Who is your Combine Shocker this year

A lot of the players mentioned here will not be "shockers" because people already have a good idea what to suspect. Combine shockers are largely unknown players that arise from smaller schools, and cause scouts, execs and analysts  to scramble back to watch tape for the first time. 

The Combine is really not as important as many people think, not to say that it is useless. Just having all the players in one place where they can be interviewed is very valuable, but the drills and 40 are not going to trump what has been seen on tape. Charlie Casserly says 90 percent of a players evaluation is dependent upon tape. Indeed, here is what Bryan Strickland had to say in reference to the Panthers.


"The combine is a key event in the draft process, but by the time it rolls around at the beginning of March, scouts already have evaluated the prospects (in some cases, for years). The combine does give potential draft choices a chance to show something else that didn't show up on film, but most of the opinions have already been formulated."

    • They are 1 and 9 against the  Bucs in the past 10 games. the Panthers go as young goes.  QB1 ‘s are suppose to dictate and overcome  and elevate Everything the QB does affects every part of the team and Bryce is uneven. Canales and Bryce have  an uneven relationship too  as for Evero, the only thing that might save him is the injury to Baker’s left shoulder and oline injuries. I don’t even know how he is out there   I really feel their season ended last Sunday Canales’ division record isn’t great   Getting owned by the Saints and Bucs isn’t a good look 
    • Frankly surprised by the amount of people that want to hang Evero. This was a defense that was almost universally considered the bottom of the barrel before this season started. We’ve managed to stat our way to the middle of the pack whatever that means. Those critical of the zone schemes, what do you want? When even JC is getting burnt one on one by Olave you have little choice. There definitely have been moments where the zone blitz stuff has bit us. That said, are the third string linebackers (and nick Scott) covering poo anyway? This unit had only conceded 10 points going into the fourth quarter despite a litany of bullshit penalties on both sides. Them over performing is the biggest reason we are still in playoff contention.
