Who are some later round players you would love to see the Panthers grab??

Mine Jalen Hurd Wr/football player from Baylor..

 

 

Absolutely love this kid.. He is a pure football player.. He is a big WR with RB skills.. Raw but still put up a big productivity.. He is a special teamer day one while he works his way on the field.. Makes our offense super versatile.. With 3 Wr who can line up anywhere on the field.. It will literally drive defenses crazy trying to figure who will lineup where when all can line up in the slot on the outside or either in the backfield..  It pisses me off that we haven't given this kid a official visit especially when you look at our team.. Norv should be all over this..

Hurd scare me.  Not because he is not talented, because he is but because of the track record he has.  His teammates hatted him at Tennessee as did most of the coaches.  There was a thread on him when he transfered a couple of years ago.  It was not good.  It was how he didn't want to work and expected to have everything handed to him and would not show up to practice.  The thing about those kind of reports is if it is just from a couple of people, it may be jealousy.  But this was from like half the team and coaching staff.  So maybe he has changed and seen the light.  But usually if someone has some of those traits when they don't have money, when they get money they are alot worse.  Interviews with kids like that are key.

A few guys I tend to focus on 3rd round and later:

QBs: Jordan Ta'amu (Miss.) - I don't love this QB class, but Ta'amu is a guy I can get behind. Let him sit behind Cam and learn the offense. I think he would be a perfect fit over guys like Tyree Jackson (Buffalo) and Clayton Thorson (Northwestern).

RBs: Darnell Henderson (Memphis) and David Montgomery (Iowa St.). I think Montgomery would be the pick given his ability to pass block.

WRs: DaMarkus Lodge (Miss.) and KeeSean Johnson (Fresno St.) - I love WRs who are willing to block, especially in this offense where so much runs through CMC. Johnson has some pretty good hands and might be one of the best route runners in the class. Lodge has all the tools but has been inconsistent .

Edge: Oshane Ximines (Old Dominion) - Ximines could possibly go at the end of the 2nd round if a team falls in love with him, but I see him in the 3rd and would be perfect for the 3-4 defense. I love his ability to rush the QB, and thats what you would be drafting him for.

Totally agree about Hurd. He was RB1 over Alvin Kamara in Knoxville. Not suggesting that was the right move, but he was impressive enough to convince the coaches that was the right move.

At the RB position, Montgomery is perfect for what we need. Not sure why he isn’t being mocked higher. Same for Benny Snell.

DeAndre Walker but now that he can workout, he’s climbing up draft boards. I’ve already seen late 1st and early 2nd picks for him on a lot of mock drafts.

he and Chase Winovich have been my favorite picks for 2nd and 3rd rounds if we took an OT at 16. 

Actually im totally on drafting one of them even if we do draft Burns or Ferrell at 16.

I really like TCU DE LJ Collier. Should go around day 3? He reminds me a lot of Charles Johnson. Doesn't have the length, but extremely heavy handed. I see him as a poor man's version of Rashan Gary. You lose out on the freaky athletic ability, but without having to pay a top 15-20 pick price and he would provide a similar role and point of attack play. Could be a real useful piece for our new front.

Here's a guy that's a round late second/third round projection and may pacify the Sweat/Burns folks if neither of those guys are the first round selection, OShane Ximines out of Old Dominion.  A little slower 40 in the mold of a traditional 4-3 DE, but was very productive getting after the QB in college.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
