ringing.

A long way to go until draft day. All these "big boards" will change a lot as the media guys get more info leaked from actual scouts.

You have your 15 minutes or whatever on the clock and there's no bonus points for picking early in the clock. If the phones are ringing with offers there's no reason not to hear them out.

Yeah, I do that poo sometimes. I'm fuging awful with names. It's some sort of mental block or something.

If all this smoke around Jalo. walker prices accurate (and smoke around Panthers 1st round draft interests in recent years has been VERY accurate), I sure hope we see him as more of a Micah Parsons type vs. a drop back LB.

That was honestly a big part of Mike Williams' gaudy stats his final year. Johnny Football back there doing Johnny Football things running around like a madman extending plays and turning practically every passing play into a scramble drill. Good luck covering Mike Williams with college DBs in that situation.
-
Poor QB play and obviously being by far and away his team's offensive #1 threat definitely meant good opposing defenses could dedicate a lot of resources towards him. Honestly, I'm not even stumping for drafting the guy. I'm just saying he's a significantly better prospect than the Drake London comp. If you want to say he's lesser than Mike Williams, I'm cool with that. Honestly, yeah I'd have him ranked below him as a prospect myself. I just think he's closer to Williams as a prospect than London.

That's an insult to Matt Doherty. At least he recruited the foundation of Roy Williams' first championship team.

I'll bet everything I own and max out my credit borrowing to bet everything I can scrape together against that.

I mean, we have just been drafting terribly for years no matter what we do. But as long as you're in the job you gotta do what you see as the best path forward.

You can't look at it in a vacuum. Every team is going to have different draft boards laid out based on their prospect evaluations, needs, and the way they perceive prospects fitting into what they're looking for schematically. No team is looking to move down if they perceive great value on the board but oftentimes the perceived value on the board is different between teams and that's when you see trades happen. Maybe somewhere in the middle of the 2nd round there's a team that will view the board and not see great value there for them and they don't see a huge drop off in talent moving down to #57 to pick up an extra mid-round pick or two while on our board we have a prospect circled that just glaringly shouldn't still be on the board per our evaluation and prospect rankings. That's when trades happen. It's all situational.

I see a lot of people making the T-Mac to Drake London comp but... IMO, Mike Evans is the comp. Stats never tell a full story but my point is that Evans and T-Mac were DOMINANT college WRs. London was a good college WR that got over drafted in an overall way over-hyped WR draft class.
