It's that time of the year for me.

Been talking to my friend (a nfl scout) about some of the prospects in the draft, and as I do every year, I will drop the things that I am hearing from him here that maybe isn't being heard elsewhere. 

Mike Hughes is the best CB in the draft and is a top 15 pick (off field character concerns may push Ward ahead in draft order) 
Calvin Ridley is a blue chip wide receiver prospect and is far ahead of what Corey Davis was coming out 
The top two quarterbacks in this class are better than any qb coming out in five years besides Carson Wentz 
Connor Williams is the best tackle prospect in this draft as opposed to Mike McGlinchey 
People are sleeping on Stanford defensive tackle Harrison Philips, UTEP guard Will Hernandez, Georgia running back Nick Chubb, Iwoa center James Daniels, and Louisville corner Jaire Alexander, all of which he expects to go within the top 40. 

I'll drop whatever else I hear from him here.

No problem guys, I told him I made this, so if you have any questions, throw them my way and I'll ask.

My favorite thread. Thoughts on other wide receivers... safeties?

A couple guys we have talked about that maybe people aren't talking about in the first three rounds:
James Washington 
Keke Coutee 
DJ Moore 
Justin Reid 
Marcus Allen 
Jessie Bates

Carolina should trade down into the 2nd round and pick up another 3rd.  With WR and RB being deep. Go DE, OT/G in round 2 then WR/RB/S in the 3rd round.

You trust Hurney with 2nd and 3rd rounders?

What are you worried about.  If he screws up the picks, he will be replaced next year by new ownership.  If he succeeds, he would have drafted good players and will still be replaced by new ownership.  Win Win.

I'm worried about missing out on cheap good players that are on 4 year contracts....but you are right...at least Hurney will be gone either way.

 

Thanks for the pick me up.

Thanks Verge.

If I recall correctly, your friend is not a Panthers scout. An NFL scout, but not with us.

Most intriguing question to me would be what he thinks of Orlando Brown. Also Shaquem Griffin.

You are right, he is not with the Panthers. 

People are really overreacting to Brown's combine, he did hurt himself, but he isn't going to tank out of the first three rounds. Griffin is an anomaly, no one seems to know where to put him because of his hand, he obviously helped himself. "If I had to guess, somewhere in the 4th round"

      NFL top 10 Defenses

      By Basbear · Posted

      I believe Lloyd will elevate not just the whole unit, but also whoever his running mate is. Wallace is still very young, I think he's only 23 with two years of exp now. Cherelus can handle starting, he's just fighting with staying healthy. Kuwatch I think is going to be a contender after a couple week of understanding the system.  I mean Lee will be against..... what nearly 10 NFL-level WRs, he's going to get work and its up to him if he can hang.  I think its fair to expect 12th +/- 3 or 4 spots.  You know this, it boils down to how healthy everyone stays.....cause if dbrown, horn, Lloyd, Michael Jackson, or tervon miss extended time.....no way 10th can be reached. IF all the names above remain haethly, I do think 10th should be the goal. They are a young unit and added talent to a 16th ranked unit. Its time to march forward!!

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Varying degrees all around but it starts at the top. That is where the buck stops. It has been 8 years of stupid, long before Morgan came back. Or Tillis was hired. Made it to the top of stupid mountain in 2023. Stayed in stupid limbo for a while, now we are prepping to scale the next mountain. In this case, I like those guys’ roster building better than what we have had so I am okay with them as our current pawns in the game of Bryce.

      Lee Hunter, Other End of The Call

      Don't let me gas him up too much, but I hear this and that...... I seen a wide body man with a quick burst, that's able to shed blocks and if extends his long arms its over. He tore up the OL in the senior, you seen about 10 plays and the dog walking OLman. There's other plays of him doing the same, just have to deal with fetus talking over the plays. Plus there's this-  https://x.com/PFF_College/status/2018385471068332410?lang=en     I hope he's ready, cause Id like to see him starting and doing his thang with dbrown, nic, and Phillips.
