Depends on if they want DE or OLB style guys. Shaq Barret, Isaiah Simmons, Bud Dupree, Haynes, and for DE's nothing really. Yannick?

Isaiah Simmons makes me sad.  The too often reality of a positionless player.  Chinn and Simmons are great talents.  I still think dudes like them are worth a shot.  High risk but you got to think some coach could figure it out.

I mean, wasn't the rumor he was almost benched last year for lack of effort/caring......on a stacked/SB favored team?  I mean, he was setup to excel in SF.  You can't give him attention on that D. 

I don't want him.  He is just a name that would cash a check. 

In the midst of a playoff run. 

Vet minimum only. He certainly is no Dawg.

Clowney finished 3rd in the heisman race 3 weeks before that hit 

True but there was always an oddness to Clowney.  He got that random high school hype you rarely see in football.   I mean, he was basically deemed great before ever being it.  Not saying he wasn't good in college.  He was.  Not sure he was ever a great football player.  He just hit the talent lotto early and big.

Devil's advocate--imagine if you were his agent.

He is 24, has been injured.  Has all the tools.  Needs a prove it deal. 

Great opportunity in Carolina and I doubt you can fill all your holes.

His goal, on a small one-year contract is to get more sacks that Burns in NY, more pressures, and more tackles.

I understand your viewpoint.  I think he was great in his sophomore season especially.   Prob should have been drafted by a team that ran a 4-3, rather than playing OLB, and microfracture surgery as a rookie probably didnt help his future prospects either.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
