Later rounds draft crushes.. 3rd thru undrafted..

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.

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
