Prospects with multple or private visits with Panthers

[MHS831]

• ·  Brian Burns, DE/3-4OLB/OLB, Florida State (PRI)
• ·  Nate Davis^, OT, Charlotte (LOC, COM)
• ·  Andre Dillard, OT, Washington State (PRI)
• ·  Will Grier^, QB, West Virginia (COM, PRO)
• ·  Tytus Howard, OT, Alabama State (PRI)
• ·  Dre'Mont Jones, DT, Ohio State (PRI)
• ·  Greg Little^, OT, Ole Miss (COM, PRO)
• ·  Erik McCoy^, G/C, Texas A&M (SR, PRI)
• ·  Deebo Samuel^, WR, South Carolina (COM, LOC)
• ·  Khalen Saunders, DT, Western Illinois (PRI)
• ·  Darnell Savage, S, Maryland (PRI)
• ·  Montez Sweat^, DE/3-4OLB/OLB, Mississippi State (PRO, PRI)
• ·  Clayton Thorson^, QB, Northwestern (PRO, PRI)
•  Kaleb McGary, OT Washington (PRI?)
• Jonathan Abrams, S Miss St (Pri?)

 

Take it for what it is worth, but we usually grab a player or two from the visit list with multiple visits--not sure that the LOC (local) means a lot, but the private workouts and multiple visits demonstrate potential high interest.

From this list, I would think the favorites are:

 

• Round 1:  Sweat or Burns (Edge)  
• Round 2: McCoy (G.C); Little (T/G); Jones (DT/5 tech--some  say higher, but I think he is a second rounder) 
• Round 3: Savage (S-some say he is a second rounder); Grier (QB); Howard (T); Saunders (DT)
• Round 4:  Davis (G/T); Thorson (QB)

Walter Football is not always accurate or thorough; again, take this for what it is worth.  Some may have players sitting higher, but this is my  opinion.  Add to this if this is missing players.

I'm awfully nervous at 16 if Sweat and Burns are both gone. I want no part of Dillard or Little in the 1st.

Dremont Jones scares me in round 1 too.  I would rather have Ford than Dillard-he would be a LG day 1 who could backup T.  Reminds me of Wharton.

I'd be very surprised if Jones goes in the 1st.

Agreed. With his lack of run support right now and poor combine he is out of the first round discussion.

Me too.  Could not figure out why we brought him in--maybe to see if the combine was a fluke?

We are looking at him IMO for a 3 tech and the ability to play occasional DE in a 4-3

If so, I hope we trade back--assuming some stud does not fall---which might happen if those 2 are gone--someone like Gary, White, or Greedy could be there.

I’m right there with you... I’d rather go corner or dt at that point...or Cody ford if I just had to take an olineman right there

I love Ford--perfect for our needs--only  if DL we need gone.  Lotta people think he will go late first--early second--he will surprise.

I agree..at least he has one defined position...if he grows into a tackle great... but a road grading LG would solidify our oline and make it a strength for the first time in forever. The colts and Dallas doing that changed their team around in a hurry. But like you said I’d go DL first if the value’s still there. I know people are down on Ferrell cause he doesn’t jump great in gym shorts but if sweat and burns are both gone I’d have to figure he’s there. I don’t watch college really besides the title game and he looked good to me. Might not have the giant Peppers upside but a workhorse Jared allen type that’s ready to go day 1... I’m not crying about that
