The plan for Shenault

From Joe Person in The Athletic

Person's speculation:

Shenault could fit in a lot of different places as soon as he gets comfortable in Ben McAdoo’s offense. The two were together for a season in Jacksonville when McAdoo was the Jaguars’ quarterbacks coach. So he’s well familiar with Shenault’s dual-threat ability.

According to TruMedia, Shenault lined up in the backfield 41 times in two seasons with Jacksonville. He had five catches for 17 yards out of the backfield to go with 18 carries for 72 yards.

Rhule's comments:

Rhule said the Panthers are happy with their Christian McCaffrey-led running back group and that Shenault would not be attending meetings with the backs. But it’s easy to envision McAdoo coming up with a special package for Shenault, especially considering how impressed Rhule was when he watched the tape of Shenault’s running plays.

“Again, that’s not the vision for him,” he said. “But when you see a guy that runs the football and runs through contact the way he does. Put him out on the perimeter, he brings an edge to your offense that you love to have.”

Shenault's feelings:

Shenault, who reached 600 receiving yards in both of his seasons in Jacksonville, is cool with the comparisons to Patterson, the Rock Hill, S.C., native whose 153 rushing attempts last year with Atlanta were more than twice as many as his previous single-season high.

But Shenault doesn’t want people to forget about his receiving skills. “Hopefully, I’m able to get in different positions and take that top off,” he said, “because I’m very capable of doing so.”

To be clear, while Rhule's comments don't echo what Person expects,  that could just be an attempt to not let slip how they plan to use him.

Guess we'll see in about ten days...

Interesting he is not in the RB room. You would think they would want to have him mirror CMC so the offense doesn't have to change much if he goes down. Sounds like he is going to have his own place in the offense. Threats everywhere, just got to give Baker time. 

I'm not sure I buy that statement.

Even if true, it could be a "for now" type of thing.

Hes gunna be a guy they you get the ball to near the line of scrimmage some way or fashion and hes going to run full speed to truck someones ass

 

hes a WR but he brings that physicality and toughness. Just get him in motion. may or may not get the ball..  just another option that a defense has to account for. Hes not the classic outside WR.  Hes gadget. and theres nothing wrong with that. a smart OC will know how to use him. wether thats getting him the ball or making the defense think hes getting the ball.  when you gave up a couple late round picks for a guy, if he contributes at all thats a win. 500 yards and a couple TDs via short pass, end arounds, misdirections, crossing routes...  dats money duuude 

 

between Him, CMC, DJM..  and a QB that can quickly them the ball this is going to be YAC city and im stoked

It's interesting the Jaguars traded Shenault so late in training camp. He was their #2 receiver in yards and receptions last season. He did have 8 drops though and when you put on the tape, he struggles to get separation on the outside.

I guess they just straight up decided Christian Kirk is taking his snaps and booted him out of town? Gotta give the big money guy his snaps I guess. Maybe their loss is our gain?

I liked him in the draft and I'm still intrigued. But the trade value pretty much says the NFL has all but given up on him. I hope we can find a way to maximize his abilities.

If that were true there would not have been several teams bidding, including us I believe the total was 5 teams. 

It was a numbers game -- JAX added Marvin Jones, paid Kirk, and also added Zay Jones, and are under a new GM and regime. 

600+ yards as a rookie and sophomore in JAX with Minshew, and Trevor under Meyers is solid production. More than we got out of our 2nd round pick TMJ, who I am still high on, the OL + Darnold was just not an environment for an offense to be productive.

Two years left on a deal for a top 45 pick, part of the negotiation also centers around the fact you have to pay the salary as well. 

Also JAX had little leverage, so it's all in the hands of the teams that are interested. 

If you don't like the addition it's whatever, but it's evident looking at the situation / stats / skill set, that we added a player with more potential than a Brandon Zylstra, or Keith Kirkwood. 

And no one referenced ''bidding war'' you're just using hyperbole to exaggerate the point you are attempting to make. Just like there was interest from several teams in regard to Mims, but the price was too low. JAX decided to get ''something'' versus just releasing him, or keeping him while paying him with no plans for him in the offense.

If he can make the game day active roster, contribute some and improve over the year I would be happy with the trade. Expecting this guy to come in and do more than that is a bit more than I can do after watching Henderson struggle last year but take a step this year.

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
