He'd make a pretty awesome nickel. 

We need a starter and after Captain I never want to see another little person pretending to be an NFL CB.

I feel for the guy. It's not fair but he is 5'9" and as far as I know no one makes platform cleats for the NFL.

 

Edit: 5'8" hell no. 6' plus or bust baby. This isn't the NCAA.

Other teams have Amik in the 40s, don't sleep on it.

But 5'8 in the league of giants.. We don't have a big Cb on the roster either.. Is getting a nickle CB more important then a outside CB??

Yeah that's just our division 6 games a year.. And we're talking about a nickle back???.   Oh and I forgot a refreshed  Gronk!!!  Yeah losing Bradberry may be the biggest lost this offseason... 

Get Logan Ryan on the phone..

Arbitrary lines in the sand are how you end up missing out on the Steve Smiths, Tyrann Mathieus, Maurice Jones-Drews, etc.

Good point... I see being small might help in offensive situations and playing in space on defense... But head to head 1 on 1 is a different story..

True but are those guys not the exception and not the rule? 

Plus we already have Jackson for our nickle spot. He isn't an outside CB, maybe one day but that isn't looking great.

There are all kinds of exceptions to the rules out there. Just look at most first round busts to see the flipside of that coin. Guys that checked just about every box but somehow still didn't translate. It's why scouting players will always be more art than science.

You’re wanting to draft like we’re going to be competitive this season or even next. 
 

If they have Amik ranked higher you take him and look to fill outside CB another time.

I get what you are saying but A) you expect Hurney to find that exception and B) isn't there other options that fill massive needs with better odds?

Look if we were a 12-4 team with a good roster then I wouldn't mind a swing for a homerun. Let's just get on base at this point.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
