Day 3: Still a ton of talent

The Panthers have done a fantastic job addressing needs with quality talent so far in this draft.  If this trend continues, I expect to see a TE and S brought in with one of our final 3 picks.

 

TE: This position IMO is the most likely to be addressed.  There are a number of prospects that, in any other draft, would be considered 2nd or 3rd round draft picks. 6 TEs have already been taken in the first 3 rounds, and plenty of talent remains.

Bucky Hodges, Virginia Tech (3-4 round)

Jordan Legget, Clemson (4th round)

George Kittle, Iowa (4th round)

Jeremy Sprinkle, Arkansas (4-5 round)

Jake Butt, Michigan (?)

Michael Roberts, Toledo (5-6)

Cole Hikutini, Louisville (6-7)

Brandon Barnes, Alabama St. (UDFA)

 

Safety: The safety position is a little more “picked over” than TE.  11 Safeties have come off the board in the first 3 rounds. Some talent still remains, but it is no-where near as high quality as the TEs left on the board. We would likely need to move up to guarantee someone.

 

Desmond King, Iowa (3rd round)

Tedric Thompson, Colorado (3-4 round)

Eddie Jackson, Alabama (4-5)

 

 

Some other players at random positions I will be watching

OG/OT Dorian Johnson, Pittsburgh (2-3)

RB Samaje Perine, Oklahoma (3)

QB Joshua Dobbs, Tennessee (3)

N-CB Corn Elder, Miami (4-5)

CB Howard Wilson, Houston (5-6)

DT Caleb Brantley, Florida (6-7)

Anyone you guys are watching today?  Feel free to add below

Grab a quality TE in the 4th & Safety in the 5th

Leggett > Sprinkles > Butt > Kittles 

Nacua > Jackson >Thompson 

 

 

You can't honestly think Sprinkle is on the Panthers board after shoplifting at Belk in Charlotte prior to the Belk Bowl.  Someone that stupid cannot be trusted.

We don't even have a 4th anymore. It will probably be about 1:30 before we make our first pick today.

bet DG trades up.. he doesn't need a 6th and 7th rounder - if he can just grab 1-2 more quality players on defense - we will be set

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
