Its no secret that I am a huge Gamecocks fan. I really think Norwood will develope in to a great player for the Panthers. Not really sure on where they will play him or how they will use him.

Maybe get him to gain weight and be a pass rushing DE or use him at LB somewhere. All I know is from what I watched for all four years at SC is that he is always around the ball and plays with great intensity.

Any thoughts on where the Panthers might use him?

They will use him as a 3rd down pass rusher. He doesn't have the coverage skills for a strong side LB, also there is already a competition between Connor and Anderson for that position. We don't run a 3-4 so he can't be like Demarcus Ware or Terell Suggs and put his hand on the ground every few plays. He selected #92 (Lineman or Passrushing LB number). I am pretty sure you will see his hand on the ground more than him standing up. I look forward to some production from him this season.

although his coverage skills are not his strength right now let's also remember that thomas davis wasn't good in coverage when he first came here. i see playing SLB on some plays and rushing the passer on third and long

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      ehhhhhh I get it, as a pass catcher he's an upgrade over what we have right now, but I'm also much higher on our TE room's potential than many on here.  Plus, our big WRs in T-Mac, Brazzelle, and Coker already take on some of the roles that TE's play on most teams with a smaller WR room anyways. Bringing in an oft injured 30 year old instead of giving snaps to the young guys to see if they can turn into a long term TE solution just doesn't make sense to me.  If we were in an actual SB window, totally different story, but we're still a few years away from that right now and Njoku wouldn't be around then anyways, so we need to roll with the youngsters and see what they are. Given the size we have at WR, I like rolling with young/cheap TE by committee anyways, use that cap space elsewhere.

      Round 2: The Carolina Panthers select DT Lee Hunter (Texas Tech)

      He’s not an explosive athlete. He carries his weight above the waist instead of his legs and ass. Maybe an NFL training program can focus on his lower body
