When Noorwood has like 10 sacks next season I'm going to bump this thread.

10 sacks? 20 tackles would be nice, will be tough for this kid to find the field in 2010. Not saying it is a bad pick, but he will have to wait to fit his nitch in this defense.

i'm sure he was exaggerating for effect. thomas davis is the resident pass rusher. that won't change, but this gives us incredible depth in case someone goes down. and, davis and norwood on the field at the same time on 3rd and long will be drew brees' worst nightmare for years to come. he will wake up nights in cold sweats.

Mike Mayock's thoughts:

Norwood is a difficult player to evaluate, because he has an innate ability to rush the QB, but is only 6-foot, 250. He played out of position at inside linebacker last season. For Carolina, they'll probably try him at Sam linebacker, and potentially use him as a third-down pass rushing specialist. He's explosive, and talented, and a good pick at this point in the fourth round.

Sounds like Mark Fields.

We could have gotten either Atkins or Edds with our original 4th. Thanks dumb asses. Instead of two starters at positions of need we get a tweener that will probably never be more then a rotational pass rusher.

This teams draft strategy makes me want to stab a fork in my eye.

Have seen every game norwood's played in college, and i am fully confident he's gonna compete for the SLB spot in training camp. Might not win the job over Conner, but he'll definitely get some playing time next year.

As for putting him at DE, dont really think that is an option..he wouldnt be able to start there and would only be able to be a situational third down/passing down type of player..Norwood was a great pass rusher in college when he was on the line, but wasnt really that great against the run..which is the main reason he made the move to LB

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
