Humphries reminds me a lot of Morgan Moses last year.  All along, Moses was considered a mid-round prospect, but as the draft got closer and closer there was more and more talk about him sneaking into the 1st round.  He ended up going in the 3rd round.  Kind of where he was thought to be all along.

I don't take Mel Kipers Mock Drafts seriously.I would rather have Ereck Flowers fall to us at # 25. However,DJ Humohries or TJ Clemming's  might not be all that great of a reach. I realize it's early but i would really like to see the order of Gettleman's Draft Board.

The issue isn't putting it on. The issue is keeping it on. Shaq came to Washington at 188 lbs and has been around 215 for his most his career there.

 

You realize TD loses weight throughout the season right? He finishes seasons around 225 ish. He's only about 235 to start out....even if he finished the season at 235 that's seven pounds more than Shaq. Again....stop with this nonsense. Shaq's weight isn't an issue at all.

Then you clearly haven't seen him take on blocks. Shaq bounces off a lot of players for him to be considered a LB. He's a tweener. Thompson is a closet box safety without the experience.

I like him as a DB, but as a Will LB? No.

Again, look at their sizes. TD might lose weight in the off-season but his frame doesn't shrink. That's not the case with Shaq. I swear, you guys love to compare prospects to accomplished guys like Davis or up-and-coming studs like David because of size BUT those two have much larger upper bodies than Shaq. LvD, himself, is 2x thicker than Thompson.

 

I will guarantee you I've seen Shaq take on blocks, cover Tight Ends, diagnose the run, blitz etc etc. Been watching that kid since he was in high school.

One: I didn't compare Shaq to TD

 

Two: I don't draw comparisons based on size. I draw comparisons based on the type of player they are and what they do. 

 

Three: Plenty of people have compared Shaq to TD. It's not an invalid comparison at all. 

 

Four: TD didn't take on blockers regularly his rookie year either. A year in a strength and conditioning program changes a lot. 

 

Stop with the nonsense.

DJ moves WAY better than Morgan. Many thought Morgan would be better suited for the right side. Its the opposite for DJ.

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By CamWhoaaCam · Posted

      Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!

      You do know the biggest military base in the US is located just an hour from Raleigh in Fort Bragg right? Military families are family oriented. A hour drive to games is nothing compared to traveling 3 hours to Charlotte.   Cmon man there is nothing happening in Western Carolina other than Charlotte. I only go west for outdoor activities and some nature/mountain views.
