Panthers Select Trevin Wallace LB - Pick 72, Round 3

[amcoolio]

I've seen some bad drafts in my close to 30 years as fan, but this is a doozy. 

All three of these picks are straight out of the Fitterer playbook. 

We need players who can get on the field and play. Not raw athletes with physical tools that haven't put it together yet.

Bleacher report had him as a 5th rounder.  If this organization had a track record of hitting on reaches, i could get on board, but it has been a poo show the past few years

Who the fug is this guy and why did we take him over Wilson or Tampa? Or Adisa? Van Pran? 

[Lame Duck]

Fyi, Wallace RAS is off the charts.  He’s a physical monster who does not understand the LB role.

I dunno, threw a bone to the DC.  Sanders would have been a better pick.  TE room is god awful

I'm starting to think Morgan was a big part of these past few drafts with some of these bizzare picks.

He was the assistant GM and the GM’s best friend…

Average Backup Or Special-Teamer
 

Strengths

Explosive athlete.

Rangy with good chase-down gallop to the sideline.

Burst and change of direction make him a toolsy rusher.

Hands are very sticky when he gets his chances to take the ball away.

Lateral agility to expand his short-area tackle success.

Weaknesses

Play recognition and football instincts are lacking.

Frequently fooled by misdirection in both run and pass games.

Lacks patience and leverage in his scrape, allowing cutback lanes to runners.

Pulled out of position by bait routes in his spot drops.

Pass rush could use more elusiveness when diving into A- or B-gaps.

interesting, literally every weakness is coaching related. I guess they feel he didn't have good development at uk and they can provide it. He is Shaq's replacement, so he won't play much this year anyway.

DJ Johnson? 

I feel certain Morgan had a lot of input there 

it’s largely the same folks.  I think Fitterer would refer to his right man and former LB on that pick as well as the staff still largely in place 

I meant ILB, the position he played, not Edge, but I understand where you're coming from. I just want to believe they got their poo together this time and that Fitt was the main problem. I like what Morgan has done so far

Bro is poo in coverage, allowing nearly 100% completion but monster in run game.  If he can fix his coverage skill, he’s a top 10 pick.

When has that ever worked out for us?

DJ Johnson was an Evero pick. He was fired up when we called him.

Oh great another Brandon Smith. Feels like nothing has changed in the war room since Tepper took over

We were 2-15. I disagree. You build and anticipate upside.
