2019 draft picks


Recommended Posts

I have seen a couple of posters mentioning practice squad for some of our draft picks.

I m here to say now. All 7 will be on the roster.

Obviously Burns, Little and Grier are no brainers. 

Miller IMO is also a no brainer but I have seen where some posters think he needs to be on the practice squad. He'll be gone in a moment if we waive him and try and stash him on PS. Too much upside.

We might not have room for Scarlett but same as Miller we'll lose him. I think he has shown he can be a valuable sub for CMC on game day.  I think the battle for the power back is between Holyfield and CAP.

Daly, is valuable and needed for depth. Might clear waivers but it will be extremely risky.

Goodwin, after his performance Thursday he'll be another that never clears waivers. 

So IMO we have these 7 players already on the team.

If we waive any of them they won't be on our PS.

I can say our 2018 draft is looking really good now. In 2019 we drafted for need and depth so we better keep them because some positions take a lot of hits and we may need someone to step in at some point. It’s all about that championship, we better be deep enough to maintain high level of play to win it.

I have to say I agree.  We need to start building through the draft and stop having one year rental players if we are gonna have the depth to make a run for championship.  

I think by the end of camp Scarlett will be the #2. Daley will be kept for his versatility.  And I think Godwin will be a starting PR.  Yes Mickens is ok.  But nothing seems too big for Godwin. He’s just so smooth.  Great hands.  And has the potential to replace Wright in years to come.  I think he will be one hell of a security blanket with those hands. 

I’m gonna add one last player.  Corion Ballard.  No, not for the 53.  But for the PS.  He flashed the other night.  Led the team in tackles and was everywhere on the field.  Should good recognition.   And isn’t afraid to hit.  I like that kid out of Utah.

The x factor in all of this is Rivera and his vet love. I can realistically see Godwin being cut to keep T. Smith. I like to think the others will stick, but never underestimate Riveras love of guys to ride the pine.

Was it Rivera or Richardson?

Little will make or break the draft class. Either Burns or miller should be a legit 8 year panther player. I already said a few times, this was BY FAR my favorite Hurdawg draft class. I didnt like Scarlett was my biggest beef and a former scout loved the guy.

Neither,  the Vet love thing is overstated.  Rivera has no more or less love for vets than most coaches.  But plenty of rookies have started for us since Rivera has been here.  In fact, we have started rookies at just about every position during Ron's tenure here.  The list of rookies that have  started for us during Ron's time here is a long one.   

Cam Newton
Christian Mccaffrey
DJ Moore
Curtis Samuel
Ian Thomas
Trai Turner
Scott Norwell
Tre Boston
Donte Jackson
Bradberry
Tyler Larsen
Kelvin Benjamin
Devin Funchess
Luke Kuechly
Shaq Thompson
Star
Short
and some others I am probably forgetting

I agree Little will be the deciding factor on the greatness of this draft. I believe he will be as advertised.  

So many people that disagreed with the pick and want to see him fail so they can justify they are smarter than Hurney. They look and over evaluate each rep and see nothing but mistakes. 

We won't mention that the Tackle position is one of the most difficult positions to transition from the college to professional football.  To further their claim all they have to do is go back and see how many first round OT picks were busts.

Our decision to draft him was solid and IMO all he needs is some coaching.  We arguably have the best OL coach in the league and his assistant is not that bad either.

    • Ummm not sure adding anther 5'9 180 pound soaking wet forward is the way to go here.....    
    • What has happened in HS athletics busted full force into the college world with this NIL/transfer portal stuff. HS sports has been jacked up for a long time now. You have all these "prep schools" that are basically just diploma mills for athletes who hoover up all the good athletes they can get and they're all on scholarship. Then they go out and recruit decent athletes with rich parents to come onboard and pay outrageous tuition while they tout their success at getting their athletes college scholarships. Yeah, those athletes getting college scholarships are the same ones you're giving scholarships to so that you can use them to recruit the rich kids whose parents can pay for it all. You see the same thing in youth travel ball leagues. The whole thing is just getting crazy.
    • It's your right to refer to it as vague, but it still flouts the theory of "zero evidence" that Tepper is changing. Here's another: "Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan are reportedly being given a larger leadership role within the organization. Panthers owner David Tepper 'has taken a more hands-off approach of late,' according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. 'He's trying to trust Canales and GM Dan Morgan to get it right, knowing that the roster requires patience in its current state,' Fowler wrote. 'We shall see if he holds to that.'" https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10146782-report-panthers-david-tepper-has-taken-a-more-hands-off-approach-to-team   ""David Tepper just wants to win and he's gonna supply everything that we need to win.. Things are changing around here and things are looking really positive" ~ Dan Morgan  https://x.com/PatMcAfeeShow/status/1917639137550627107?t=6vgo8yXTO6eD0Gb55hyzNg&s=19   From about 2:15-6:35, Julian Council, Locked on Panthers, gives his take on whether Tepper seems to be changing (and specifically referenced the war room in his analysis):    Dean Jones of Cat Crave on David Tepper in the war room. "He was an innocent bystander throughout a hugely important decision, placing full trust in Morgan and Tilis to make the right call." Jones also quoted Pat McAfee: "What I noticed though, at one point, they looked at (David) Tepper to get an answer, Tepper didn’t say sh*t. All anybody has said about Tepper is that he’s hands-on, hands-on, hands-on. Too handsy, too involved. He’s not letting the football people do their thing. We just watched in the biggest moment for their franchise, a top ten pick, he just sat there and let everybody do their jobs. I think if you’re a Panthers fan, you love everything you saw there." https://catcrave.com/silence-from-david-tepper-becomes-panthers-loudest-victory Granted, you're not getting a major headline here, but that's not going to happen anyway. Fowler isn't exactly a nobody, everybody knows McAfee, and you also have some locals that follow the team (including Dean Jones). Of course you have a right to believe that Tepper hasn't really changed, but to say there is no evidence that he just may be changing is not really true. It's just not. Hate the guy, but the way that he has handled this current regime is different than he handled previous teams, and his silence in the war room and publicly in general is different than years back.
