Panthers to meet with Breshad Perriman

[CarolinaCoolin]

He isn't a first round pick, Einstein. Clearly, no one believes he's worth a Top 15 pick. That said, teams like Oakland and Cleveland (both have shown considerable interest) are dumb enough to take anybody who runs a solid 4.3 at the combine.

No one believes he's worth a first round pick? That's the route you are going to go with?

[Rags]

I only had two vids to go on but

 

fug it, he's worth a first round try.

 

This pass season he had to deal with Keenan Allen's senior year abysmal QB play and you saw how that killed his stock. Perriman's ascended despite the fact his QB was hot ass.

 

He adjusts to the ball way better than I initially thought. in the videos I watched he mad some clutch catches in coverage that shows why he's getting attention. 

 

He also is really tough and reliable over the middle and getting hit. He has some shiftiness to make guys miss and get YAC. And while he is a deep threat, he never played at that 4.24 speed everyone brings up. He is fast though, amazingly so for a guy his size.  

 

I'd like to see some footage of him against more physical DBs, because like I mentioned for Agholor, I see them being a problem, though not as much. He was redirected off his routes a few times in the videos I watched and that's concerning, but time n the weight room and time with Ricky Proehl and he'll be more than fine.

 

One thing I am a sucker for: NFL Bloodlines i feel like having a parent or sibling you can turn to get you prepared for the NFL. Brett Perriman was a very good WR for the Lions, and I feel like that helps Breshad immensely.

 

All in all, if Perriman was a name a lot of you heard all season, rather than towards the tail end, you'd be fine with him. The comparisons to Hill are ridiculous, as Hill had waaaaaaaaaaaay less of a repertoire coming out than Perriman did, who improved every year he played at UCF

Check out Bortles videos from last year to get a better idea on Perriman. I agree with what you said tho. I'd love to snag him at 25. 

[firefox1234]

Hope we snag this guy, him and KB will grow well together and Cam needs playmakers.

doesn't seem like the panthers (ie gettleman) has a first round (or at least a top 25) grade on him. would you rather they compromised and picked him well ahead of where they think he should be and ahead of guys they (ie gettleman) consider to be legit first round (or at least top 25) talent?

 

or would you rather they trust their own ability to evaluate talent and choose a legit talent at that spot and, once again, nail it on their first pick.

 

now realize that despite the love for the guy or how dead set you might be that we take a WR with the first pick, perriman might not be as good as you think he might be.

 

for a second round pick, he'd be a steal and i can see us moving up to get him and i wouldn't blink. but....if there is someone that they think could be better at 25 and fits one of our several needs or would be a true stud, then i'm all for it. i've learned that gettleman knows what he's doing and is building an incredible team and if one or two of his picks goes against the direction i think they should take, i'm going to absolutely defer to their judgment because they absolutely know more than i or any of you guys in here.

Can you substantiate that first sentence for me please?

[Ivan The Awesome]

So if Perriman is there when we pick in the second, will the huddle collectively bust a nut if he's picked? Or collectively pop a brain cell when he's not picked?

Neither you, Jeremy or anyone on the Huddle knows what type of grade that Gettleman has given Perriman, and that's just the fact of the matter.  We can only assume that he is still trying to figure out where Perriman is graded, somewhere along the scale during rounds 1 and 2.  It just doesn't even make any sense from an intellectual standpoint for Gman to have even assigned a permanent grade to Perriman until he is worked out. 

 

 

 

I find it funny that some of the same people who swore up and down that Benjamin was not a first round pick are saying the same things about Perriman.  Do some people not learn, or do they just think that people forget?  And the thing is, it is OK to be wrong, but at least admit you were wrong and show a little reluctance to go down the same ignorant path.

[top dawg]

I don't know if they will go WR again in the first with such a deep draft at wideout.

 

You may be absolutely correct. I don't know. But I think that it's solely going to be determined by who else is available, perhaps basically falls to us, when we pick.  It was an even deeper class last year, at least from a quality standpoint, and he turned in his Benjamin card with the quickness.  

 

Gettleman just may surprise us.  He is keenly aware that Cam needs another legitimate weapon or two in the receiving corps, and I am pretty sure that he is not going to solely rely on Boykin or Ginn to fill that need.  Now we already have some projects at WR who may or may not pan out, so I'd be surprised if he adds another couple of projects/JAGs to the mix by waiting until the later rounds unless he is sure (and i mean sure) that this person can fulfill that need as a starter this coming season. 

[davos]

I don't know what it is but I just don't like him or want him as a prospect.

 

Same with Conley in mid rounds. 

[Roebling]

I think Perriman could provide a lot just by being on the field. He makes you respect the vertical game, and that's one of the big things we are missing. Speed in general. He really fits exactly what we would want on the other side. Not many teams can deal with measurables that both Benjamin AND Perriman bring to the table. I'm not sure if Perriman will ever be a #1, who knows, but even at his worst, he provides something we desperately need on the other side of Benjamin. 

[Jeremy Igo]

Can you substantiate that first sentence for me please?

 

 

I can, they don't. 

 

 

They may like him in the second round though. 

[Panthro]

I'll be interested if his value changes post visit but I doubt it.

[top dawg]

One only has to look at history to know that no one outside the FO knows how Gman grades a prospect during anytime in the process, and won't know until the draft is done (if then).

Gman keeps his business as close to the vest as anyone in the league, and his charges in the FO respect him and the process to a fault. No analyst, reporter, blogger, message board member, or anyone that doesn't directly need to know will know how he grades a player, pre or post-workout.

This is the way it should be and has to be in his office. And if you think about it, it just makes sense (particularly when you draft late in a round, not that Gman is any different when he drafts at whatever position).

This is just the way it is. You only have to look at history and how Gman and the Panthers run their business to know that what I am saying is the absolute truth.
