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?

      Through 2 games cltfc has 12 shot attempts. Opponents 23 shots on target. Attack sucks, Defense definitely sucks. Kahlina is the only reason they haven't given up 14 goals in two games.

      Steve Smith on Ron Rivera

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I met a few times--never liked him. I figured he might have had a bad day--but then realized that he must have a lot of bad days. Once he raised his voice at my son because my son did not understand a question when SS was signing his jersey.  I wanted the jersey to represent his encounter with a Panther great, not some small man with a bad attitude.  I told me son, "Forget it.  He was asking you what your name is (My son was about 7 and told me that he thought Smitty was going to write (my son's) name on the jersey.  He said "Dad, I thought he was supposed to write HIS name on the jersey, not mine."  I said, "He was personalizing it, writing it to you--like a birthday card."  He is now grown, and he has a steve smith Jersey that is framed and matted.  He keeps it is his closet.  I asked him, "Why not have that out on your wall?"  He said, "All I remember is an A-hole scribbled on my shirt.  I don't remember a legend or hero.  But he had a Jake Delhomme Jersey on his wall.  "Jake was great.  I will always remember that."  (Jake stayed and talked to us for about 5 minutes or more--GREAT guy.)

      Is it possible for someone to regress in maturity as they age or has Steve really just been a jerk his entire life?
