Panthers Select Trevin Wallace LB - Pick 72, Round 3

Davis was literally drafted to be a Spy for Vick twice a year - they developed him from there. 

True. I think people forget that he was almost viewed the way Chinn was around here aside from being an answer to Vick.

Just didn't know where to put him. Too big for a safety and too small for an LB at that time, but we tried him and listed him at both.

For a while we just didn't think he'd stick around. He was fast and he could hit and that was about the extent of it.

It took a few years but we eventually got it figured out. Just need patience.

Local espn and sports talk shows are roasting this pick today. All said Wilson, Butkus award winner should have been the pick. Even Luke endorsed the kid.  
 

This reeks of DJ Johnson last year.  

Are you saying the local sports radio guys wanted the local guy 😀

I think he was flagged as a major injury risk by a lot of teams.

mac and bone were borderline unlistenable today.  I had to cut it off halfway through their draft "evaluation"  There is being a homer and happy about the draft and then there is that.  Whatever over the top balls in mouth analysis you want to call it but it was not rational.

To be honest I think beyond the injuries there is concern he has peaked as a LB. He is great as is but coupled with the ware and tear he already has on his body I can see why a lot of teams didn't want to risk a high pick on him. I do not fault anyone either way.

Full disclosure I probably wouldnt have blown a high pick on wilson, but if last year was his peak he is still going to be a damn good linebacker for pitt.  Dude was a master player caller and simply all over the field.  The not having an acl is curious as hell because he was unstoppable last season

The same local sport radio guys who want to get a spark out of their increasingly dwindling audience.

And don’t you dare text in and tell them any Bryce criticism. 

EDIT: as far as LBs ands Wilson, man I would love to have him but those injuries are part of the deal. They are scary.

I don’t think this guy is near as unfinished. 

edit: a team Captain at Kentucky as a Junior. That’s getting a quality person. Which if he can’t play won’t matter but let’s see. I think he looks pretty good.

I’m at the On3 Elite event this week with the top high school football recruits in the country. 
One guy I had on my podcast is Wallace’s brother. We talk a little about his big bro. I also got to speak with his dad for a while. He’s wearing a Panthers hat, even at a formal dinner. Respect!

Wallace is supposedly a loose cannon and needs to be developed a bit-good special teamer and depth, but the depth issue at ILB is real---we will probably add a LB after cuts this summer.

    • i mean i'd have to go back and watch. I remember it happening twice against the raiders. I didn't see the Bengals game because of Helene, and the Bears game was difficult to watch because the satellite at mudpuppies kept going out.  also mudpuppies has some fantastic wings, and 1/2 price wings is a terrible idea when you don't have running water. 
    • She is the worst personality on that entire show tbh.   She talks like she is a big deal. She's just a NFL reporter. How can you talk down on athletes especially one as accomplished as Cam smh.    
    • Dude I’m agreeing with you. I said I’d rather have a young defender with that pick than a luxury rb, even tho I think brooks is gonna be pretty good.  his stats dont jump off from at #3 Alabama, and it was early in the year before Saban sacrificed the right number of coeds, but he put the game away. Alabama just ate Texas’ oline up. Also he was blocking and chipping a lot and just like you, me, and most people in fourth grade and above he’s already better than miles sanders.  also shoutout to future panther ja’tavion sanders just not holding on to the ball at all  He played great against Oklahoma too. Now sure yeah Oklahoma I get it but that’s a will venables defense. Also oh my god Texas’ oline fuging blew in this game.
