what does the board think.....tates prob of the board when we pick also benn is prob gone. i think this kid has alot of upside and is under the radar. mel and todd have him in the second round if he comes out and think he fills the need of big number 2 we need.georgia tech does have a nice pedigree of wrs with the last big name being calvin johnson...tomas is in the same mold but might be a few steps slower. he cought fire towards the end of the season and was productive even in a run first option offense....

I posted this about him in the thread I started about the Panther's options at WR next season.

Coming out of Georgia Tech, the guy is big, fast, and has great hands. Physically, I don't think there is a match for him in the upcoming draft class. He reminds me of Andre Johnson. He's a specialist in deep route running. If you are shooting for a big guy rather than a someone quick like Tate that's where I would look in the second-third round.

After playing in GT's run first offense, the guy knows how to block, and is built to do so well. He would be the perfect compliment to our running game, and is easily the best replacement for Moose when it comes to run blocking. He's 6-3 230 lbs and is not easily matched up with by puny cornerbacks or safeties.

Let's see how the combine goes.

^^^^

We'll see. Dude is huge as hell, and nobody will be able to match him on the deep ball

The only thing people is concerned about is his ability to run other routes than the go. His 40 may been lower than people will think. Difference is he gets faster as he goes on cause of his long legs

If he do well at the combine, idk if we'll get him with our pick

of Thomas manhandling and outrunning just about every defense in the ACC while leading the nation in Yards Per Catch this year. Watch the play that starts at 47 seconds in when he owns a couple of Miami defensive backs. Not only is he fast and agile, but he runs like a truck.

that's not a problem. as long as we have a deep threat aside smitty (which we currently lack) we're set... smitty can have a hayday as an underneath threat. i would be in favor of this.

Jarrett is 6'4" and 219lbs.

I lose 2lbs on a good Zod.

Let's see how he comes off a blocker in the combines, his 40 speed, vertical, and cut ability before we crown him.

he has never run a route in his life and gets thrown to maybe twice a game

he plays in the most gimmicky offense in division 1A

he's going to blow up the combine because he's a monster but man alive is he a project.

I wouldn't mind getting this guy. We just need a player that defenses can truly respect besides Smith. It seems like Matt Moore can make Jarrett work. Maybe get this guy and a FA like Breaston and I think we're set. But this does seem like a high risk high reward player. Tate might be a more proven commodity.

      Taylor Moton gets emotional talking about what happens next year

      By Waldo · Posted

      Lol. He may not be the prototype LT but he is solid. Your takes are embarrassing. IDGAF about anything in the NCAA but prospects. Still pining for Datnold is freaking hilarious. Ickey's weakness is passprotect from speed. He is smart and has room to improve a bit in his weakness but he is a beast in the run game. That's worth more than your willing to admit. I would still take him over everything since Gross so just GTFO of here with that weak and sad take.

      Why Your Team Sucks, 2025

      By TD alt · Posted

      First, let me say that some people aren't going to like this. Not because they don't enjoy reading a tongue-in-cheek article based on hints of truth, but because at times, this seems like a more mean-spirited version.  It also has an error regarding Tetairoa McMillan's 40 time at the NFL Combine, and the writer also somehow thinks that throwing in a standalone sentence that references Dave Canales and his past struggle with porn addiction is funny. Deadspin went through it's trials and tribulations, and many key people started and went to Defector. Defector is supposed to be an improvement, but I don't know that it is based upon this...satire? The following are snippets. On the team in general: If it still seems impossible to you that this team won five games, well, you're onto something. That mildly respectable 4-5 finish to the season only looks worse the longer you stare at it: They eked out back-to-back wins against the putrid Saints and Giants by a combined four points, and then needed overtime and a heroic Chuba Hubbard performance to beat the Cardinals. The final win of the season, Week 18's 44-38 overtime victory against a Falcons team that was trying to make the playoffs, can be counted as legitimately impressive for as long as it takes you to remember that the Falcons will always be frauds. On Dave Canales:  "Canales, meanwhile, has an alarming amount of swagger for a guy who was a few fluky late-season wins away from presiding over the worst team in the league. "The sky's the limit for this group," Canales said at the start of training camp. "This is going to be a very competitive team. I don't think people are going to want to play us by the style of football that we play. I'm expecting that." OK pal, take it easy." "The story those quotes come from is a fun read, due to how hard it strains to recast a season that was 90 percent disaster as some kind of meaningful step forward. Benching Young after Week 2, an obvious panic move that was almost certainly undertaken at Tepper's direction, is retrofitted to be "a gutsy move that defines Canales." Who needs winning seasons or division titles when you can put "Benched my QB in Week 2 and then put him back in the lineup because the other guy got injured" under the Gutsy Moves That Define Me section of a résumé. This man will have a job for life. I'm expecting that." On Bryce: "Young is entering his third season as the Panthers' starting quarterback, which is about the time you expect a guy who was drafted No. 1 overall to start demonstrating that he's capable of being the franchise savior he was selected to be. Young has 28 career starts under his belt, and it's pretty hard to find anything from those games indicating that he's going to avoid being a bust. He's thrown for more than 300 yards in a game just once, and tossed more than two TDs in a game twice. He's started 11 games in which his completion percentage was below 60 percent, and he's had 17 starts in which he couldn't crack 200 yards through the air. Beyond all that, he looks like he doesn't belong on the field. His base state is panic, he can't throw the ball downfield or to the sidelines, and he can barely hold his head upright under the weight of his helmet." On David Tepper: "David Tepper hasn't even been here for a decade and he's already threatening to go down as one of the worst owners in league history. A fanbase fully souring on an owner usually takes some time—there's a few seasons constituting a honeymoon period, then a period of excuse-making, and then the feeling starts to shift once the losing seasons and annoying quotes pile up. Tepper is an argument against the idea that familiarity breeds contempt; sometimes all you need is one look at a guy before deciding that you'd like to punch him in the face."   There's some truth here, and I'm sure that to the Negative Nancys the portrayal is spot on, but remember that this is ostensibly coming from a satirical perspective. The "truth" hurts though, and hopefully, like every season, there's still plenty of hope and optimism. At the end of the day, we just don't know how the m infusion of acquisitions and young players is going to work out.
