Could the Safety Answer already be on the roster?


Recommended Posts

No this isn’t about Gaulden. But another unheralded free agent option.

 

QUIN BLANDINGCAROLINA PANTHERS

Quin Blanding went undrafted out of Virginia following a productive 2017 season with the Cavaliers. He found his way to Carolina in 2018 and could be in line for meaningful snaps this season. Blanding currently sits behind Eric Reidand Rashaan Gaulden on the depth chart, but his play could be too hard to overlook this offseason.

Although he didn’t log any NFL snaps last season, he came out of Virginia after producing an 84.3 overall grade — eighth among draft-eligible safeties. He missed only 11 tackles on 144 tackle attempts and allowed only 21 receptions with eight combined interceptions and pass breakups. @PFF_Panthers: Quin Blanding didn’t log a snap as a UDFA for the #Panthers last season, but that doesn’t mean he should be overlooked. In his final season at Virginia, Blanding  allowed just one TD while snagging four INTS in coverage.

I don’t know much about the kid but seeing as he didn’t log a single snap last season but we retained him must mean there is something there. What say you!

I’m pretty sure he was a UDFA for the Falcons and just didn’t make it past roster cuts. Did we not pick him up recently?

I think Quinn. Is more of a depth SS.  As for FS my dark horse pick is Kai Nacua out of BYU.  He has the best athleticism of all the JAGS in the secondary.  And has been a ball hawk anywhere he goes.  No, I doubt he starts but a possible depth piece. 

 

So you think he'll bump Colin Jones out of a roster spot?  I doubt we carry more than four safeties.  Jones has had that reserve FS spot on lock down for a while; not so much because of his safety skills, but because he's our ST captain.

    • Damn Logan Jones had a good day too. Was high on him coming in as he anchored that top Iowa line and is a fire plug inside. He's gonna be 25 to start the season so maybe he slips into the 4th but I doubt it, even if C isn't a premium position. His play on the field was top notch and the combine boosted it again. Arm length is about the only knock. But guy is plug and play at C.   This is a loaded class at C. Need to grab one. 
    • Bryce will be permanently replaced by a draft pick. There's not another Sam Darnold out there to save us. Tepper is going to see this throw because he dumped Mayfield and Darnold too soon. He's going to give it 1 more year before he will sign off on dumping another 1st round pick qb. Thats the cold hard truth of it. It doesn't mean we can't get younger and much better at the backup position. 
    • Maybe I should have used a different word and saved that for me. I want someone that has something impressive about them.  Someone that has potential to supplant a guy who is producing 25th best type of numbers. 22nd, 27th all that bottom third neighborhood.  I don’t know where that will come from it just can’t be from even a 4th round pick this year IMO. Unless FA is crazy productive.    I’ll give Bryce a better than bottom rating for his playoff game. Well above low twenties. But at least half of his games were bottom third level. Probably 2/3 to 3/4 of them were.
