Just some food for thought on this idea of taking a DT (Wilkins/Lawrence) etc. 

Per -- https://panthergf.wordpress.com/2019/01/19/2019-draft-prospect-visit-workout-meeting-list/

The only ''private'' work outs we've had at the position are:

Dre'Mont Jones & Khalen Saunders 

Meanwhile at...

Edge - Sweat / Burns 

T - Dillard / Taylor / Ford / Little / Williams 

Have all had private workouts, also factor in -- http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001027883/article/teams-believe-montez-sweats-heart-condition-misdiagnosed -- and I think the odds at 16 lean more towards the players at ''Edge & OL'' vs an interior DL with the ability to play 34 End. People need to remember we're ''not switching'' to a 34. We're adding more looks from the Odd fronts to pair with our Even fronts.

We may have met with him as "local" visit, and it may not have been reported.

That is what I was thinking--besides, they know what he can do--his tape demonstrates his versatility--they are likely to become enamored with his character--he is a class act--by spending time with him.  Who knows, but  that is my "pro Wilkins" theory.

And playing hybrids makes the need for versatile DT/DEs a necessity. 

What is our 3 man front right now? Who is our SDE in 4-3? How many if any of our current players at DT/DE will be here next year? 

  Don’t know if they will, but there are numerous reasons for a player like Wilkins who can fill multiple holes.

I could be mistaken, but I think we had numerous 1st round picks under Hurney where we did not meet with that guy, at least not that was publicly known.

That is fair, HOWEVER it ''seems'' as though Hurney 2.0 is proving to be more diligent and intentional in his dealings, remember all the attention DJ Moore received...

If you look at the 2018 list -- https://panthergf.wordpress.com/2018/01/18/2018-draft-prospect-visit-workout-meeting-list/

We met with a TON of receivers, however only -- Moore / Ridlley / Kirk / Miller got ''PRI'' workouts

Of all the Corners that we met with -- Duke Dawson / Mike Hughes / Donte Jackson got PRI'' workouts

So all I'm saying is we might have a ''new Marty trend'' for at least the early picks, when you look at three of our latter round selections...

Gaulden (Pro Day and I believe a connection a coacj on our staff that worked with him in college, Rodriguez I think), & Thomas (Senior Bowl) did not participate in private work outs. We were at Jermaine Carter's Pro-Day

Note* PRI for Ronnie Harrison who I think was still available when we selected Gaulden, so did that coach beat the table for him, or was there something we didn't like on Harriosn's visit

So as I pour over the information and try to inform my own educated / informed to the best of what's available opinion I have a hard time thinking we are considering DT early, based on a potential trend shared with our two high selections last year. 

Just some food for thought.

Don't we typically meet with guys we have ?'s on and not guys we are certain about?

      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.
