Panthers Big Board

Agree with you on the Howard point, but it almost seems incorrect to rank him against Njoku and Engram. Howard is much more like Olsen who's job is to both pass protect and catch - these are known as Y tight ends. 

Engram and Njoku are F tight ends who are less relied upon to block and more relied upon to catch. 

Going with the theme that we seem to be "all in" this year, and JR really wants to win the big one. It actually makes more sense to pair Olsen with a F tight end (Engram or Njoku) than with Howard. That isn't to say Howard couldn't compliment Olsen, but he's more of a replacement. 

Further, adding to this theory is the point you mention: the depth at the position. There isn't another Fournette or even McCaffrey in the draft, this is however a deep draft at tight end.

I do want to once and for all point out that I believe it is a mistake if we aren't considering Malik Hooker

The guy is the prototype modern day FS and could drastically effect our defense for the next 10 years. If you want evidence of this see how poor Seattle's defense was after Earl Thomas got hurt this past year. 

My only concern for him is health. Yea he kinda sucks at tackling, but even Earl Thomas misses tackles. You can teach the kid proper form and hope he improves to passable in that category.

His instincts, speed, range and ball skills are second to none.

@Jeremy Igo  do you turn notifications off after one of these posts?

The retarded comments and attacks have got to be a pain, especially if you actually want to engage an honest question.

 

anyways, that's the order I pretty much am relying on even though I fully expect to be surprised come Thursday.

best case staying at 8 we land thomas, "worst case" which is not really worst case, is lattimore/conley.

then we move up for njoku.

i wouldn't be mad.

Fournette has a realistic chance of being there.

    • We have without question one of the worst QB rooms in the league and your key concern is people having the audacity to be talking about it lol.
    • I saw this list crossing the screen waiting for any Panther.  Chubba, JC Horn and Hunt.  It was a crime to see so many that were not as good as these three.  ESPN is garbage anyhow.
    • Bingo!  We are on the same page.  Our scouting department was average under Hurney, but at least we hit hit it out of the park with our first rounders.  Our scouting department under Tepper's reign with his revolving doors of HCs and GMs has sucked because the scouts largely stay in place.  One or two may change every few years, but the core philosophy stays in place and I believe that to be heavily RAS influenced.    Looking the part of a football player (physical/athletic measurables) vastly outweighs putting on the tape and deep diving into his stats with our scouting department. Until we change that mindset, this team is doomed. Again, how many of us Huddlers (none of us are professional scouts) wanted McConkey over Legette? Yet, we went with XL.  Why?  RAS score, pure and simple.  If you put on the tape and look at the numbers without taking RAS into account, McConkey was the clear choice.
