At 240, that is damn impressive. Cook ran about the exact same but weighing much less.

Doubt Fournette makes it out of the top 5 now unfortunately.

 

Then we can get an elite safety or DE???

While I would love to see Fournette in a Panther uniform, if he doesn't slide, then I'd be happy picking many of the other players.  He just makes so much sense for us, it's almost like we're starting to have a relationship with him before we even talk to him.  That break up will be terrible for me!

I tend to think the same, I think the 4.5 will turn some teams off also, by no means is that slow when you consider what he brings as a total package. But it won't entice or excite teams in the top 5. 

CLE / SF / CHI / JAX / TEN /NYJ / SD

All of those teams have needs at the other elite impact positions available (DL/S) and you have to anticipate one QB is likely to go in the top 7 as well, IMO the fact he ran in the 4.5 range almost guarantees he lasts until we select at 8.

Not sure his timed speed really changes much of anything rather than confirms what personnel staff already saw on tape. One could see the home run speed in the open field when he often pulled away from opposing players in the secondary. He looked like a 4.5 guy on film and ran that way today. I think regardless of what he did at the combine his stock would remain within the same 2-10 range and that still holds. His medicals will be more important for teams.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Why don't we just say they can shove the late round draft picks up their ass? If they want a player they will be starting at WR in Week 1, I want a MLB in return that we can start Week 1. Starter for a Starter Not Starter for a draft pick we'll be debating whether or not they should make the final 53 man roster in 2026.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Why?   No. This isn't a situation of a player we want to trade because we have no use for them.  He's our starting slot WR, our leader of the young WR room, Bryce's safety option the last 2 years who he has good chemistry with. If the Vikings didn't run into WR trouble, we'd never have been even considering trading him, so why in the world should we give him up for fair market value in a vacuum for Thielen and disregard what losing him off our roster will do for us this year? A 5th round pick in 2026 is a negligible draft pick, especially with this season being so make or break for Bryce and Canales.

      The Vikings acquiring all these late round picks has me feeling like we're about to see another CMC situation play out here. Trade a player we really like for the equivalent of what we want for them on the draft pick chart, but because of a bunch of late round picks instead of the one pick value we actually want. Which will do the same thing in the end, nothing, because 6th and 7th round picks rarely work out to begin with, or we're just going to use them to move up 10 picks in the 3rd or 4th round to take another DJ Johnson
