Bro he might not even make it to 8 once the evaluation and combine happen for this kid.  A supposed freak athlete that is an animal in both the pass rush and stopping the run as well as a 4.0 gpa and team leader.   Watch that highlight tape, he is assassinating both guards and tackles. 

I also noticed how bad the officiating is in college sometimes. Dude was getting absolutely flat out tackled on some of those rushes with no flags. I get it, I would try to hold so my QB didn't get his brain scrambled too, but his motor needed to be rewarded some by the zebras. Just seeing his motor and add on the other superlatives, plus he's a native son, no brainer if he's there. These are the kinds of players that change and add to a good culture.

That's something that happened to Pearce a lot this season too.

I worry that we’re going to pray he’ll be “the next Micah Parsons,” and he’ll be over drafted because that’s not going to happen again. Walker seems more like a good pass rusher for a linebacker than a dominant edge. 
 

Which, of course, isn’t usually worth a top-10 pick. 

Fortunately, that works with Evero's scheme. He likes to blitz an LB while using his best pass rusher to draw double teams. If Morgan can restock the secondary with the talent needed, Walker could be a great fit. I can see him taking over Shaq's role (though without the current leadership Shaq brings, of course).

I think he could grow into that leadership role when Shaq leaves.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
