Word on the street: Gurley going top 10

Sean Payton's Vicodin

I actually was starting to warm up to the idea of taking him somehow...  Despite the devaluation of the RB position, where it generally makes no sense to ever take one in the first round again, there are exceptions when it comes to REALLY exceptional talents...  Gurley is one of those, so I never really expected him to drop to us.

 

Personally, I think he is going to be the best back drafted since Adrian Peterson.  I see a lot of parallels between the two. 

 

But, I heard Mike and Mike said this morning that in McShay's latest mock that someone is taking Mariota at #2, and it most likely won't be the Jets, and then he has them taking Gurley at #6.

 

There apparently is a huge boost in his stock now that his knee has been checked and is on schedule.

Yeah I kind of realized that from the start so I never really got my hopes up for him. Want Agholor at 25.

Agholor at 25 wouldn't be a bad pick. But I still think the Panthers are going OT in the first. I hope that either Peat or Flowers is still on the board and no doubt in my mind Peat would be the pick.

I'm OK with that.  They still can't rush the passer, and Luke and TD can just about neutralize any back.

 

Yep I'd love for them to continue adding "skill players" and ignoring their lines. Makes our linemen's jobs a whole lot easier.

I'd be fine with Peat there. Don't like Flowers though. 25 may be a slight reach for Agholor but if we want to get him we'd have to take him there. He's by far my favorite wideout prospect outside the top 2.

With all of the Gurley hype around here I feel the same way. He probably will be available when we pick unless the Chargers draft him.

I know the whole injury history is scary, especially with the way Stewart and Williams health has effected our team the past few seasons. I believe the injuries could be over hyped just look at Willis McGahee. I believe Frank Gore was hurt in college as well but I'm not 100% sure.

Adrian Peterson had shoulder surgery and a broken foot in college and he has done well in the NFL.

      Most hated teams

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
