Would you draft Shaquem Griffin?

Have you watched him play? 

Nothing in depth.  I have watched some youtube clips of him.  I think the guy is a great athlete....and has a lot of talent and determination.  If he didn't have that handicap he'd be a top 10 pick.  It's just that he does....and personally I can see how that can translate into missed tackles and dropped picks.  The RBs and WRs he's going to play at the next level posses the same athleticism and that handicap will be a bit more amplified.  If Devonte Freeman is giving him a stiff arm....he's gonna have a tough time.  In the NFL they're going to prey on the weaknesses even more. 

I hope I'm wrong...and I'm sure that if anyone has the opportunity to realistically do well with a handicap like that...it seems like he'd be the guy.  There is a chance he does great.  Just too many unknown variables with his issue kinda make it hard to draft him...at least high. Just my opinion. Could be wrong.

Voth doesn't see him as a fit here.

I could see him running down on kicks but Panthers linebackers are asked to do a lot. Thomas Plays with his hands as much as his legs. Knocking tight ends off routes, threatening the A gaps, and of course tackling. 

Light weight and no hand seems like an easy block to make.

His hand is a big issue disengaging blockers, finishing and wrapping up at this level which is much higher than the college level he played against. He would be a longshot to make our roster and would be worth a 7th. Surely not anything higher than a 6. Third day guys struggle to make the roster and if they actually pan out it is a huge win for any team. Unless they suck and need to roster most of their picks..

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
