Panthers Prospect Visits/Meetings (Final Update-4/22)

What you guys think about Desmond Watson.  464 lb DL who put up 36 reps of 225

Put him in a program like we did with Kris Jenkins and keep his weight below 400, then yes. But 460+? Eek. Zero stamina and a heart attack risk on the field.

I don't think Watson is expected to be an UDFA prospect. There's absolutely nothing about him as a prospect and the only chatter is about the novelty.

There are references to him having a lit of attention from nutritionists to control his weight and he still put on weight constantly. Also quotes about him being winded doing any drill.

so no contact with Tet McMillan?  Maybe I missed it.  Or maybe he's not in our plans

Have we shown any interest in any WR?  Sure looks like they are going with XL, Coker, AT, and Moore.

Is the Tet visit just smoke?  Maybe they'd consider him in a trade back scenario?  I can't see them picking Tet at 8 with so much of the focus on defense.

I think it's just doing due diligence.  Maybe they decide to take him at 8?  Maybe they trade back to 15 and pick him?  Maybe it's just a smoke screen so people think we're interested and either feel the need trade up for him or it lets one of our defensive player we desire slide??  I love the intrigue of the draft!

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
