So we draft Hooker.  That means we are shifting Coleman back to SS.  I don't hate this.  But, he is going to need to add a touch of weight. 

95 percent of the guys that come into the professional sports (not just the NFL) need to add weight. I don't know why people act like weight is such big deal.

Oh, my bad, I meant Coleman. He is under 200 lbs.  Usually SS's average between 200-220. When Coleman was forced into the SS role, he was definitely a little light for the position.  If that was to be his full-time position I would expect he would put on a little weight.

He's in need of some coaching on tackling, but big time potential in pass D. Don't see him being available at 8. Chargers seem to really like him, assuming he doesn't get grabbed before the 7th pick.

We don't use a FS as a tackler. We need a FS who is a ball hawk that has range. He fits the bill.

Coleman did well last year at SS and as he ages he will need to be there. The biggest problem with Colman at SS was he wasn't at FS.

I really like his ball skills but his raw in my opinion. I don't think he provides much more of an impact than what Coleman already provides for us so I would pass on him at No.8. 

You obviously have never watched him play. Dude has way more range than Colman. Better hands too.

Hooker needs to be a better tackler but he is probably the closest thing to Earl Thomas.

Tackling is not a huge deal in our system at FS.

The fact that you guys think Hooker will get anywhere near us is funny. Right now it looks like zero QBs are going to be taken top 5, if that happens all the prospects we are eyeing will probably be gone. We will most likely be looking at Barnett, Foster, Davis, Williams. Maybe Thomas.

There is always a wildcard team that takes someone unexpected or another team that trades into the top 10 to get a QB. It's not completely out of question he could be there.

No its not, but we shouldn't expect it. He is a high value safety with incredible range and safety is the hardest position to fill.

Just hypothetical, if both Hooker and Adams were available, I would rather have Adams/Colman at SS/FS than Colman/Hooker at SS/FS.

Colman has proven he is capable of being a difference maker at the FS position.

Thoughts?

I would take Adams over just about anyone other than Garrett

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have.

      Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
