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.

    • I've watched literally every single snap of T-Mac's career, there isn't a person on these boards who knows his game better than I do.  And I'm telling you, he is a great fit for what Bryce does well, period. You keep talking about these "get open quick WRs" as what Bryce needs, but I couldn't disagree more, because it blatantly disregards what Bryce does best. AND NO.... that's not me saying we don't need any "get open quick" type of WRs, I've long said we still needed one of those in addition to a true outside #1, but it's not the only type of WR that can be a successful pairing with Bryce. Bryce's biggest strength is his mental side of the game, he reads defenses and plays chess instead of checkers.  That type of QB doesn't need to rely on his WR's to quickly create acres of separation because their mental side of the game will mean they are going to put the ball on the WR when they create even minimal separation, as he's going to anticipate it and throw the ball before the WR has even made his cut on the route. AND THAT is where and why Bryce and T-Mac are a great pairing.  When you have a guy with T-Mac's hands and catch radius, he doesn't need 5 yards of separation to get open and have Bryce then get the ball to him.   Bryce is going to be throwing the ball before he even makes his cut, so even if all T-Mac is able to do is create 1 yard of separation, the ball is getting to him when he creates that and because of his hands and size, he's plucking that ball out of the air before the defender even has a chance to close that 1 yard, because the ball is there as soon as T-Mac creates the room and turns his head.
    • I read an article a few days ago that places like Seattle green bay and a few others are revoking tickets rights to holders that sell 100% of their tickets. That would do a lot of good league wide for bringing back some home field advantages. We aren't the only team who's stadiums get over run by visitors. It happens basically everywhere. That would go a long way to bringing ticket costs down 
    • yeah, you can basically copy and paste my thoughts from this time last year.   We are building an O more suited for Jake Delhomme than Bryce Young.  Tmac and XL sound great for the downfield gunslinger  Give them opportunities to make plays.  From what I have seen, and the scouting stuff I have read.....TMac does not project as a get open quick WR.  He is going to have to work on getting off the line at this level, getting open, etc.  Which is all good.  This you go to think people will be studs out the gate or you are hater logic just ain't what I do.   Take my XL stance last year.  I lobbied hard for him.  When we drafted him I immediately told folks to pump their breaks on the wild expectations.    If XL legitimately turned into what I think he can be.....his best setup in the league would not be paired w/ a QB like Young.  if Bryce was going to be the dude, I would have lobbied for Ladd vs XL.  I was an XL guy.   And again, I would have gone Warren/Jeanty this draft.   I would have invested in small ball talent for him to be the PG for.
