Panthers meeting/working out DE Tarell Basham today

Sources Tell Us

"He is similar to Carl Lawson but I think you can get him probably a couple of rounds later or maybe more. I think he can still get a lot better as a pass rusher." -- NFC area scout

Bottom Line

Basham has the strength and length to play as a 4-3 base end or as a 3-4 rush linebacker, but his pass rush approach will need to be sharpened as he lacks the flexibility to bend the edge and attack the pocket with athleticism alone. Basham may never produce a high sack total, but his alpha playing style will appeal to teams looking to groom a solid backup with starter's potential.

According to Jourdan, Eric Washington is personally working him out.

I'm telling you the trade down option is good if we can get it and get another 2nd and and a 3rd or 4th..

If fournette doesn't make it to 8.. Trade down get a Ross or Nijkuo in the 1st and add this guy a safety and a RB in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.. We would be set..

Sounds like a perfect prospect you Groom when most of your starters are on the wrong side of 30... Hmmmmm

Right. You see what our front office is thinking here. If Solomon Thomas or Jonathan Allen are gone @8 (most likely will) they will select a developmental DE in later rounds instead of reaching for lets say Derek Barnett.

Now we can disagree there.. I don't think taking Barnett in the top 10 is a reach.. I like him over everybody not name fournette.. But if we traded down and got Basheam I would be happy as well.

Kony Ealy is gone because he couldnt get to the quarterback

and Basham is a small scool project whom at the next level is definetly not getting to the quarterback with his skill set or talent.the only way this is possible if the kid masters the bull rush,and i wouldnt be willing to make a second round bet on that happening.

however,the kid is strong as an ox and  should excel at containg the edge and forcing the runner back inside

Brees,Winston,and Ryan is whom u need to take into consideration whenever your scouting a DE for Carolina .so,a kid like Hendrickson in the latter rounds makes more since than Basham.

    • Great point.    I would lke to add that there is another QB on the roster who was terrible over the middle--Kenny Pickett.  
    • I don't think this is the year for Carolina, unfortunately.  I think they will have to make a decision on the QB position-all we know is that Bryce has year 5, but a long term deal has not been signed--yet--and they would be smart to take a "wait and see" approach.  I have not kept up, and I see a path to upside for Bryce, but I do not think we have aggressively pursued a QB when our QB was mediocre to worse than mediocre.  yes, his numbers are improving--but he has adapted by eliminating what he does poorly and not improving on what he does poorly.  Just my take and I have no data to support this view.   Basically, we go as Bryce goes, so the approach is not to bring in a QB to have him compete until we find one, but it is to make Bryce as good as he can be--is that good enough? Season ticket holders buy the hope of winning rings, not winning 8 games. Last year, Bryce had a resurgence.  Take away TMac and Rico Dowdle.  How good was he?  I still have hope.  Not a hater of plan A, but a hater because we have no plan B.
    • Yeah man, I've been here for a very very long time. Couldn't even begin to tell you what year. Maybe 2004 or 5? I've never really been super active, just enjoy reading everyone's opinions and discussions. I'll chime in from time to time. I have had a few different accounts over the years. It's always been a fun place for me to check in on my favorite team. Hopefully we can keep the place running for a long while still. I also would like to recommend bringing back the Lovely Ladies page!
