I'm a little surprised Nixon was the odd man out but the bottom line is we signed a player at a position lacking depth to play a role that needs shoring up (run defense), while cutting a player at a position where there was already something of a logjam. Maybe it's a little early to give up on a draft pick but at the same time, if you're getting outplayed by players drafted later than you, I don't think you're entitled to a roster spot. Practice squad makes sense, where they can still see if his career can be salvaged without wasting a premier spot on the 53. You'd like to hit on your 5th rounders but the truth of the matter is they rarely get 2nd contracts.

Sounds like Henry anderson is a Morgan Fox type player,but elder.🤔

Im surprised Nixon got cut,but in these preseason games,Hoskins was playing better,so that's fine.

Roy and McCall are 1 tech DT,not the same.

Henry Anderson has 3" and 40 pounds on Morgan Fox, seems like he favors interior moves so I could see some 3-4/3-3-5 stuff with him and YGM/Ioanidis as the DE's, Burns/Luvu/Brandon Smith/Barno/Haynes as OLB rushers

Two starters in a draft is a good draft. If TMJ or Shi comes through, it will be a damned good one.

2 starters is fine out of all those picks? Thats a good draft Thats funny...a huge knock on hurney was that he couldnt hit in the later rounds so therefore i automatically expected more from fitt. If you already CUTTING players a year later instead of jist being buried on deoth chart its never a good sign.

Shi might be the saving grace.  I would agree with you in a standard 7 pick draft or fewer.  We had 11 picks in that draft.  Horn and Chirstensen are looking like the starters.  Tremble remains to be seen.  Taylor is about is get squeezed out of a deep CB room at the end of the depth chart.

The wildcard really is Shi Smith who may be the starting slot WR.

Only 5 of the 11 picks came in the first four rounds. Just because we had 6 picks in the last three rounds doesn’t mean we should expect more than a typical late round value.

Unimpressed.  I'm aware of Anderson and who he is, but I just don't like cutting Nixon.  If he is fully recovered from his injury, I wxpect him to get quickly signed by another team and eventually become a really solid contributor.  In his limited action last season in real games, he was very impressive.  I definitely thought he was better than Hoskins...  but, I don't think we really have heard much from Nixon since coming back, so I guess it's possible he isn't the same after his injury?

Overall, it was a great draft.  Shi has proven he is a starter, and honestly, out if potential, Tremble should be as well.  And I still am really high in Taylor.  I think he is an NFL starter, and a really good one.  But, he's behind two Top 10 picks, a d a guy the staff loves and views as a leader in DJax.  Taylor would be starting if not for that...  I dont think he gets squeezed out.  I think he continues to develop, and by the time Henderson comes up for a new contract, we'll know whether he's the better option or not.  What Fitt has done at CB really reminds me of the Hawks glory days...  they did the same thing.  Drafted and signed so many guys with very similar specific traits, coached them up, developed them, and it was like an embarrassment of riches during the LOB days.

Morgan wasn't as strong against the rush as he was expected to be.

This.

Fox played almost 200 snaps more than YGM but only had 1 FF, 1.5 sack, 34 combined tackled, 2 TFL, and 2 QB Hits.

Yetur, on the other hand, had 1 PD, 1 FF, 3.5 sacks, 28 combined tackles, 5 TFL, and 4 QB Hits.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
