Jason Pierre Paul


TylerDurden

Recommended Posts

Anybody else see this guy play? He's been shooting up draft boards lately, and I thought I saw a segment on his performance at the combine but I cna't find any stats on it.

I heard he ran a 4.5 40 yard dash and he's a 6'5" 270 DE and considered an "athletic freak."

I would love to pick up this guy in the 3rd/4th or so to add some athleticism back to our pass rush after Pep's departure. I don't remember a lot about him at USF, but do remember seeing him in some games.

USF had two good DE Pierre-Paul and Selvie. For some reason Selvie really dropped off after his 2008 season. With that said Pierre-Paul still got some help with Selvie on the other side. I would rather take a chance on Selvie as he will be a mid round draft pick.

Yeah I think there's a high risk-high reward deal with him...

Idk, if we take him in the 2nd then we won't be able to get The Golden Calf of Bristol :D

Ugh, no The Golden Calf of Bristol and Paul-Pierre will go in the first. He is this years Gohlston.

Yeah I'd like to take a chance on him if he was available after the 1st, but I think there's a high bustability factor if he's taken earlier...

His athleticism and potential are hard to pass up, but I really think we're solid at DE, he would just help upgrade it with his abilities. WR is my #1 priority though.

    • Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers. 
    • Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production. 
    • I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
