Round 3 - The Carolina Panthers Select DJ Johnson - EDGE - Oregon

[imminent rogaine]

Would have rather had Riley Moss, ji’ayer brown, Trenton Simpson and Darnell Washington. Can’t wait to see this guy eat up a blocker for two years before we cut him.

The sad part is this dude was off the radar and no trade up was needed. We could have got him later. 

 

How do you not take Washington is mind boggling. Dude must have a serious injury we don't know about yet.

Lol

This is a bad pick no way around it.

 

Just reading the scouting report is says he is a project. The problem I have is he is already 25 years old.

 

By the time he's coached up he will be approaching 30. This is just a bad trade up. Washington was there for the taking.smh

You shouldn’t draft 25 year old projects..

No he is not. He is not a high character player and tends to be a hot head with little to no playmaking impact. JAG with potential that only a select few believe they can develop. He should have been a 5th round development player at best.

This FO with FItt is the same. They continue to trade up for developmental players they have no intention of using as impact players and reach with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round picks for players that will not be key players to win a championship. The Panthers continue to give away draft capital to other teams. Wasted championship level draft capital on QB after QB, and now this waste of draft capital.

So much for the high character BS from the organization.

Fitt has only had 3 drafts (including this one).

Hes done about as good a job as Hurney at drafting. Probably better all things considered. We have players we don’t know the true potential of yet because Rhule was HC. Dudes like TMJ, Shi Smith, Brandon Smith, Tremble, etc).

What I do like about Fitt is that he attacks needs. He doesn’t have a holy than though “Answer is on the roster” BS. He tries and he’s aggressive.

If Scott was here in the Ron era Cam would still be our QB. He would have got his ass a LT.

Maybe he'll play TE on 3rd down offense, Edge on 3rd down defense, and special teams. Who thought this was a good pick in the 3rd round with several impact players still on the board?

[WOW!!]

Every analyst I see says this is a bad pick…

God damn it. This is a “raw” 25 year old….those two don’t go together 

Actually fug it. With us going to 3-4 we need a guy that is good vs the run since Burns is on the other side. He sets the edge in the run game at a high level vs some of these other LB that were picked tonight. He plays hard. Maybe we can teach him a pass rushing move. Maybe the old dog can learn one trick.

Yeah well clearly the NFL scouts don’t view him as a first round grade LB lol. You are kinda proving his point.

I’m scratching my head on this pick as well but it’s obvious the 1st round grade is BS. If he really had one he would have been gone long before now.

sorry you are right.... GMs always get first round talent with first round grades, no teams ever do boneheaded things and miss on players

 

 

"The most impressive performance from a former Tiger, surprising no one, came from Trenton Simpson. The Charlotte native put up 25 reps at 225 pounds on the bench, measured in at a strong 6-foot-2 235 pounds, but his best moment came in the 40.

 

Simpson wowed the crowd with a 4.43 40-yard dash, with a 1.55 10-yard split. His time trailed only Auburn’ Owen Pappoe’s 4.39.

The stellar showing at the combine earned Trenton Simpson a 6.24 prospect grade per NFL.com (8.0 represents a “perfect prospect”). The 6.24 grade places Simpson as the second-best linebacker prospect in this class, behind just Arkansas’ Drew Sanders"

I am not a Clemson homer, but the numbers do not lie. This young man is going to shine in the NFL and being around the $100 million dollar man in Roquan Smith will help him take it to the next level.

This team needed strong LB play and we just drafted a guy who played 3 different positions in 6 years who was likely headed to being undrafted
