Part 2 is made after some further evaluations of players I really like for us (in no particular order):

 

1. Azareye'h Thomas (CB Florida St) - excellent size, length and tenacity. Excels in covering intermediate and crossing routes. He’d be excellent on the outside or at nickel. 
 

2. Shemar Stuart (Edge Tx A&M): Monster for an edge. Quick off the line, used in stunts to create mix matches, natural strength, has the bend to get underneath the outside shoulder of OTs, and if you block him with a TE the TE dies. If you block him with a RB, the RB is  launched into the QB standing 5 yards away. Did I mention he’s 6’6” 290 lbs? Monster, and who better to learn from than Clowney who had similar traits out of college? I would be fine with him at No. 8.

 


3. Marcus Mbow (RT):

Others here have mentioned him, and I agree with the praise. Recent rumors that Moton may not be extended (boooo). However this guys is a monster athletically and would be a perfect replacement.


4. Isaiah Bond (WR Texas): Our offense had one of the lowest YAC’s in the league last year, because Legette can’t stay running after the catch. This will be Theilan’s last year, and we need Bond’s speed and route running ability. He can be moved in the formation to create mismatches too. Perfect Z receiver whose speed can take it to the house. Also, makes tough catches. This is the type of receiver we need to add to our core. 
 


5. Tyler Shough (QB): Basically a tall Bryce Young in the pocket with stronger arm. Third string QB with two years to learn under Dalton and Young. Will be a luxury back-up. Amazing ball placement:

6. Shout out to the size of Jalen Walker’s hands. Look at his tape and focus on his paws. Once you notice them it’s all you will see again when watching his film. 

 

7. Good place kickers in this draft [ducks]

This is a great list, Shemar Stewart has quickly become a draft crush of mine. When looking at his production it’s terrible, only 2 sacks in his best season. But, when I watched his tape you see a powerful monster of a man who is one of the few DE that can drive an OT straight back to create pressure. He gets consistent pressure, he just doesnt finish plays. 32 pressures and only 2 sacks is an anomaly, he has the ideal physical profile that is simply rare in today’s game. And his frame and size allows him to be a dominant run stuffer, I doubt he ever becomes an elite pass rusher while he’s a freak athlete he doesnt have elite bend which in todays game is shared trait among all elite pass rushers. But, he will be one of the best run defenders in the league, and an 8-12 sack guy in his prime. Considering our needs, if we traded back a bit to the 15-20 range and drafted Shemar there I would be a super happy camper.

I know we all love those big sack numbers, but I'm more interested in a guy that is constantly causing issues in the backfield. It doesn't really matter if he sacks the QB or drives him into someone else to do it. A busted play is a busted play and we need a hell of a lot more of those.

Good shout outs.  I'm definitely preferential to Shemar.  Don't know how high I'd be willing to take him, but I have a hard time not seeing him make an impact in the league.  As mentioned, he consistently is collapsing OLs.  6'6 280ish.  He's athletic to stand and set an edge, can get his hands in the dirt in sub packages.  Good prospect with huge upside.  He's built like a machine.

exactly.  I like Stewart--you can slide him inside to the 5 tech and bring in a smaller 9 tech on passing downs.

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By t96 · Posted

      My general take on the state of the team not going too in depth is this: Either Morgan or Canales (hard to say whether it’s the players or the system/coaching, and that goes for any team) has been responsible for considerable strides forward on D and a bit more productive offense, but it’s been a small sample size and we collapsed at the end of the year. I lean towards it being more Canales growing as a coach and building a culture of buy-in and getting the most out of players in the locker room. My reasoning for leaning there is that Morgan was part of the Fitterer stink and it’ll take him a while of sustained success in roster management to overcome that in my mind. Next year is a big year to see if that was a fluke or not. These big signings this offseason are exciting and sometimes teams can have amazing FA classes but more often than not those who spend big and “win the offseason” don’t show the results in the regular season.    As far as QB goes, in a vacuum I’m completely fine with the Pickett signing, he’s ok value for a backup and a huge improvement over Dalton. If Bryce went down there isn’t a huge drop off there and if the rest of the team builds on last year they could win games with him under center. I’m not sure the ‘85 Bears could win games with current Dalton under center. But the O is just so damn limited with Bryce and Pickett does not push him at all, he’s purely a backup. So I agree we I’d love to see a QB with some upside drafted, a guy who could actually push Bryce if/when he struggles or doesn’t improve any further. He’s improved steadily the last 2 years but it has been from arguably worst in league history to still below average. I’m not convinced he can get any better than purely average at absolute best. I hope he can man but I just don’t see it happening. And the longer we keep penciling him as starter the less confidence I have in this staff. Even with our unexpected relative success as a team last year sometimes you do have to take another step back to take a step forward, and that could mean moving on from Bryce, and temporarily going with a slightly worse player like Pickett while aggressively trying to upgrade the position and taking dart throws in the draft/free agency on upside players. I know, there wasn’t much available this offseason outside of Willis, and this draft class seems to be poor at QB. But I’d have preferred we try something and if it didn’t work and we took a step back then just keep trying until something hits. Rolling with Bryce is just delaying the inevitable and living in purgatory.    just my 2 cents, hope I’m proved wrong

      BREAKING: Panthers have interest in Deebo Samuel

      By h0llywood · Posted

      His market value is 15.7 million. Not worth it to bring him at his age, at that price. If we were to bring in a veteran, DeAndre Hopkins is available for 2 million market value. I've said this in other threads, get Keenan Allen to play the slot. He's as good as a pass catching tight end and is market is under 7 million.
