Pretty cruel joke...

So are you saying Smith keeps the number 1 receiver position?

Smith, Jarrett (yes, Jarrett), and Lafell might be a decent combo as the season moves on. One thing is for sure, Jarrett has some nice frickin hands. The rest of the guys seem like college scout team fodder.

I honestly think Jarrett will have a better season than Lafell. I'm convinced Lafell has bricks for hands.

Jarrett still looks bad to me. I know he had a catch (woo hoo) but he still seems to be thinking about his routes and lumbering through them too. The pass hit him in the numbers as he wasn't particulaly open. It was just a very good pass. I'll get off the Jarrett sucks bandwagon when he has several catches where he actually beats the coverage.

Towards the end of the game with Cantwell there was a play where Jarrett failed to get open in his route and then just stood there and watched while his QB was in trouble.

Heaven forbid he kept running trying to make something happen.

I'm about convinced the guy's a few crayons short of a full box, if you catch my drift.

Either that or he doesn't give a crap. I can forgive a guy that tries hard and progresses slowly because he's not all that bright than a guy who could really care less. I have to believe at this point he's actually trying and the game, at THIS level, is over his head.

That's what kills me about Jarrett. He just seems so unmotivated. I made it a point to watch him off the line more than once, and he just seemed dreadfully slow -- like he was just going through the motions since the play didn't involve him.

eh, with as many wide receivers as we've got competing for starting jobs... I'm not completely disgusted with the way they all played last night. None of them played every snap, so it's not like they're all gonna have five to six catches. And our offensive line wasn't giving our QB's any time to throw down field, just a bunch of check downs. If Kenny Moore and Matt Moore can work on their timing, they'll be great together. I still think we'll go into the season with 5 or 6 receivers on our roster:

Steve Smith

Kenny Moore

Dwayne Jarrett

Brandon Lafell

Wallace Wright

Armanti Edwards

Although, I'd like Charly Martin to come back from his finger injury and make our roster. At that point, I'd send Armanti Edwards to the practice squad. Unless he improves dramatically in these next few games.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I understand the concerns--he is not P. Sewell or Joe Thomas.  He has technique issues and was not great in the run game and was good in pass protection when UGA did not pass much.  Then there is the immediate need vs long term need perspective.   I did not see Freeland being there-frankly. Here is why:   He has nearly 35" arms and his hands are large (10.5").  He ran a 4.93 40 at the combine.  He is very agile.  His vertical was 33.5".   Physically, he is a freak. He is 21 and he seems very intelligent (coachable). You have to remember, some of these rookies are 24, 25 years old. Freeling is A team player.  His shortcomings are fixable.  Short arms (as with the kids from Utah and Miami) are not fixable.  The Run on OTs began at #9: Fano (picked 10 picks earlier) has 32" arms and his hands are 9".  He did not play in the SEC like Freeling.  Many think the short arms project him to guard. Mauigoa (picked 10th) has 33" arms.  He is a solid player, but his arms make him borderline as a T (they seek 34" and up as ideal)  Kayden Proctor (picked 12th overall) struggled in pass protection and projects by many to RT or G.  Weight management is a concern. So it is possible that Freeling will be the first LT taken who actually plays LT.  (he also has the ability and experience to play RT)  His questions are fixable and not limited to physical limitations.  Here is the question:  If you know that you need a Tackle, and you could choose between all four of these players, who would you pick? I am not sure that Freeling would not be the player I selected if given the opportunity to take any of them.

      The more I think about this pick the more I like it. The Icky injury might end up being a blessing in disguise for everyone except Icky unfortunately. If Freeling pans out at LT the Panthers have a good player on a rookie contract at a premium position at a time when they’re going to need to potentially pay Bryce for his next contract. Icky was likely going to command a big salary jump for his next contract and now, there’s a strong justification he’s not going to be worth a big money extension until he rehabs and proves he can still play at a high level. Since he’s finishing his rookie deal this season, it will be interesting to see if the Panthers bring him back for the 2027 season. Obviously it’s too early to say and they will probably wait to see how the season pans out with Moton still elite but aging and clearly battling persistent injuries, and they need to see if Freeling can develop into a starter during his rookie year. But ultimately this might have opened up a huge chunk of salary cap for the next 4-5 years.

      You read my mind Nastradamus! If Rodriguez is still there I feel like it will be hard to pass on him. And one of these TE we keep drafting have to hit eventually and Delp is just as good as the others.
