Calais Campbell- 6'7 290,

5.11 40, 16 bench, 29.5 vert, 111 broad, 4.69 shuttle, 7.45 3 cone

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Epenesa - 6'5 275

5.04, 17 bench, 32.5 vert, 117 broad,  4.46 shuttle, 7.34 3 cone.

 

 

Everyone knew who watched film, that he wasnt a speed freak.  Now was he a tad slower in the 40 than some thought? Yes, I thought itd be closer in the 4.8s.  But freak speed doesnt mean your going to be successful either.  If that were that case Emmanuel Ogbah would be an all-pro.  

Epenesa wins and is successful in other ways, similar to Calais Campbell.  This why some have that comp for him.  His play power, length, and technique is why he will be successful.  Those with his tools is why he is a perfect fit at SDE in a more multiple 4-3..

I don't think many were surprised that he didn't test out as a great athlete. Again, he is on the end of the athletic scale that typically doesn't end up as being an elite NFL player. Could he? Absolutely. Additionally, just because he may not be an elite prospect doesn't mean he might not be an 8+ year NFL starter or roster contributor. You have to weigh whether you believe his high intangibles will outweigh his lower athleticism.

I wouldn't even be against drafting him(depending on position). I am just acknowledging his limitations as a prospect were known prior to the Combine.

I would love this trade, but I would not use it as capital to move back up.  The real value in the draft is the 3rd round and if the Raiders are dumb enough to give up two picks, I'm all for it.

I'd take the best S, LB and remaining DT. Go CB and DT in rounds one and two. In rounds four or five come back with another CB.  That leaves some room for a few offensive picks that would otherwise be luxury picks on the back end of the draft.  Probably a center and WR.  Take BPA in the 7th round.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
