Prospects you want the Panthers to draft (regardless of round)


XClown1986

Recommended Posts

Title says it all. Who are the prospects you REALLY like that you would love to see in a Panthers uniform next year? Obviously the top 15 or so guys are not practical, but everyone else is up for discussion.

For me, I LOVE how LB Dorian O'Daniel plays the game. He would be amazing depth/player to groom, and a special teams demon from day one.

Other guys I love:

DT Tim Settle (BIG guy and disruptive)

DE Rasheem Green (Needs a redshirt year but has all the tools and intensity to be a great player)

CB MJ Stewart (SOOO physical. Has great ball skills too. Reminds me of EJ Gaines coming out, but without the durability question marks)

FS Kyzir White (some people like him as a SS but I actually think he is more in the mold of how we used Mike Mitchell. Good reactor, good tackler)

SS Terrell Edmunds (Lengthy guy and very athletic. Brother gets more attention but Terrell is a fantastic player in his own right)

WR Keke Coutee (Doesn't get enough publicity. One of the fastest players in the draft, built solidly, and tracks the deep ball really well)

WR Cedrick Wilson (I guess crazy production doesn't guarantee publicity. Reminds me of Marques Colston.)

RB Royce Freeman (Most underrated back in the draft. averaged over 6 yards a carry 2 different seasons in college)

TE Mark Andrews (People are down on him as a blocker but I truly don't see that he is that bad at all. And tacklers seem to bounce off of him. I like his style)

Josh Jackson- Norman Clone.  Ball hawk, reads QBs better than anyone in the class.  Not afraod to hit someone.  Perfect glove fit for our zone sceme

Ridley- polished route runner, good hands.  Good speed and quickness 

Chubb and Penny- should be around round 3, both good size and between the tackle runner that could compliment CMC

Ragnow- beast center, very versatile who could be a beast LG while waiting for Kalil to retire.

Dalton Schultz- https://www.nfl.com/prospects/dalton-schultz?id=32462018-0002-5601-11b0-43f775014814

Strengths
  • Very tenacious and tough as a blocker
  • Well-schooled in blocking fundamentals
  • Leaned on as vital part of the run blocking unit
  • Initial hand placement is good
  • Ability to sustain and finish
  • Improves positioning after contact and can generate some movement at point of attack without a double team
  • Gave it to USC's Rasheem Green on more than a couple of snaps when matched head to head
  • Sinks hips into breaks
  • Opens sharply on underneath routes to look for the throw
  • Has good feel for attacking the voids against zone coverage
  • Will shut routes down early to keep throwing window open for quarterback
  • Physical in creating space at top of his routes
  • Short area footwork is adequate
  • Has ability to become a reliable target over the middle and in traffic

 

Will just leave this here.  Schultz is the Perfect fit for that #2 TE spot Dickson played

I second Dorian O’Daniel. He is the modern day LB that will excel in today’s game. Short-area quickness is exceptional (top performer in 3 cone drill at the Combine among LBs)

 

Aside from that, Mike Hughes is really intriguing. Pretty raw still (which we have struggled to develop in the past), but his return abilities alone are too enticing. One of the most dynamic playmakers in the draft.

    • SUBSTANTIALLY shorter than Will Campbell. Didn’t know how much until now. I’ll be surprised if he ends up with a real shot at OT anywhere tbh.
    • The front office may think more of KP than Howell. The point wasn't that Howell was some sort of god on the football field. He's had a relatively good season once. That's potential.  KP has thrown for 2500 and 2000 in back to back seasons and was benched in 23' That's not good. 13 TDs in 25 games in Pittsburgh as a starter. Howell had 3950/21/21 in a single season.  I'm not proclaiming Howell is a franchise saver. I'm saying KP has never once achieved Bryce's best season and now he's his backup. This follows Dalton who was so terrible he should have been let walk last off-season but wasn't, again, no threat to Bryce. Jack Plummer, so bad in his 1st camp the Huddle wanted to chase him out of town, so he's brought back for a 2nd. If you can't recognize the pattern, that's on you.  I'm not even saying I want Howell. I'm saying Pickett is so bad he could barely do in 2 years what Howell did in 1. We didn't aggressively make our QB room better. We made it worse. 
    • I'm sure he could play LG, but Hunt is still here. You save 14 million in salary if you move on from him after 2026 season, but no reason you wouldn't think that Icky would want or command more than that on the open Market so would be a wash to me really.
