It's pretty clear we don't see him as the answer at LT.  I wouldn't mind seeing him get a preseason shot at playing guard.  While it wouldn't be an ideal outcome for us, if he turns into a serviceable guard at least the pick wasn't a waste.

Shouldn't players you place at the OG position be eager to be physical instead of being eager to NOT be physical?

My only question  in regards to Little is why is he still on the roster?

We have seen who he was and even the new coaches decided to sit him when we were desperate for bodies at his position last year. Healthy scratch in year 3 when desperate for warm bodies? Move him for anything at this point. We resigned Scott so we have a backup in place, go get another player to try and become a starter. Trade this one to WTF for a 7th 3 years from now.

Would you rather just wash out a second round draft pick or perhaps give him an opportunity to earn a roster spot?  We have him.  He's cheap.  If he becomes a starting guard, great.  If not, we can walk away and say we gave him every opportunity to make it here.  There is no down side to giving him a chance.

good back up LT/LG behind Scott, Erving, Miller, Daley and who ever we draft. But if somebody wanted to trade a 6th or 7th rd pick for him, I would think they would take it. 

Even if he isn't really worth either a 6th or 7th round pick.  There is enough tape on him to show he is a liability.  Never did like the pick and trade.

I’m not going to lie. Little was a legit LT coming out of Ole Miss. His measurements were great. Arm length of 35”. One of the reasons why I think that I’m not going to knit pick Rashawn Slater so much due to his short arm length.

I know people don't like WalterFootball.com but they did hit it on the nose about Little in their scouting report that year.  That he took plays off and had trouble with speed and physical edge rushers.

OK buddy, you explain that to Big Sam Darnold as he continually gets pile-driven to the ground by the DT coming over Greg Little's OG spot, mmmmK?

Dear Foreskins,

We inherited Greg Little from the renown talent sage, Marty Hurney.  We have no doubt Marty is correct, he really is a diamond in the rough, but unfortunately, we are just too incompetent to develop him to his full potential.  We firmly believe he is not only a diamond, but the Hope diamond. 

We realize our limitations are simply holding him back.  Thus, we reluctantly would like to offer the future superstar to you for the low, low price of a 5th round draft choice.  It is only fair to him that we start of offers to the team we believe can give him the development and opportunity his extraordinary talent richly deserves.  It is what is best for him.

But wait, if you act in the next 15 minutes, we will give you not only Greg Little, but also include the emerging star QB, Will Grier.  Just pay a separate fee.  We believe your development process will benefit him, as well.

We are humbled, and acknowledge that no one can see talent like Marty Hurney.  Unfortunately, we do not deserve these talents as we are unable to nurture them.

Sincerely,

The Panthers

      Draft Week Rumors, Leaks and Media Draftniks Final Mocks

      By PleaseCutStewart · Posted

      Hard to interpret some of Brugler's opinions. Capable of running a robust route tree sounds like a lazy thing to say - I'm sure just about every slot TE is capable of running a full route tree... I want to know if he is currently able to (which from tape leads me to a no). Granted, it's pretty common for most receivers/TE not having a full route tree developed before they get drafted. Agility/acceleration after the catch hasn't shown up on his tape (at least his Oregon tape) for those dig/out breaking routes while it has for the seam and slant routes. Agree he has a good physical build and he is very good running seam routes. His build definitely helps him to shield defenders and create a large target point for the QB. Drops were a concern, but it could be focus drops just like T-Mac was/is prone to. Run blocking is an accurate statement, but again, we have only seen him run block in the slot/backfield - inline blocking is a whole different animal. With his athleticism, he definitely has a high ceiling. I just think he also has a low floor and don't like taking that big of a risk on a mid 1st rounder. I think this is a deep TE draft and would much rather target one in the 3rd or later. He's very boom or bust to me - bust in terms of being worth a 1st round pick, not an out of the NFL in a few years type bust. I feel like he gives me Evan Engram vibes. Not saying that Evan Engram was/is a bad NFL player, just that most people would agree he shouldn't have been drafted in the 1st.

      I mean I would love 6-1. It’s funny the hurricanes usually dominate the first game and win by three or four goals. But keep the second game close. It would be nice if it’s the reverse of that tonight.

      Brugler has him as TE1 and going to the Ravens in the first.  Apparently Sadiq's football IQ is pretty high (interviewed very well).  Also he was an WR and CB in high school.  This is why I always thought his route running was solid.  I'm sure it needs some polishing but for a TE it's pretty good. nfl.com Built like a bodyguard with a compact, well-defined frame. Capable of running a robust route tree. Gets in and out of breaks with good snap and separation. Vandalizes defensive seams with impunity against man coverage. Survives collisions with catches thanks to his hand strength. Shows off agility and acceleration after the catch. Fits up run blocks with proper positioning and base width. Grips and presses forward with moving feet to stay connected. -Again I don't know if we should take him but if he goes to the right team he could become a scary weapon at the next level.  I just like him as a prospect.
