So which team picks up Wegher?

I really think we'll keep him on the roster unless a good WR becomes available.  Especially with 2 less players to cut to get to 53 due to KB and Presley (or am I misunderstanding that).  I think the writing is on the wall for J. Stew, unfortunately, and that unless he balls out like he did end of last season, this will be his last year as a Panther.  So... I think that gives Wegher a shot.

I mean gosh, they kept Foucault on the 53 last year.  They've shown they will do that for a "project"

They've had some crappy projects that ended up as wasted roster spots. I don't think Wegher would be a wasted spot. I'd like to see him get an extended stay with the team and a good chance to stick.

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.

      Scourton may not get double digit sacks, but he won't be a liability on every other down
