Panthers eyeing Lael Collins, asking Trai about him


Recommended Posts

JJ tweeted this earlier as well.

I take all of this with a grain of salt. Panthers coaches and staff will do due diligence with all the players there this weekend. It would not shock me in the slightest to see a DE taken first.

That's said, solid prospect, would be happy with him starting at RT playing next to Trai and developing into to a long term LT. I would not want him to start at LT this season.

Don't think anyone can predict what they will take at 25. It's always a shock but ends up being the perfect pick. Last year they looked at so many people deeply, but then picked KB who it seems they have been hiding in the bushes.

Yeah, they smokescreen well when it comes to their picks.  DG is not going to give any indication before he's on the clock.  Exciting!

After years of Hurney not drafting a 1st round DT settling for the classic Dollar Marty 3-4 rounder/UDFA in the middle, I had instant respect and admiration for Getts when he doubled down that year, finally addressing the obvious. I was on the KB bandwagon with a couple others here and he went out and got him and now look!

What is obvious is we need more talent on the offensive line so this is good to hear. All I've got to say is: double up Dave!

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
