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.

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.

Was it Rivera or Richardson?

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.

    • You don't have to go through every game and point it out as we are discussing his GWDs. You specifically called out that he had GWDs because he is the reason the team is always playing from behind. We looked at those eight games and only Miami stands out as one where he put the team in a hole to begin with. You've added the Atlanta game where the team didn't score a TD but only kicked field goals. You're not trying to change what we're discussing to fit your feelings re: Bryce. That's not necessary. We are discussing GWDs per the thread topic. We have also shown that your opinion that the team has had to always come back due to Bryce was proven to be false as was the claim that "minus one game" was his fault. Appealing to emotion afterwards by trying to broadly paint the rest of the losses in the same way just doesn't work. Where in the Hell did you get that the entire point is the suggestion that BY is more clutch than Jake and/or Cam? It's giving something to be positive about in that Bryce has shown the ability to comeback and win games despite the calamity that might have taken place to put them behind to begin with. How is that blasphemy?
    • His run blocking is making up for his negatives in pass blocking right now.  He’ll still have pass blocking hiccups, but if they think he’s a critical part to the locker room and team construction, you probably re-sign him and try not to overpay.
    • Callahan is gone McDaniel and Taylor are happening Stefanski is a growing possibility. I mean, they need to get an offense going eventually.  Could see Morris as a surprise one.
