DT Andre Neblett Ready to Buoy the Win Column

A starter at nose tackle in all 13 games, Neblett had 43 tackles and 9.5 TFL

“In college we ran the same defense that we are using right now in Carolina,” he said. “You need to pick up some of those things from college and use them in the nose tackle position here. It was definitely a plus for me going to work for the Carolina Panthers.”

I would love to see this kid make it, but I'm not counting on it. You never know though...he wouldn't be the first no name DT to make it here. Guys like Jordan Carstens and Tony Brown come to mind. Brown would still be here if the Panthers wouldn't have been loaded at DT back then.

I live in the middle of the MAC conference and went to Ball State who has had to face Temple a couple times. But throughout the year Temple had a really good d-line and always got a good pass rush against us just using their front four. Glad hes training camp fodder for the Panthers. Maybe he will end up on our PS but then again even if he plays well he may not i.e.Teddy Lehman last year.

"I know there isn't room for mistakes. I can just tell by the way john fox coaches,"

That sure does fly in the face of fans who don't think fox holds his players accountable.

Uh, he's a rookie. The knock on Fox is that he's been too loyal with veterans.

Obviously he's not going to go up to an undrafted rookie and be like, "HERE, HAVE THIS ROSTER SPOT."

If he doesn't make the active roster he at least will make the practice squad and give us a year to develop him and get him ready to play. We are very good at picking up players with potential at the bottom of the draft and with UDFAs.

true that, double true.

i'm always pleasantly surprised with the role players we pick up after the draft is over.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
