I know a lot of people were down on this selection but dude was on a few top 100 big boards....whatever that says...

93: Gaulden (Mayock)

91: Gaulden  (SI)

He was picked with the 85th pick. Also, not long ago qbs that went his direction averaged a 24.4 passer rating. He also had the most run stops which stands as a "Win" for the defense per PFF ...both in the SEC.

Potential is there... and he seems hungry.

Then a significant portion of the Huddle want to move DBs around but think it's genius when they come up with the idea.

 

Gaulden was considered a safety prospect by most everyone who has an opinion.

And was graded better as a safety than any of the safeties that were available at the pick.

So what you're saying is he was over-drafted... interesting.

No I'm saying technically if you go by the Mayock or SI rankings(for the sake of conversation) and take into consideration the positions that we didn't need to draft, we got him right about where he ranked ...

For all we know he could have been our 50th ranked player... and the FO views him as a steal at 85. 

He's a Panther now, so he's part of the family. I will say Ronnie Harrison would have been nice at that spot. However, just going off of his previous coverage ratings, I think we made the right choice between the two....only time will tell.

I knew what you were saying, I was just busting chops.

Hurney's approach was  to go for speed and athletic guys who are smart and around the ball. Gaulden doesn't have great measurables he just makes plays.  He is a good run stopper and decent in coverage against running backs and tight ends. Just what we need to try and stop Kamara. We are built to beat New Orleans this year.

Maybe he's just a "football player", but I'm not a fan of this pick, especially that high.

 

Also hoping that Hurney's curse of the 2nd round still isn't around.

This is a typical Hurney bust pick that will stay on the roster because he's a Hurney bust pick.

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.
