I didn't know that Anderson performed surgery on Demaryius Thomas' foot.

"Dr. Robert Anderson, an orthopedic surgeon for the Carolina Panthers, removed bone marrow from Thomas' hip and injected it into the area of the fracture, which was repaired with a pin. A few days after that, Thomas flew to Indianapolis for the Combine, hobbling his way around on crutches."

Will history repeat itself? ;)

Like I said in the draft forum, if the picks remain as they currently are, Bryant will be the only receiver taken in the first round.

Even then, some teams will make the safe pick at CB or OL, instead of risk the drama...

Sure, Braynt, Tate, and Thomas could all be gone by the end of the first... But this is a passing leage for most defenses, and there are a lot of teams in the mid to late first that would spring on a CB over a WR... Owens and a handful of role players are still floating around out there, whereas a lot of the DB FA well is now dry...

Even with his issues, someone will take a chance with Bryant if he slips down into the 20s imo.

The only thing that worries me is if guys like Tate, Thomas, and Benn ARE still around in the second, they'll be scooped up by the teams at the top fairly quickly. I don't even know if trading with KC would get us Thomas or Tate.

at this point, I am fairly certain it would... A lot of teams see the depth of the class and the talent that is going to be available early to mid third, and will address other needs first...

just my opinion, and I hope it holds true for the Panthers..

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.

      Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.

      That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.
