Defensive Tackle Visiting Panthers

The Panthers are visiting with a highly sought after defensive tackle prospect today.....

 

Reed is a first round prospect that should be gone by the time the Panthers pick. Still, it doesn't hurt to do due diligence in case he somehow falls to 30. 

I don't see the Panthers trading up for a DT.

Height: 6-3. Weight: 311. Arm: 32. Hand 10.76. 
40 Time: 5.21. 
Projected Round (2016): 1. 
3/12/16: Reed had a solid combine workout. His 40 time wasn't special, but he did well in the field drills. In 2015, Reed totaled 53 tackles with 4.5 for a loss, one sack and two passes batted. He is a good run stuffer, but doesn't offer a lot in the pass rush. Reed does have the speed and athleticism to develop more pass-rushing skills as a professional though. At the Senior Bowl, he flashed some of his pass-rush potential. Sources said that Reed might end up as a top-25 pick. 

8/22/15: Reed was an All-SEC honorable mention in 2014. He was a quality run defender for Alabama with 55 tackles, 6.5 for a loss, one sack, and five passes broken up. Reed needs to improve his pass rush to rise as a senior.

Star and KK were better than Reed in college---notably better in my estimation. Getty gave both Star and KK first round grades. I don't see him drafting a DT with basically zero pass rushing skills in the first round. Reed is stout against the run, but is mediocre against the pass. Not saying that he can't be coached up, but he is one dimensional right now.

...or a bad sign in regards to how negotiations with Short are going.

I'm actually kinda worried that we haven't heard much about his extension yet.

If you follow him on twitter he is going overboard to get fan support behind him...not sure if that is just how he is, or if he is using it as a tool.

On a somewhat related note, Fletcher Cox reportedly turned down $60M guaranteed from the Eagles. Short will likely be in the same contract ballpark as Cox as well as Wilkerson. Elite DTs ain't cheap.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By Icege · Posted

      "If only Bryce were <height>", he'd <insert stupid thing here>" was the bit and in direct response to multiple posters ridiculously blaming Bryce (and only Bryce) for the punt returns vs. New England. :3 I understand that folks desire balance, hence the "Bryce stans vs. Bryce haters" narrative but it's abundantly clear that the only people going into threads just to talk about Bryce are the haters. Meanwhile, daring to disagree that Bryce was completely at fault for something that happened on special teams gets the "stan" label. Shoot, I'm sure folks lump me in as a Bryce stan (Brycen stan? Absolutely. Bryce stan? Nah) just because I have the audacity to look at what the rest of the team is and isn't doing. 😛

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ Walker is the only QB in the Tepper era the Panthers managed to find wins with.  Only QB w/ a winning record.    PJ had success in pro ball before the Panthers.  He he had NFL tools.    He just is consistent and unreliable.  PJ Walker is what you call a bad/poor man's gunslinger.  He can provide highs and lows both virtually guaranteed.  He is NFL depth.  Bryce Young hasn't proven to improve a teams chances of winning better than the PJ Walker tier of QBing. PJ Walker can do things Bryce Young can't......and that a problem

      There isn’t but the thing is the team/system/staff around the QB ultimately dictates how successful that QB can be. You have Baker getting released midseason here vs playing like a MVP on another team. Darnold on the Jets/Panthers vs Vikings/Seahawks. Geno Smith on the Jets vs the Seahawks vs the Raiders. Mac Jones is looking as good as Purdy on the 49ers. You have to build a roster, culture, and system for these guys.  Obviously the QB has to be the leader and help elevate the team, but we are seeing what moving a “bad” QB to a stable franchise looks like. Daniel Jones might be doing the same but it’s too early to tell.
