Camp body? 

So, not a single offensive player drafted this year. I guess the answer is on the roster (or free agency).

Our UDFAs will probably be offense heavy.

Not the FIU guy I wanted, but he'll suffice.

Louis Riddick's Summary
 

Loooonnnngggg Pause . . . 

Ummmh, I didn't have this one. Fills what remains of his breakdown time with platitudes likely while giving someone a death stare.

STANTLEY THOMAS-OLIVER IIIDB, CAROLINA PANTHERS

 

Panthers selected Florida International CB Stantley Thomas-Oliver III with the No. 221 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. 

A converted wideout, Thomas-Oliver III (6'0/192) quickly made an impact in Conference USA, earning honorable mention honors in 2018. He improved to second-team in 2019, making big plays at every level of the field with eight PBUs, two sacks, a pick and two forced fumbles. Thomas-Oliver III will likely need time to season on the practice squad, but he has the size, athleticism and instincts to continue to progress at his new position

I don’t know anything about the kid but I like his size. Rhule has clearly done his research more than Ron ever had. It didn’t take long for Rhule to figure out that there are y’all lengthy receivers like Julio, Evans and Thomas in the division. Going size and speed vs size and speed. All the DBs we took this week are 5’11”’ up

This feels a lot more thought out and not nearly as desperate as the other 3 CB 2016 draft. Hope STO (I guess) balls out.

[bigdavis]

Gonna be some spirited competition among these CBs.  Good.

Give it up fort Matt Rhule and

@Panthers

. They just made draft history. All 7 of their picks on the defensive side of the ball. In the common draft era which dates back to 1967 that had never happened before

Think about our divisions WRs I see a direct correlation. Rhule wants to win

So here is the best part about the pick.  It’s not the player necessarily. But after watching tape he plays a lot of man coverage.  Pride play a decent amount of man as well.  
 

So we had to go get these man corners to replace some of RR old zone only throw aways.  
 

Could we actually be putting some of the soft zone bullshit behind u a finally?  

I HOPE SO

Has any other team spent their all of their picks on defense before

ESPN says we are the first to do so since the merger

7th rounders are basically throwaways. However, there is some potential here as he has limited time at DB and could be a late bloomer. Keeping an eye on him.
