Panthers dine with Shaq Thompson

[Growl]

I just get really excited of what Ron and Sean could do with a Kam type of player.

Except Chancellor actually Safety. Thompson is a player who doesn't play safety and refuse to play safety but gets brought up as a safety because Huddlers decided he should be or something at the bowling rally back in January.

So even if we were to draft an OLB in the first, which would be awful in and if itself, there would be better options at that position available.

The line where you write in the tip, Gettleman probably puts "low funds due to previous management. No tip, sorry :("

He is refusing to play Running Back not Safety. 

He has played Safety.

He prefers to play LB but has stated he would play S which means we have a Swiss army knife that our D coaches can get creative with.

And we were all bowling with a bunch of NFL Scouts and GM's it was fun....cute line though.

...both options seem logical and could pair well with Trai Thomas to shore up the OLine

Oops.

I guess they were trying to make it colorful and interesting, but it didn't really work.

The Falcons told Shaq Thompson that they see him as "a Kam

Chancellor type"

Q: Have any teams said they prefer you at safety?

No. Most teams I talked to said weakside linebacker. The Falcons (thought I am) more like a Kam Chancellor type, so kind of like the linebacker role. There's just different views, but at the end of the day I just want to get drafted. It doesn't matter what position, I just want to have the opportunity to compete.

Q: What have coaches said they liked, and what do they think you need to improve?

What they like: I'm athletic. I'm able to cover tight ends and running backs, I can play in the open field. I'm also able to play weakside backer -- inside backer and WILL backer, whatever you want to call it. So pretty much the same thing. I can cover, I can play in space. Athletic for a WILL linebacker, and that's what most teams said they need. And the only thing they really said bad was just getting off of blocks."

Will be really upset if Failbirds, or anyone for that matter, drafts Shaq before our pick.

2nd round yes. 1st round no.
