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.

Yep...great measurable but raw due to the switch from wr.  I expect to see him on the PS

Everyone in the 7th is going to have some kind of significant flaw. I'd rather it be that they are still raw and fully learning the position but have all the physical tools and athleticism to translate to NFL. He can develop on either the practice squad or maybe even the 53 since we're a bit light on talent and have him spend most of his time on special teams his rookie year.

Yes-he has a lot to learn---he has the skills and gifts, so we can use him to gauge how good this staff is.  These WRs turned CBs know how to think like a WR--they know what WRs are taught--if he gets if figured out, he could be good.  With expanded rosters and special teams, who knows?

Didn't Morgan go 4th round----before Fromm?

We had some names to sign tonight---a few were qbs, I think. 

 

Yep and not too long after Eason.  I remember when I started mocking Morgan people thought he was some no-name joke.  Again, had he made it to the 5th round, I would have no zero complaints about drafting him.  We simply had way too many holes to fill to take a project QB before then, even one with the potential like Morgan.

Camp body? 

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

Most of the free agency money went to the offensive side of the ball..

    • That depends on where he's at because if you look at his first 3 seasons before he got sick he had 49 rec as a rookie followed by 56 and then his pro bowl season he had 103 rec. If he's somewhere between seasons 2 and 3 then that wouldn't be bad at all. We'll have to wait and see but from the few clips I've seen and the comments I've heard and read I wouldn't be surprised if that is the case. Personally, I'm really pulling for him and I think he's going to be the comeback player of the year. 
    • More praise of Renfrow from Tim Weaver (formerly of USA Today's Panthers Wire, now SI.com), and also what I told some of you, my Huddle friends, from the start: keep it all in perspective, and don't conveniently---and perhaps unfairly, discount and label Renfrow as a JAG when it was a very debilitating illness affecting his play.    "It's understandable to be skeptical about Renfrow's abilities at this late point in his career. After all, he missed all of last season due to a bout of ulcerative colitis that also took a serious toll on his production in 2022 and 2023."   When Renfrow is healthy, he's an above average guy. Being 29 may hurt or help his chances depending upon perspective, but 29 for receivers generally means that there's still (sometimes plenty) gas in the tank. Renfrow also obviously has plenty of motivation and has come with his game face.   "Then agan, seeing is believing and by all accounts Renfrow has been very impressive since joining the Panthers a few months ago... Where Renfrow will fit in Carolina's new-look receiver corps remains to be seen, but at this rate it's going to be hard to exclude him from the initial 53-man roster." https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/hunter-renfrow-sick-route-panthers-training-camp Read the room, ladies and gentlemen. And don't get it twisted; Renfrow isn't the most talented receiver on the team, but we have seen his ceiling, when healthy, in a Raiders offense that wasn't necessary replete with talent. Consider what he can do, especially in the slot, in a Panthers offense primed with young talent (no pun intended). From sick to "sick routes," eh?
