Tampa picking Gerald McCoy was obvious, they finally get a pick they can't screw up.

Atlanta getting Weathspoon made me mad, I was hoping they would choose a DE and Sean would drop to the Saints.

New Orleans getting Patrick Robinson was a surprise to many fans,but after thinking about it..made perfect sense. When Greer and Porter went down with injury we were down to Randall Gay and Malcolm Jenkins. Jenkins is probably moving to FS with the addition Robinson

You would probably be the ONLY person to think that. Dude is a serious player.

The guy was a great college player yeah, but he's supposedly the best pass rushing DT in the draft, but Ndamakong Suh had almost as many sacks in 1 year as McCoy had in his career. McCoy is going to have some serious problems transitioning to the NFL because his technique isn't there right now. It's all lower body for him. His upper body isn't where it needs to be to be a dominant 3 technique tackle in the NFL as evidence by the fact he didn't even crack the top 12 in bench press reps at the combine.

I just think there's a pretty high bust potential for where he was drafted.

I was expecting the Taints to pick Sergio Kindle. I thought their need at LB was greater than DB.

I also agree with the hesitation about McCoy. There were LBs who lifted more than he did. If he has strength problems, he's going to be ineffective in the NFL. Good luck going up against most starting OT if you can't push a mountain. They'll just run to your side every down and over your flattened little body.

I think the CBs going down last year had something to do with it. CBs are invaluable. Dont think they want to have to pull Predator out of the stands again.

      New Huddle FAQ

      By Zod · Posted

      Hello there.  We are rolling out a complete overhaul of the Huddle. Why: Frankly this site is so old the database and antiquated software has gotten unmanageable. There is not much we can do to fix anything anymore. The new site is wired for the future including getting back in the app stores.    When:  Hopefully by early July so that we can test and recover things. After the migrations we will still have access to the old site behind the scenes to bring over anything we missed.    Wait, will I lose anything?  We are only bringing over topics and posts from the past calendar year. The tinderbox is being set on fire and rolled off a cliff. All it ever did was made this place feel horrible all while changing approximately 0 minds in 20 years.  The new site will only have 4 forums to keep this joint Carolina team sports focused. Panthers, Hornets, Charlotte FC, Hurricanes.    Improved Moderation  This is a clean slate for us, as such if you are a problematic member (you know who you are) that enjoys getting banned and coming back, we aim to make it much more difficult for you. However, upon the move your slate is clean. Take advantage of it.  We would love to get this place back to what it used to be. Nice folks with friendly banter centered around Carolina sports. We will be using the BAN HAMMER liberally to rid this place of people who aren't interested in that or try to drag the new site back into the gutter.   New Features With new tech comes new features we will be rolling out over the rest of the year.    What about the damn ads?  Fewer and less problematic ads. Again, new tech allows for this. Without ads this place gets shut down.    What if I can't login?  If you can't login due to not being able to reset your password from the login screen, email [email protected] with your username and we will get you squared away.    Let me know if you have any specific questions.
