I've been mocking Chase Brown and Dewayne McBride a lot in the middle of the draft. If I miss out there, I take Ibrahim and Spears late.  Abanikanda is in the middle of those selections.  We have to take a RB because Foreman is a short term answer and Chuba is too inconsistent.

If you liked Terrell Davis and want the same kind of value that translated to the NFL, then this is your RB. His work ethic, power, agility, quickness, patience, instincts, blocking, and leadership are all there. He can tight rope a sideline while bulldozing LBs. Pushes the pile and has a powerful lean that a single defender struggles to stop. I doubt he would light up the combine, but put him on a football field and he will score TDs and get 1st downs. Best redzone RB in the draft. Best blocking RB in the draft. NFL ready.

Thanks for the links. A lot of value at RB late in this draft. If we were sticking with McAdoo's offense, I think Ibrahim could give you >80% of what Foreman did this year as a rookie, and we'd have him cheap for 4 years. I'm not sure he's a fit for all offenses/downs though. I do like him in short yardage situations.

Kendre Miller TCU 6’0 220 


Devon Achane 5’9 185lb

Tank Bigsby 6’0 213lb

 

Sexy day 3 may be Cam Peoples, out of App State, if he can stay healthy. 6'2 225 lbs and ran all over every P5 opponent that App played, including Texas A&M. Had 95 yards against Miami in 2021 when he went out midway through the 3rd quarter. Ran for over 100 against UNC. 

Big guy who literally runs through, over, and around people. 

If Achane is a Day 2 pick then I am a monkey's uncle.

If only this guy was taller. His agility, small stature, and field vision remind me of the player we just traded. The skillset is there though along with the production...almost 30 total touchdowns in the last two seasons. 

I'd definitely pick him up in the later rounds. If he's still there in the 5th, no questions asked. 

Gut feeling our "sexy" draft will go QB, WR, RB, LB, WR. Double dip at WR depending on our HC....nothing is off the table.  

If you want a RB this is definitely the draft to get one. I also like Achane and Charbonnet.

Big fan of the RB class.  Could find a stud with any of our midrounders from the late SF-2nd to our 5th.    

Charbonnet, Abanikanda, Roschon Johnson, Chase Brown, & my fave Tyjae Spears.  

I just love what Spears did this year.  Tulane closed out beating, what, like 4 ranked teams in a row (including USC in the Cotton Bowl), and it was in large part because of him.

Saw a stat on Bigsby (being an Auburn guy) that the average distance he rushed last season prior to the opposing defense making contact with him was 1/2 yard.  Which means if you look at his statistics from last season, the VAST majority of his 2022 rushing yards were YAC.

Auburn’s OL was *awful* last year.

Honestly i say we roll with what we got, lock up foreman for four years and keep with chuba and alternating. depends on the coach thought, but we have potential at the position that I don't think needs to be messed with.

I'd rather just draft a 4th round or later RB or sign an undrafted guy to replace Foreman while using the money that you would have paid him to pay for more Oline or Dline players.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
