  • Landon Collins, SS post-15487-0-65254700-1430272391_thumb.j
Do I personally like Collins? No.

Do the Panthers like Collins? I think so.

Collins may not be my favorite prospect, but he does have some things going for him. He is fantastic at stopping the run, and is the hard hitting safety that Ron Rivera has clamored for. Although not the best in pass coverage, the negative rep he gets for it is overblown. In the right scheme Collins can be a pro bowler, which I believe the panthers have.

I don’t think he is one of the highest on the panther’s board, but I also don’t see the draft falling the way our front office would like it to.

2. Jaelen Strong, WR post-15487-0-82405500-1430272423_thumb.j

Strong was a projected first rounder before an injury to his wrist was discovered. The wrist could keep him out for a couple of weeks, but the potential of Strong is very high. Strong is a big receiver with fantastic hands. He has sneaky athleticism but doesn’t always play up to it on the field. Strong consistently high points balls and wins match ups with pure power.

3. Michael Bennett, DT post-15487-0-95358600-1430272416_thumb.j

The panthers seem to love their Ohio State guys. Michael Bennett could be a great rotational defensive tackle. He is a little undersized and he mostly wins with his quickness and speed. Bennett played with an injury last year that hampered his play. I believe that this could possibly drop him to the third round.

4. Tyler Lockett, WR post-15487-0-07442700-1430272399_thumb.j

Big play ability and special teams dominance is what you get with Lockett. He won’t be the best receiver coming out, but he is very capable of learning. Lockett is fast and shifty, his play makes you say wow. He does make some puzzling mistakes though.

5. Javorius Allen, RB post-15487-0-96206500-1430272402_thumb.j

Buck Allen has the tools to be a feature back in the NFL. He is a good pass catching back and a downhill runner. His downside is that he isn’t elusive in the least.

5.2 Martin Ifedi, DE post-15487-0-36124600-1430272406_thumb.j

Ifedi is the big defensive end that Dave Gettleman likes. He is in the mold of our own Charles Johnson, he just needs time to refine his skills.

5.3. Tye Smith, CB post-15487-0-58874600-1430272431_thumb.j

Tye Smith has great ball skills and is very talented. He is athletic and tall. Smith’s biggest downfall is lack of technique and will need to be coached up to be a great NFL Corner.

6. Shaq Mason, C/ G post-15487-0-47622200-1430272395_thumb.j

Scheme held back Mason from shaowing a lot of his skills on tape. However, what he showed was fantastic athleticism. Mason needs to be in an nfl weight program to develop more muscle and needs to be with a good coach to help him with technique and scheme. Mason is coachable. He can be expected as a good back up that can rotate between guard and center.

7. Kyshoen Jarrett, S post-15487-0-58536900-1430272386_thumb.j

Has good explosiveness and physicality, but lacks size. Needs some help with technical skills.

I'd be surprised to see us go back to back years without drafting an OT with such an obvious need for young talent to develop at the position (and nine picks in the draft). It might not be early but I've got to think we will draft a tackle at some point.

That being said, no issues with the picks you put out there. I too am not a huge fans of Collins so I'm hoping he goes before our pick. But I'd understand if we do draft him.

I understand this, but I feel like every tackle worth taking will be picked by 25, besides Jake Fisher, but I don't think we take him. He will be gone by our second pick.

i could see all of the starting caliber LTs being gone by 25. But there are some intriguing RTs that could be of interest in the middle rounds - Daryl Williams, Havenstein, Gibson. He's not going to reach but I just think it's more likely than not that at some point an OT is BPA with nine picks. Even if it's just a backup to Remmers (don't make me watch Chandler "block" again).

well done sir. I hath pied thee.

I do have a question though... do you think we would have to trade up to take Strong the second?

 

It's a possibility, but I could see him falling as well. You have to think that Smith, Dorsett, and Agholor go before him now.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
