nothing about this guy impresses me that much. Good running back from SEC yes.  I think they're better backs than him that aren't getting as much hype.  5'10 214 and a 4.56. Not an instinctive runner. Not very agile. 

Pass for me.

Only average inside power and not a short-yardage runner who will create push. Patiently allows plays to develop, but his occasional over-patience will border on hesitant, allowing defenders to reset and square him up. Tunnel vision and sporadically picks his spots. Ball security is a concern with seven fumbles the past two seasons (wtf?), averaging one fumble every 40.6 offensive touches. Willing and tough in pass protection, but lacks nuance and needs technique work. Has only one game in his career with 20+ offensive touches in a single game and hasn't been relied on to be the feature backfield weapon. Immature past and was arrested shortly after leaving Alabama for driving on a suspended license and failure to appear (Feb. 2014). Was also suspended twice by Nick Saban during the 2013 season for behavioral reasons. Past knee issues, including a left knee sprain that forced him to miss three games in 2016.

 

I'm wlling to forgive behavioral problems that happned years ago especially when these kids were like 18 19 years old, I'm just purely looking at football stuff that's a red flag for our offense. If the Panthers want someone like Kamara that bad they may as well get mccaffrey earlier instead he's the best version in this draft of an elusive speed runner who doesn't focus on the power game.

Yeah that's pretty terrible

He's got the best balance in the class, and Tennessee was way too stubborn giving Hurd the ball so he didn't really get a great opportunity to show what he had as an every down back.  Way too aggressive trying to get extra yards which caused him to fumble a lot more, and i'm not sure that can be fixed.  Great receiver and excellent with angles.  Probably not a great fit for us but could be a solid pass catching option.

As time gets closer if LF is there he is the pick if not I am leaning more and more for Ross he is better than deSean Jackson

If he stays healthy. well the talent pool is so good at 8, I don't think the Panthers can mess up this pick unless they reach for a OT.

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
