With the strong possibility of us keeping 2 FBs on the roster, IF it came down to the FO having to choose between Goodson and Sutton who do you think they would choose?

IMO, even though there's room to keep both, I think they would choose Goodson if they chose to keep 3 RBs because we would already have a backup FB who can also carry the ball and we have multiple return guys. All were roles Sutton played in last season. He could also take back the starting kickoff return role he had at the beginning of the season. Also if he improves on his fumbling problems from last preseason, I think he could be a much better RB than Sutton. Plus I think taking a year to learn could do him much good. Also remember that Goodson is considered to be good at receiving as well. Besides I dont think the FO would cut a draft pick from last year because that will mean they just wasted a pick when they could've drafted someone else to stay on the roster.

Goodson, I think, has a ton of potential. That being said, I think Fox is clearly going with the guys who show the work ethic and play soundly. True, maybe Goodson didn't get his chance last year, but Sutton looked really good in his fairly-limited playing time.

I have to assume we'd go with Sutton over Goodson, since the coaching staff went with him last year.

True, but I think the reason Sutton was chosen over Goodson was because he wasn't quite ready yet. This year could be the year he shows who he truely is after taking a year to learn. And I think he will impress.

Could very well be, and I hope so. I had high hopes for Goodson as a slot receiver or returner.

But that thinking of "this could be his year" has been known to burn us before. ;)

Yeah but he was still just a rookie. I think the FO would be more willing to keep their 4th round pick of 2009 who has more potential. It's low risk, high reward and dumping him would just be an embarrassment.

Goodson fumbling problem isnt blown out of proportion, its a huge problem with a run first type of team. But I do feel he should/has to be better this year with that problem. Theres no way we cut a 4th round draft pick from last year with that much talent. Goodson will eventually be good.

      Would be cool if Melo and Kon tied for the season league lead in 3’s.  Either that or Kon straight-up.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I love the bottom feeding approach.  Not to say I was the only one, but I was screaming to draft Coker and then screaming to get him in here as an UDFA.  There were criticisms about him, etc.  As a Gamecock baby (Dad was a Tight End for them when I was born) I was against Legette.  I wanted the kid from Georgia.   All that to say this:  I am afraid of drafting a WR (I spent some time today researching) a few of the top names: 1. Jordan Tyson.  MCL, ACL, NHL---he has injured everything he could that ends in "L" and some things not related to his body.  He will drop, and everyone will start getting excited around 15.   NO! take him off the board. 2. KC Concepcion.  I want to like him, but is he not John Metchie III II?  I can't stand drops. To me, the most important characteristic for a receiver is hands.  I do not buy the "He can be taught."  I disagree to a degree.  Catching a football at a high level when you are being hit by someone behind you as you run full speed across the field is more about concentration and focus than anything else. You gotta trust your eyes, your instincts, and your QB.  Hard to teach someone not to fear something that hits you that you cannot see.  Dropping passes gets into your head--that makes you second guess yourself.  if it doesn't, it should.  Either way, it is a mental issue.   3. Omar Cooper.  I like him enough, but at 19? No.  He is a good YAC guy with solid hands.  However, he had a good WR across from him, the best QB in the country, a pretty easy schedule (He had his best games against FCS schools) and I wonder how much of the route tree he ran.  I am torn, not sold.  Of the three just mentioned, he has the worst skillset but I would like him the best as our Z. Who then, do I want, you ask? If it has to be WR, trade back.  If you can't, draft the slow guy who can't get a good release.  1.  Denzel Boston.   If it has to be a WR at 19, I think I would take Denzel Boston.  His biggest criticism is the release (and 40 speed) but he had great hands and runs good routes. as the Z, which is what we need, he would be perfect because he could motion toward the LOS and even when on the LOS, he is off the ball.  Lets do some bottom fishing in Coker Lake: Round 2: Ted Hurst.  He is a model Z WR for this offense.  Drops too many balls to my liking, but as a second rounder, I can tolerate that a bit more than a first rounder.  Round 5: Kendrick Law (UK):  This is the guy I am most comfortable drafting.  His average route at KY was under 4 yards.  He is great at running after the catch.  Stats? don't look at the game stats--look at the measurables. A 42-inch vertical, a 10-foot-8 broad jump, and a 9.60 Relative Athletic Score place him among the most explosive receivers in this class. That kind of lower-body power, paired with his balance through contact and proven ability to generate yards after the catch, gives him a real foundation to develop beyond what Kentucky asked of him. I think they were considering drafting a WR in the first round.  I get it, but as with the tackles in round 1, "Buyer Beware."  I have not given up on XL but I am very concerned that his mind is not right for the NFL.
