I said before the draft and I stand by my position. Bucky Hodges is OVERRATED and expected things to be handed to him all through college. I'm not saying he hasn't changed his ways but if he still has the work ethic he had back then he has no chance in the NFL where everyone is just as big and fast as him.

Good college player, but very much a tweener at the NFL level. Doesn't block and isn't really physical enough to play TE, too slow to play WR. I think there's some attitude issues as well. If he had the right attitude, he could probably make a roster.

That's what I wanted to know.. Was there some attitude things or off the field stuff.. That got him out of here.. I knew he was going to need some bulking up before he was ready to the full responsibility of the position .. I just thought 6'7 247lb was some nice clay to develop on the practice squad..

Was he a problem child in college?? Any off the field things going on?? He must have had some attitude things to get released from the Vikes and Us in the same year he was drafted..

That was always the impression I got from VT fans. The guys oozed with talent, but pretty much expected to coast on talent alone and pretty much just thought that he was the poo.

Sometimes (okay, pretty much always) I have a hard time putting things like that on the kids. A lot of these guys listen to the wrong people in making that decision. They should be listening to the NFL advisory committee and their coaches with NFL connections, not friends trying to ride their coattails telling them they're the next star, agents trying to get in their pockets, and media talking heads like Mel Kiper and Todd McShay. Seems like every year there's guys who the media "experts" have ranked as 3rd rounders who end up going undrafted.

Stuff like this:

http://www.roanoke.com/hokies/sports/football/espn-s-mel-kiper-jr-bullish-on-hokies-underclassmen-projects/article_044a030c-fc99-11e7-932f-2fbf9f77f0e9.html

This early in the draft process, projections are difficult, however. At this point last year, Kiper said Bucky Hodges could be the second tight end off the board and called receiver Isaiah Ford "a solid second-rounder." They ended up going in the sixth and seventh rounds of last year's draft, respectively.

As fans for the most part we understand that these mock drafts and media "experts" are pretty much just for entertainment purposes only, but you gotta put yourself in the mind of a 20 year old kid trying to make a decision on his future. He wants to play in the NFL. He wants to make millions of dollars. And he wants it NOW. These media talking heads spewing out of their asses can really mislead these kids and contribute to some really poor decisions that has a real negative impact on their future.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks are Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team) seem to be locks. Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?

      I had this discussion with my buddy yesterday afternoon. If we start this season very slow(especially with the schedule being what it is) and then "rally" in the second half to get to 4-7 wins, I am already gonna be pretty heated at the staff overall. I know we are a very bad roster but I am not gonna keep excusing these slow season starts WITH late season rallies. That's a coaching staff problem, IMO. It's more excusable to just stink gate to gate, IMO. At least you can understand why.
