Interesting excerpt from the end:

Quote

Noteworthy: Alabama's Landon Dickerson, unavailable to play or practice with a knee injury, was nevertheless on the field and strongly attuned to instruction from Carolina Panthers coaches. Dickerson was working on technique with fellow interior offensive lineman David Moore, of Grambling, between reps.

Yes pls

Only thing, dont thing he make it to our 3rd pick.  

Posted a thread about him the other week.  And the consensus among people here, they didnt want to touch him until the late rds due to injuries.

 

Dickerson is from Hickory, NC

 

 

 

Really started to like the idea of Onwuzurike as a potential 3-tech replacement for KK beside of Brown

He’d fit in with the culture we’re trying to build but man he gets injured a lot. 

If he gets injured a lot at 20-21, he doesn’t stand a chance at 25-27 (with a longer nfl season).

Sounds like he isn’t worth any pick.

My wife’s from Hickory and that gives me a good reason to follow this young man. I’m glad I’m not alone on thinking he’s an injury risk. We really need to build up our o-line and hope we’re actually serious this time about doing so.

Big men with injury histories are a failed draft pick waiting to happen.  There's another Tide player, O Lineman, similar excellent character, great when he is healthy, but terrible injury history.  We can't afford that sort of risk.  A winning organization doesn't take chances, they make calculated decisions.

I'm just excited that we're vetting center prospects. Paradis is a potential cap casualty and the team needs the future pivot for the OL. There are a several very intriguing center prospects this year:

  • Creed Humphrey (Oklahoma)
  • Landon Dickerson (Alabama)
  • Trey Hill (Georgia)
  • Tyler Linderbaum (Iowa)
  • Josh Myers (Ohio State)
  • Drake Jackson (Kentucky)

If the team is looking to continue the rebuild and not rush to win now, I'd love to see them scoop up a young guy to either learn for a year or supplant Paradis.

Love, love, love Creed. Kid's going to be a stud at the next level.

Interior offensive lineman don't need to be big names to be good in the NFL, there's a lot of potential starters at the Senior Bowl. I knew Humphrey would be hyped here bc he went to a big time program and has a cool name but thankfully you can find good players on the line all throughout the draft. Dickerson is always injured so that should be a big red flag, esp if you complain about Greg Little not being able to stay healthy.

    • I must apologize, my sarcasm at times doesnt translate well in text form lol. At this point I would welcome us signing him, Trey Lance, trading for Jameis Winston, asking about Deshaun Watson and playing phone tag with Tom Brady before I ever fully entertain a season of Bryce Young being the defacto Starting Quarterback of the Panthers.

    • We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.
