Was Christensen the biggest surprise?

I thought he had one of those false starts in the 3 or 4 they had in a row in the 4th?  

BC was playing LG.  1st one was RT Monteiro, the second was LT Ivey, and third was everyone but the center, so the center had the snap wrong.

Another pleasant surprise was Kenny Robinson leading the defense in PFF grade with an 89.7 and they moved him around a lot.

He was basically a rookie last year.  The XFL, while not college, was still a bunch of nobodies.  Since it was dubbed a "professional league", the outside expectations were a little higher for him than rest of the day 3 picks.  Kenny was kinda written off when he did little better than the guys drafted around him.  In reality he looked like a day 3 draft pick who needed a ton of work despite playing "professional football" in the XFL.

I think it isn't a surprise.  Going from college to the NFL is difficult.  One of his attributes that he came to us with was athletism.  He's getting good coaching and he's learning his craft.  I hope he gets some time with the 1s and learns even more.

IMO he'll continue to develop and soon he'll be in the starting line up for many years to come for us.

The biggest surprise was that they coaches refuse to try him at LT. Why hes being banished to backup RT duties is beyond me. Try him at LT and LG as he’s played on the left side his entire career and the shift to the right side isn’t easy. The decision to try him at LT, however, is very easy and it blows my mind the coaches won’t do this

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
