Newton mentioned Horn as a great fit for the Panthers...if he fell to the second round.

Obviously I'm biased but I really think Horn is the best CB in the draft. As a true corner, he is the best to come out of Columbia that I have ever watched, including Gilmore. If he had INTs before this year (nobody threw at him) and the team was successful, I have no doubt he would be talked about top 10. His pro day numbers just solidified that to me. 

FTR, he also posted a 4.39. He's not slow by any means but I was not expecting that.

I think we are waiting to see if the QB picture clears up so we can sign a free agent--QB or CB.

  • LT:  Erving and Scott (slightly below average)
  • LT: Rookie like Leatherwood, Erving, and Scott (average)
  • CB:  #1: Jackson, #2 Pride  (below average)
  • CB: #1 Top free agent, #2 Jackson:  (slightly above average)

 

By adding a #1 CB, you get better at 2 positions and have better depth that can play.

By adding a rookie starting LT, you may improve at LT, but you bury recent signees Scott and Erving.  That just does not sound like the plan that is in place.  They are deliberately (it seems) not addressing CB--with any sense of urgency or significance.

I have to think we are looking at QB, CB, then T.  I am guessing that they will take a look at Scott/Erving for a year because they feel as if they have upgraded LG.

I think I've got a pretty good idea where they're going to be tomorrow.

 

Wonder how many Jets reps will be in attendance?  If there are a lot of coaches, you have to wonder if they are comparing him to Darnold.

    • I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.
    • Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.  
    • Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
