Notable Comments:

  • His big faves in this class:
    • Ja'Lynn Polk - Washington - HUGE fan. 
    • Malachi Corley.  His "Steal of the draft" 
  • Worthy & Mitchell - Both Texas boys are body catchers...  Note that Worthy reminds him of a taller Tank Dell.  But definitely lukewarm on them
  • Spoke highly of McConkey at UGA
  • Troy Franklin - He got an "okay/meh" hand waive but gave him a Jordan Addison comp
  • Jha'Quan Jackson out of Tulane - He's a fan.  Needs to look at him more, but likes what he's seen.

Love Smitty but don't recall a time he has been correct regarding any receiver.

He legit had Cooper Kupp as his WR1 that year while everyone laughed and call him crazy.

Also he was really high on Tank Dell Last year while people tried to say he was just feeling for the fellow little WR.

I disagree with him on Worthy being a body catcher. He shows elite hands catching in his highlights. He pairs that with an ability to make something out of nothing and he’s a great returner. I like him with our 2nd rounder. He does comp him as a taller Tank Dell so I’d take that all day. (The very first clip in the video below shows one of the toughest hands catches WR face in football)
 

 

Then he mentions Legette as a “better” DK Metcalf. It’s not going to happen, but if Legette slips to the 3rd like some mocks are pushing, adding both Xaviers to our WR core would completely flip that room for us.

I like Worthy more than Mitchell although most big boards have Mitchell slightly higher.  Legette is a one year wonder and as such is a boom or bust prospect.

      No more mistakes on draft day...

      By Jmac · Posted

      Panthers cannot afford to overlook the defense anymore in the draft. I wouldn't  invest a number number one pick on a QB again in this draft...always a roll of the dice. To many areas of dire need. Choose Dl, Edge or LB for our first round pick. Add another Oline player in the middle rounds. No more PROJECTS or INJURED players please. The QB situation is dicey. Will he ever emerge due to his limited physical abilities or not? They obviously need a plan B on the roster. I hate to say it, but maybe a veteran like Winston for Canales to work with would be an option short term. This season is going down the drain fast.

      I did not watch the game just the breakdowns. I haven’t watched any defensive stuff of us.    Obviously did not know that. But no designated Hail Mary thrower, Bryce remains alone at the ‘top’.

      So...Those 2 Point Conversions

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      If we were a top offense, I’d agree but we aren’t so our chance of getting 3 2 pointers is basically 0. There were two calls. Go for 2, which I understand but don’t agree based on our futility, and the actual play call, which was awful both times. Play action fake with a leak out and/or rollout to increase the number of opportunities like a QB run in or multiple targets. We, unfortunately, limited ourselves to one chance and after the first run was stuffed you’d think we wouldn’t do the same thing twice but we did and got the same result.
