Bits and pieces from around the league...

PFT reporting that DE Randy Gregory, who weighed only 235 at the combine, showed up for an individual team workout now weighing under 230.

 

I'm guessing he's shooting for a fit on the outside in a 3-4?

You'd think he'd have to be.

A sub 230 DE would be ridiculous.

 

A sub 230 3-4 OLB is also ridiculous. He's a huge bust waiting to happen. At a time when he's supposed to be gaining weight, he lost 10 lbs since he was at 238 at his pro day

Plus the drug concerns.

He honestly seems like kind of a flake.

Yike.  Sub-230 or a pass rusher?  You can get away with that in college, but in the NFL?  Most of the top pass rushers last year in the NFL were 260+.  In fact, there wasn't a single double digit sack guy last year who is listed at a playing weight lighter than 250.  You have to get all the way down to #41 on the sack list to find a guy sub-250 and that's Seattle's Bruce Irvin who's still listed at 248.

 

I just don't know where a 230ish pound pass rushing specialist fits in the NFL.  This guy may be in for an all out free fall in the draft.

Bad news for Boise St RB Jay Ajayi. Reports his med re-check at the combine on his knee did not go well. He injured it in 2011 and can play immediately but there are serious concerns about the long term durability of it and that he may have an abbreviated career. Several teams red flagged him and likely took him off the board. Probably drops him from 2nd-3rd round range to 5th-undrafted range.

it would be a steal getting him in the 5th

Reminds me of another guy whose name escapes me.

He was drafted by the Colts the same year we picked DeAngelo Williams. As I recall, some folks thought that we should have drafted him instead.

Turned out we made the right choice. I don't think he lasted very long in the league.

Remind me, who am I thinking of?

Addai? Did he have medical red flags coming out or are you just comparing the names?

      Looking ahead

      Sellers has bust written all over him..unless he goes to a team that can afford to sit him where he can learn the game and develop without the pressure of starting immediately. Not sure that is the Panthers. If we do go rookie in the draft, he can't be viewed as a day 1 starter. He does have potential, but I think it is going to have to be a handle-with-care situation.

      I’m not sure people understand how fuging bad it is

      Nothing will change with the qb situation until Tepper is convinced Young is not viable. Until that point, it will be Young. During that time, any shortcomings of Young will be because he does not have the necessary supporting cast, and/or coaches are failing him with faulty schemes and defective gameplans.  So, until Tepper is out, Young is in.

      Young is the kind of QB who will go as far as the team drags him 90% of the time. And once in a long while he'll explode and light the opposing team up. That is not anywhere near where we need to be as a team. What' worse is that we've won way too many games this season due to an extremely easy schedule. So we can't select a top QB in the draft, and a free agent QB is usually not the answer.  The Panthers fell victim to a long stretch of bad QBs coming out of college. Even if we had made different moves and selected any number of different QBs coming out, we still would have ended up with a bust most likely. Bryce is a bust. Tua is a bust. Zach Wilson? Yikes. Trey Lance. Justin Fields. Mac Jones. Kenny Picket. CJ Stroud. My point is that a lot of teams were devastated by this stretch of bad QBs coming out of college, but we were dumb enough to trade the farm for one of them.  The smart move? Tale the 2 first round picks from the Rams for Burns, and keep CMC. Sit tight. Whatever QB falls in your lap in the draft, take him. Then use the other two first round picks to build up the o-line on the cheap. This isn't Morning GMing. I said take the Rams deal at the time. We have not had a good GM ever in franchise history.  No more trading up for QBs. Clearly is a total guessing game. Stay put. Trade vets for draft picks and start the rebuilding process with a new GM and new coaches. Cut Bryce and bring him back on a vet min deal. Then cut him again for being trash. He's done here if I had any say.
