Interesting. I'd imagine we would be scheduling a private workout with him as well(no workouts on visits to the team) so Ricky can get a chance to work with him and see how prepared he is to play in the NFL. I'd think that a hands on workout would be of the utmost importance for an inexperienced guy like this with basically no useful tape.

I agree that Mortiz won't be able to use much of his film because of the lack of talent he played vs. But with that said, you can't teach guys to be 6'4 227 and running 4.3s and 4.4s.  Ricky can get his hands on this guy and turn him into a pretty decent WR I do believe.  Scouts and analysis had some concerns with KB coming out with this speed, hands, and route running and we all know how his first year went.   Cant teach the measurable.

There are two things I know....Gettleman has an eye for talent.  If he is using one of his 30 scheduled visits to meet with this guy, he has some talent.  Two, Ricky has done some great things with some of the WRs we have picked up that has had some past question marks and has molded them into serviceable WR for our team.

If we are really interested in Boehringer after his workout, we are likely going to have to get him before round six, as we don't have a pick in six and he won't be available for us in round 7 (if Getty doesn't even trade that pick away).

they will just convert him into a TE

 

He would need to put on 20-30 lbs, but he does have some experience at the position. If you watch his highlights he lines up as an inline TE quite frequently. He probably has less than zero experience blocking NFL sized athletes though.

Absolutely. Gettleman knows what an NFL player looks like. We have the luxury that our GM is one of the best talent evaluators in the league.

Two weeks ago, I gave everyone the heads up on German receiver Moritz Wilhelm Boehringer and he did not disappoint during his Pro Day last Thursday. He measured 6-4.5 and 227 pounds, posted a vertical jump of 39 inches and timed as fast as 4.38 seconds in the 40. Boehringer looked natural catching the ball during position drills. The comments I received during his Pro Day ranged from, “He’s a legitimate prospect,” to, “He’s a fourth-round pick.” In what is considered a poor receiver draft, no prospect at the position comes close to matching Boehringer’s size/speed numbers. His calendar for April is booked as Boehringer will visit seven teams while two additional franchises were disappointed to learn there’s not enough time on the schedule to fly him in. Boehringer is having an open workout for teams this Friday at Florida Atlantic University and this time he’ll be catching passes from Jacoby Brissett of North Carolina State.

I can't imagine Gettleman pulling the trigger in the 3rd as this draft is fairly deep in a lot of key positions of need for depth.  If anyone pulled the trigger for this guy in the 3rd round it would be probably one of the biggest reaches of all time lol.  I could see a manageable 5th-7th round pick for him.   But the dude has been impressive at his workouts.  I read that one of the key features that coaches are drooling over about Moritz is that is he super "coachable."  Not having a ton of experience blocking they said he picked up on coaching and corrections very quickly.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
