Phillip Dorsett to meet with Panthers


LUUUUUKE

Recommended Posts

I think this has been confirmed before but regardless, he's an interesting prospect.  I don't trust a lot of the perceived speedy WR prospects but I'd put Dorsett ahead of Lockett and Bell.  He really has that burst that can clear a defense beyond just the college level.

How are his hands they ask? His hands are teh amazing! He's as clutch as they come when you need a 3rd down conversion. He played against CBs projected to go in the 1st and smoked them.

I would absolutely love it if we are fortunate enough for him to be there in the second, but I don't think he will be. The mocks have him and Duke Johnson on the board much further down than I think both will be taken. There has been 0 buzz surrounding either if them, but mark my words, they will both be highly successful at the next level.

You've been hearing that from me for weeks though.

J jones posted a vine to his Twitter of Dorsett running an in and out route in the end zone, going after the ball with his hands, and seemingly getting two feet down. It looked pretty but then again "game isn't played in ya undawear"

Seems like a dude who might go in the first as the hype picks up?

 

 

 

 

Dorsett enters the draft as a senior, which the system penalizes and also "lacks a year of the extremely good production that is typical of the senior wide receivers who go on to succeed in the NFL," wrote FO's Nathan Forster. Dorsett was likened historically by Playmaker to Mark Clayton and James Jones. The Hurricane ranks No. 47 on Daniel Jeremiah's Top 50, and ESPN's Mel Kiper wrote recently that Dorsett is "clearly in the Round 1 mix."

    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
    • Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.
    • Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
