Based on what though? Is it just because he's a STer, or can he play corner if we need him?

We played Colin Jones at CB and brought in Finnegan and McClain. Letting him play CB is not even in consideration.

I just don't think we can call Teddy Williams an "ace" anymore.  He was a liability more often than an asset last season.  He whiffed on some easy tackles (including one that led to a ST TD and had way too many stupid penalties.  I think we roll with 5 CB's.  If we keep 6, it will be Lou Young.

Every fuggin game Teddy finds a way to get some obscure special teams penalty. Yea, he may be fast, but he is obviously an idiot. He had 8 penalties last year and only plays a handful of special teams plays per game!

Yeah man Teddy is a bonehead.  All last season he proved it over...and over..and over again.

Right, and he's not even that good of a gunner, IMO. 11 tackles vs 8 penalties is not that great of a resume, especially when some of those penalties were because he was driven out of bounds  and didn't even try to get back in.

It was Colin Jones and Teddy Williams who decided not to tackle Norwood in the Super Bowl so I'm not sold on their special teams play. Young, while getting scolded for late hits in practice, did make some plays on defense when I was at practice. I think he had at least one INT and I noticed him both days. 

When can you ever go off one play? Were you around for the special teams during Rons early years? They're definitely solid.

Besides, the fair catch confusion was because of a low punt by a punter we made no effort to re-sign.

I'm not, that was the last of many. There shouldn't be fair catch confusion. The way our D was playing, that was one of a few gigantic plays.

Shaq Thompson could of decapitated Norwood....he pulled up too. That was just one of those strange plays.  It was a poor play by Norwood that turned out fantastic for him.   Just a fluke in so many ways.  I don't really give that play much thought in terms of evaluating guys as special teamers.

Colin Jones is a good special teamer.  If allowed to just be that.

Hell yeah! All he has to do is stay in bounds, but he struggles with that. Plus, Young looks pretty god so far at camp; I read somewhere that he had picked up Josh's habit of staying after practice to catch extra ball while laying on the ground during OTA's. If he doesn't make the final roster, i at least hope there's room on the PS for him. Unless he stinks up preseason of course!

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By 45catfan · Posted

      I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
