Chris Harris Jr was an UFA at 5’11” listed at 180 but prob 175 coming out of KU. Walterfootball rated him as the 44th corner. 

 

Sometimes you just can’t talk with these guys and swagger/desire to be the best drives them to be great players. Who knows if guys like Oliver, Reid have that. Jackson seems to...

True you can't.

Then again guys with swagger like Daryl Worley are delusional and think they are good when they are not.....but they got that swag i guess.

He can press Julio Jones?

He will compete. I actually like the pick and Jackson could become the best CB in this class with his speed and athleticism. I really wanted Oliver but I guess we had a higher grade on Jackson. LSU produces top notch DB’s and with Tre’Davious White and Jamal Adams endorsement I feel more comfortable.

Remember the Panthers sending out Shaq to guard Nelson Agholor in the slot to get abused for a TD? We need DBs that complement each other. We already have enough 6"0 corners that run 4.5 - 4.6. We didn't have a CB that could line up against the quick release WRs that seemed to be open on every 3rd down. Donte Jackson fits that need and he fell into our laps.

Oliver seemed to have tight hips at times. He also just used his size to bully less talented WRs. Those things won't translate into the NFL well. Jackson has good instincts and is extremely fluid. His closing speed on the ball reminds me of a young PP. Not as talented as PP but in a year or two if he studies the game he's going to get a bunch of picks from baiting QB's.

Lol I think that was more poor coaching than not having personal. I remember Shaq throwing his hands up like dude I'm not a DB.

I’m not a hater but I just don’t see how a player who runs 4.31 flys underneath the radar like some of you guys are saying he did.. 

The same way DJ Moore and Ridley both are there when we picked in the first. I mean no one would have mocked that.

Great pick, this guy is brash and flamboyant, something our secondary needs. He can play outside and inside as well.  

There will be mismatches if he lines up outside consistently that the NFL teams will exploit, it comes down to what WR is in that spot.

In simplest terms, the Panthers see the additions tonight like this: Bradberry matches up with the tall WRs, Jackson can get the shorter, faster guys, Gaulden can help in the box against TEs. It’s almost like they have a plan.

lol this dude has no idea how to play football

he's just a fast dude with long dreads

that's the hurney i know and love

Want to know how people in this forum don't know football. 

Copaining about a cornerbacks weight and  size. Average DB is 5-10----6.0ft. Weighs 180 or more by the season. Has great hips, makeup speed,  and coverage ability. You want your CB's lean, long arms, around 6ft.  The league is more of a dink and dunk league now. Tall and thick cbs can't cover the small quick elusive WRs. This guy can.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
