He's a little off on Scarlett, compliment I 100% agree, however...

Christian McCaffrey is listed as 5'11'' / 205 lbs (NFL.com)

Jordan Scarlett is listed as 5'11'' / 208

You hear / read a lot about how he just ''runs over, and trucks defenders'' that's not really his game, he is a very physical runner, but timed faster than McCaffrey (4.47 vs 4.49) he's a very similar style of runner, but has a little more power to his game, but not enough to talk as though he's going to plow through defenses. 

If anything the road grater would be Elijah Holyfield(5'10 / 217) - https://www.nfl.com/prospects/elijah-holyfield?id=3219484f-4c79-9542-5012-235f6662a469

Scarlett is more of the same when it comes to running with an added level of physicality, but minus the receiving ability that CMC possesses, he' s compliment in the sense that we don't have to get too far away from what we run on the ground when we spell CMC.

I'm a big fan of the pick, and for all the talk about ''atrocious'' hands as a HB in the flats, swings, and generally close to the LOS, it's something he can improve. 

I am very excited about the potential of our backfield, I'd like to see these ^^^ make up the main depth. CAP is 29, and Hood is coming off an ACL.

Players can be similar in size and speed but be totally different styles of players.  Yes, they are both roughly similar in size and speed but to me Scarlett is more of a downhill one cut back and I would say CMC is more of a scat back with moves but still as we have send power to break first tackle.

      Daniel Jeremiah mocks KC Concepcion to the #Panthers 👏👏👏

      By Basbear · Posted

      The truth is @CarolinaLivin posted it and I took notice at the names and drove into the rabbit hole, just happen it lead to Plebbit. One of my favorite draft gurus loves KC, just that he's around other panther WRs that have struggled..I mean Im about the only XL supporter leftd. Im like 50/50, but honestly haven't done enough to feel strong either. The drop and zone stuff is not what I like the weakness to be, but he is explosive, play all 3 WR spots, and does have playmaking skills which is rare. Right now I wouldn't be upset if panthers used the 51st. Months ago I told the huddle to prepare for a early WR selection.

      Is Chubba on the Trading Block?

      By frankw · Posted

      I appreciate the optimism but there's no way in hell anyone is going to give us a 2nd or a 3rd. We'd legitimately be lucky to get a 5th. Logically it really makes no sense to move him this season anyways. We do know he is a high character guy and should be extra motivated to bounce back from last season. See how it goes and revisit next year.

      First Round Poll: Position Drafted

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I would add that it is probably likely that you need a T during the season--I am wildly speculating that they like something about Forsythe.  However, that is not enough.  We need 4 players who can play OT in the NFL---we have 3. That suggests that we are going to add an OT at some point.  Perhaps related, but probably a pure depth move: Brady Christensen is an interesting situation. He is likely to miss the first 2 months of the 2026 season, and he will be 30.  He can play all OL positions.  That would give depth when it is usually most needed--the last half of the season.  With his injury, I doubt his phone is ringing much.  I think I would offer a 2-year deal (1.5 if you want to be realistic) for the vet minimum.
