Are people trolling with this Derrick Henry stuff?

[Sam Mills Fan]

I've only been occasionally glancing through the Huddle this offseason and I keep seeing people seemingly seriously suggest Derrick Henry to the Panthers. He would be a terrible pick. Not because he's a running back, but because he's the wrong running back for this team. I'm part of #NeverTrump on Twitter and I'm now coining #NeverHenry for the Panthers.

Big bruising back would fit us quite well actually.  We are built on being physical.

It spurred bc a certain person claims he's likely to be our pick who's had the right intel before.

I feel ya.  I cant wait for the draft.

We do need help at RB. When Stew went down in the Super Bowl, even momentarily, it killed our game plan and what made us successful all season long. I don't think CAP is the long term solution.

Is there a Bo Jackson clone in the draft?

Eh...we got to the Super Bowl with eh line play.  It caught us finally when we matched up vs a team that would test any team in that regard. 

Still a firm believer you build your line.  Build your OL and RB injuries don't matter much

He might be the pick, and if he is I am pretty sure the nay sayers should swallow their pride and realize Gettleman has forgotten more about scouting than they could ever hope to know.

No but I say take the guy at 30 that had more yards in a season than Bo, had more yards than anyone in Bama history, and who had more yards than anyone, anywhere, ever as a high schooler.  And he's a Von Miller clone physically.  Most importantly he's GMan's Blue Goose.

i think Henry will be good.  Not first round worthy though.

He'll be gone by our 2nd pick.  Either take at 30 or rely on an aging, injury prone, cap monstrosity and his serviceable yet mediocre young backups.

Who ever it is will be good.

of this I am certain.

my only issue is people declaring henry a big bruising running back...he's big, but he is not a punisher. he's a one cut downhill runner who is deceptively shifty for his size, but he isn't going to be train wrecking defenders like stewart or lynch.

i'm not even sure where the blount/jacobs comparisons come from either.

henry is more the arian foster mold.

ONLY because of Gettleman's success would I not go in ranting on this pick if it happens. But if you're asking me right now if this pick makes the most sense for me, the answer is definitely no.
