T.J. Clemmings OT Pitt

I think he could be a good player and one of the few guys that could play LT down the road.

 

I like La'El Collins better then Erick Flowers and Andrus Peat(who is also raw), but if those guys are gone Clemmings wouldn't be a bad pick.  We would need a different option at LT going into the season though.

 

I think I would rather have Ogbuehi, considering both wouldn't contribute much in their first season.

Very Raw but not quite to Moses level.  If we already had a Solid LT who had a few years left, id bite on grabbing him in the 1st ala Otah, to start him at RT to break him into the league.  We have a couple other position of needs.

We name a ton of WRs we want in FA, but WRs don't come cheap.  Gettleman won't jump and overpay a guy (see Nicks who everyone wanted last year, that Indy paid more and he did no more than our #2).  This years WR class is stacked much like last year  One of White, Parker, or Strong would be more beneficial for us than Raw Clemmings being thrown into protecting Cams blindside.

Do not want at #25. That'd be a reach imo and I don't see GMan doing that. 

 

To me 1st round picks, especially in the Panthers case, should be starters, especially if you go OL and he still has a lot of development to do and I don't see him as a Day 1 starter.

Everyone here has repeated what the reports are, not much to add.

Mike mayock will/should change his ranking at any time. He's one of the best at ranking all these 1,500 or so players, which is near impossible.

Clemmings is raw, but I've also heard he has the highest ceiling out the Ts. He needs coaching and time...... that's the issue. He was getting beat near every time on inside moves during senior bowl. That can be fixed, along with his other problems. What's scary is he's a leaner jeff otah........ he must prove football is important to him and have a huge passion for being a professional NFLer. Otah got injuried and out of shape, took a look at the few million sitting in the bank...... he quit.

Dave has said, these rookies have to ready to play right now. I believe he was talking about rounds 1-3. But the panthers share a problem with clemmings, they pick 25. If the OL coaches believe they can get clemmings ready, then its a match.

The big kid from Auburn, Greg Robinson, last year did not start at LT, they moved him inside.  He will eventually get there and he was taken I think 2nd overall.

 

What coaches will do is ascertain his ability to learn.  He has little football background, but all the measureables.  IF we think he can be coached and use the God given abilities he has, then it is not a reach at 15, much less 25.  If he cannot be coached, then you pass

Idk, he had a lot of love around media and fans, and then the Senior Bowl week happened. He looked awful, but I don't think he would be a reach at 25 nor would I be opposed, neccesarily.

 

For me, I'd take him after Flowers and Peat. I believe Collins won't be an option, so I'm not even mentioning him. 

 

He's super athletic, strong and a ton of potential. He's the kind of prospect that if he kills the combine, all of a sudden he's knocking on the door of the top-15 again.

    • You don’t even need 1b because Tepper is the only one foolish enough to wheel that deal.    Player wise? Jake’s elbow. JR and Pep getting sideways, no Carruth, Cam’s shoulder, Luke’s concussions, it would be a long list of stuff. You can take it down to certain plays in games. Fox chasing 2 point conversions in the SB would be on my list. RMJr slipping at the end of that same game was not helpful. 
    • Ultimately this just amounts to heavy revisionist history. I mean you aren't talking to someone that just popped out the womb a week ago. I was here all throughout the predraft process. The overwhelming majority of the fanbase felt like this was a fine situation and the best situation for a rookie QB to go to compared to Houston for example. The hype for Young and our "rockstar" staff was off the charts. No one could dare speak cautious skepticism of his abilities or they would be neg repped into oblivion. Only after he had one of statistical worst rookie seasons of the last 25 years did we get this narrative now that his rookie season actually shouldn't count. Complete malarkey if you ask me.
    • On the field? Since I guess it qualifies as multiple instances it might not count, but have the damn refs throw some flags on illegal hits to Cam's head in SB50. If that doesn't count, 1A. Cotchery caught it 1B. Kasey keeps that kickoff inbounds. Off the field? 1A. Team is sold to anyone but Tepper 1B. We have the patience not to mortgage the franchise on that Bryce trade. Stroudwpuldve been the better pick but he's not worth it either.
