CJ Spiller? Or any other late 20s running back that will require a contract in the millions?

No thanks.

Mid round, 1 cut back who can hit a hole and is durable is what we need. 

Given 28 is our projected starter the rookie will see the field a lot in 2015.

In the last 3 years Stewart has played in 9, 6, and 13 games. Making plans for Jonathon Stewart to be your every down back over the course of a 16 game season is idiotic.

Didn't Gettleman tell DWill the reason we were letting him go is because we don't run the ball enough to justify having 2 high paid RBs on the roster? If that's the case, what's the logic I. Then going and signing a guy like Spiller? It's not gonna happen...hopefully that money goes to upgrading WR and OLine.

 

That statement made no sense from Gman, we ranked 3rd, 4th, 7th and 8th in rushing attempts the last 4 years.

 

Maybe he was specifically referring to 34's carries compared to his cost which makes a little more sense.

Hate to say it but you might need glasses.

I already have a pair. I see fine out of them.

That being said, I don't get this hype train for someone that got stuffed at the line more than he didn't. Two or three breakout plays doesn't change that for me.

Dwill did not justify his pay.  You can't stay on the team if you can't play.  Stewart will be next if he can't play 16 games .  the main thing is the O-line.  You can have a probowl RB and look like poo if the line doesn't open up.  Dwill could not get past the first defender while Stewart had the legs to break the first defender.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I understand the concerns--he is not P. Sewell or Joe Thomas.  He has technique issues and was not great in the run game and was good in pass protection when UGA did not pass much.  Then there is the immediate need vs long term need perspective.   I did not see Freeland being there-frankly. Here is why:   He has nearly 35" arms and his hands are large (10.5").  He ran a 4.93 40 at the combine.  He is very agile.  His vertical was 33.5".   Physically, he is a freak. He is 21 and he seems very intelligent (coachable). You have to remember, some of these rookies are 24, 25 years old. Freeling is A team player.  His shortcomings are fixable.  Short arms (as with the kids from Utah and Miami) are not fixable.  The Run on OTs began at #9: Fano (picked 10 picks earlier) has 32" arms and his hands are 9".  He did not play in the SEC like Freeling.  Many think the short arms project him to guard. Mauigoa (picked 10th) has 33" arms.  He is a solid player, but his arms make him borderline as a T (they seek 34" and up as ideal)  Kayden Proctor (picked 12th overall) struggled in pass protection and projects by many to RT or G.  Weight management is a concern. So it is possible that Freeling will be the first LT taken who actually plays LT.  (he also has the ability and experience to play RT)  His questions are fixable and not limited to physical limitations.  Here is the question:  If you know that you need a Tackle, and you could choose between all four of these players, who would you pick? I am not sure that Freeling would not be the player I selected if given the opportunity to take any of them.

      The more I think about this pick the more I like it. The Icky injury might end up being a blessing in disguise for everyone except Icky unfortunately. If Freeling pans out at LT the Panthers have a good player on a rookie contract at a premium position at a time when they’re going to need to potentially pay Bryce for his next contract. Icky was likely going to command a big salary jump for his next contract and now, there’s a strong justification he’s not going to be worth a big money extension until he rehabs and proves he can still play at a high level. Since he’s finishing his rookie deal this season, it will be interesting to see if the Panthers bring him back for the 2027 season. Obviously it’s too early to say and they will probably wait to see how the season pans out with Moton still elite but aging and clearly battling persistent injuries, and they need to see if Freeling can develop into a starter during his rookie year. But ultimately this might have opened up a huge chunk of salary cap for the next 4-5 years.

      You read my mind Nastradamus! If Rodriguez is still there I feel like it will be hard to pass on him. And one of these TE we keep drafting have to hit eventually and Delp is just as good as the others.
