Smitty's draft hot takes!


Recommended Posts

Between D.E Carter, Pierce Jr. and Walker only one will be worth a damn. 

Will Johnson will be mid.

Both top 2 qb's will bust, Ward first.

Graham is solid like Luke like sure fire.

Burden will have a much better career than Tet.

I say take Mike Green! Run over a fellow first round tackle n just say, that's enough. Let's go home.

How bout your hot takes?

I think Mike Green, TJ Sanders and Jayden Higgens will be high on our boards i do think Morgan likes Senior Bowl standouts 

Think that guy was so pizzed off because they hated his measurables and were dropping him down that that he dominated for two days and said F off. You don't deserve my small hands!

that senior bowl practice rep is getting way too much hype

for starters, as I mentioned in the shrine thread, it was that pointed out after the first practice that he had been working at trying to show that move off all day and couldn’t quite pull it off. The reprimand was that he needed to focus on what he did well. Then he went out the following day, pulled it off, and immediately shut himself down for the game. It’s kind of odd.

secondly, those one on ones are an OL drill. The defense is there, but they have a fraction of the responsibilities they have in a game. They aren’t playing gap control, they aren’t making sure the QB doesn’t bounce, they aren’t playing the screen. It’s every bit of juice and energy they have just to do the comparatively simple thing of getting around one guy with a pretty generous book on how they can go about it. It’s up to the OL to acclimate and the ones that do really stand out because they are entirely disadvantaged.

The Senior Bowl rep is what got casual fans hype.

Folks that are interested in the scouting process have been following him since the mid-season at the latest. He was filling up stat sheets the way Laiatu Latu did last season, and consistently dominated against the smaller schools.

    • Not all talent can be measured with a ruler and stopwatch. His hands, body control, and skills were ELITE. 
    • He did have talent, but if you look at his combine/workout numbers...they are not eye popping like many of the combine freaks are. All the best have talent, smarts, and work ethic. What he was able to do in his 40s, he holds all the records after 40. He had two 1k seasons at 39 and 40, no other WR has 1k after 36. He came back from a ACL tear within 9 months after he turned 35 years old. You know this is the era where ACl was a career derail-er and it took most mortal men took a full 12 months and they were never the same. Only two other players have made catches at that age (40) and neither one was a wide receiver. LOL at Tom being one of them....   I also read or heard, he would have still played if not for ST. He was going to play for the broncos in 2006, I think he would have been 44???, he earned a spot as the #4-6 but the numbers game of having WRs play ST ended his career. He could still get open and play, just no sense in having the GOAT run head first into a wedge on KO duties.....
    • With a strong finish to the season, he has a real chance at being just the 3rd Panther to make the Pro Bowl in their rookie season (and just the 2nd as a non special teamer) after Cam and Smitty. He won't make it on the original selections, not over JSN, Puka, Pickens, St Brown, London, Jefferson who should all finish with at least the same amount of yards and TDs, if not more.  No rookie is getting selected over all those big name vets with similar statistical seasons. But a couple injuries and/or reaching the NFC Championship and pulling out of the Pro Bowl, he very well could be one of the first couple alternates and end up making it.  Last year the NFC ended up with 7 WRs making it in the end after players who pulled out got replaced.
