CBS' Prisco hates the pick & SB Nation's Kadar, lukewarm


top dawg

Recommended Posts

Oh, and I find it hiarious to see that just because Prisco doesn't comprehend what position Thompson is going to play, he seems to think former Pro Bowl LB Ron Rivera and top-notch DC Sean McDermott will also have that same problem.

lol

At the beginning of the draft process Shaq was a locked first round pick. He dropped because of his 40 time (he did great in other drills) and because people claim he's undersized. He's not undersized. The 40 time is overblown. He's still first round talent.

He ran a slow 40 on purpose anyways ;)

You want me to take your words for it or the scouts? The scouts may not always be right but in the middle or even beginning of every college season they normally mock who will be high draft picks. I don't think you can claim that as well.

 

Not sure what you're trying to say here. My point is that it's not impossible that a WR or OT is there for us at the end of a round. Last year we drafted KB at the end of a round. You never know who will fall.

25. Shaq Thompson, LB/S, Washington: C+ Grade

I had Shaq Thompson to the Panthers - in the second round. I only had him falliing that far because it was apparent that they really liked him. In fact, I slotted Thompson to the Panthers at No. 25 a few weeks ago, but ultimately thought that was a bit too early for him. The teams we spoke to agreed, as they had him as a second-round prospect. Having said that, this is a fine pick, as Thompson's versatility will definitely help Carolina's defense. He'll be able to play both safety and linebacker, depending on the situation.

Amazing how an amateur site picks up on why Thompson was drafted instantly, whereas "expert analysts" like Prisco are puzzled.

My question is, what the actual fug do these "legit" analysts, that everyone likes to bring up, know about what the hell is best for us?  Quit smoking analyst pole.  If they knew jack poo, they'd be doing something that was actually helpful besides spewing bullshit.  Please tell me when they've been right about any player we've picked since DG got here.

I doubt he would have made it to 57.  Was it a reach?  Yes.  Was it drafting in a position of need?  No.  

 

Will Panthers fans be happy we got him once he is on the field and heaven forbid something happen to davis?  Yes

 

IDC what they say.  I would almost rather the experts hate the picks.  You read Seahawks and our division rivals fans reactions to Shaq being a Panther.....tells me all I need to know.

    • Canales up first. Guys got their legs back yesterday and started a little slow when they came out Bryce challenged them in the huddle and they responded "Dominant practice for the defense today." Praised turnovers, "beautiful hits," and being physical Praised Moehrig, Ransom, Incoom, and Jones II Confirmed playing starters. Predominantly a young team and can't pass up an opportunity. Emphasized game day routines such as nutrition, body readiness, etc. Plus it's a bunch of new guys on the defense. Bryce will start. Will play them the first two, but starters might sit for the third game depending on how practice goes that week. Nic Scourton has a mild hamstring that happened in special teams. DJ Johnson had an issue with his hip flare up and is getting checked out this afternoon. Experimenting with approach to preseason games. In Seattle they played their starters in all but the last preseason game and what Pete Carroll was looking for in terms of mental readiness to play football. Thomas Incoom has been getting a lot of work with AC Carter adding to his toolbelt. Getting better as a rusher and being physical in the run game. Looking for a consistency in response. 1pt for a win, 3pts for a TD. Defense doesn't like that, but in games if they give up one go ball the score can swing. They challenged the pass game and the run game today. Guys are getting together before, between, and after team drills to challenge each other Job of the coaching staff to set the foundation for our schemes, philosophy, and expectations of what it's like to play Panthers football. Powerful when players take that and the locker room owns it. That's when it becomes our team, their team. At the end of the day, the men on the field have to rebound from a bad play, celebrate the good plays, and keep each other in tune for a whole game. Robert Hunt is amazing. Size, talent, quickness, flexibility. Really intelligent guy that there will say himself there are technique things he needs to work on. Regardless of where players are at, there's a constant learning curve and loves that Big Rob is challenging himself with the position coach. Thinks the digital down and distance can be really valuable. Getting the information quickly will help with the flow of the game. Thought TMac looked great but there were some near misses that he'll have to get in the room and communicate with Bryce on while reviewing film. James Mitchell keeps doing right and his trust factor is increasing with the QBs. If you're right and the coverage says the ball goes there, it'll come. Had some issues at the start of camp but is trending up. Newton or Person: "It looked like today was beyond thud but short of live. What do you call that?" Canales: "No, that's thud. In my mind, that's what thud should look like. The challenge for our defensive guys is can you put your body in a position where we know that would've been a tackle." Whizzing by, tagging with two hands, etc doesn't show you whether you would've made a tackle. That's not real football. Let's the play extend because guys have to be ready to chase sometime where the ball squirts out from a pit. Can't train to say "Ah, it was a tackle" and relax but instead play with intensity through the whistle. Lathan Ransom is bringing the physical style of play that they saw on film. Has been really into the details and someone that they can count on. Has really given himself a chance to start at the other safety position. Excited for the extra energy from a game-like environment that they'll get from FanFest. Used to have four preseason games and now FanFest feels like that first one. Will give ST full speed reps to evaluate. Making plays and feeding off of the fans. Window closed quickly on the INT to finish practice. CSW baited Bryce with some movement and made a great play. Saw it from Bryce's perspective with TMac coming open. Has played all over the secondary that they can count on to speak loudly and be on the same page with his teammates.
