Based on his comments and the list of visits, I am thinking they feel that they are going to find a WR later in the draft--and that is probably smart. 

Wildcard--he has not ruled out TE, but I think he is going with Tremble and Sanders and some UDFA or something like that.

Exactly. This vibes with what Joe Person has said, we're not interested in a WR or TE @8 

Assuming we stay at 8 (which I think we will) it's guaranteed we take a defense player probably Mykel Williams

That must have been 1 hellova off season!

I would be very surprised if we didn't pick up a few to test out from day 3 and waivers.

If we can get more draft capital, we should be dipping at WR in the 1st, 2nd or 3rd.

I am thinking he would be the Panther's version of Micah Parsons and we would still draft an edge.

I think he would be the panthers version of Luvu.  Just a bit more athletic and explosive.  True lb on run downs, Edge on passing downs.

I think speed is way less of a problem than skill. AT and Coker aren't burners but are very skilled. XL is very fast but not very skilled. 

I am okay getting a skilled AND fast guy but pure speed isn't useful at all.

Speed I guess, I think most people are talking about quickness.  We have none.  We have straight line speed at best.  Acceleration, deceleration, change of direction, that's what we don't have, like at all.  Look what Diontae Johnson did on the field while he was here.  If he had kept his head down and played all season he would have had a great season. That's because he had those things and that's what our system needs.  Not big guys to throw 59 yard bombs to in double coverage which seems to be what we covet for whatever reason.

I'm not as down on XL as many of you are.  He got open alot and showed toughness.  He deserves another season before writing him off

Dan said there is a lot of talent that they like at pick 8. 

He's not suppose to suggest who we like. Only an idiot would want him to do that, yet we also have huddlers saying that him not saying anything suggests the doesn't like any guys there. 

fug the huddle is dense.

I've watched a lot of Morgan and Canales interviews that have been posted on the Panthers website/youtube, podcasts, Todd McShay, Trevor Sikkema, etc. What I'm gathering is that they really like Walker at 8, if Walker is gone and they can't trade back then Mykel Williams is the 2nd option. Front office is doing a deep dive at the safety and TE positions which are needs. Dan is not afraid to be active on draft to move up or down. OT will be a sneaky need and preparation for possible loss of Moton (they didn't extend or restructure his contract) in the future.

Of course he does. I am very hopeful. I am hoping he doesn't lead the league in drops and talking funny.

      ESPN showing some love on out draft class!!

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      He makes a good point about Wallace.  In fairness to Wallace it is hard to play your position as freely as you need to when your defensive line is getting pushed around like ragdolls.  One of the greatest attributes a defensive line has is sucking up blocks, freeing up your linebackers.  Our defensive line couldn't suck up a lollipop more or less blocks.  I think Evans, Sanders and Tremble are going to be a really nice TE group.  I can see all three getting time on the field.  If Sanders can improve as a blocker teams won't be so inclined to believe it is a pass play whenever Sanders is on the field.  Ryan Fitzgerald, I think was an awesome pick-up. Hopefully he can fill our kicker void. Luke Kandra many turn out to be our next Norwell.  Everything I have heard about him says he's a beast.  He needs some refinement, but the good news is he's got Hunt and Lewis (arguably the best guard tandem in the league) to learn from.

      Morgan & Canales

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Great teams build through the draft and have several young players that start that are on rookie contracts. It's important to hit on players in rounds 4 thru 7.  These should be future starters and solid depth.  When you hit on most of your picks you free up a lot of cap space for those one- or two-year players to fill spots you are thin at. No GM is going to perfect on all their picks.  You're going to whiff every once in a while.  That was Hurney problem.  He'd nail the first pick but after that it was reach after reach and we couldn't get any depth on this team. I'm excited about Morgan as our GM and hopefully he'll be around a long time.  It will be even better if Canales can continue to grow as a head coach, both in the development of young players and play calling. I remember last season after Young came back in the lineup and started to perform well.  We saw different plays I had only seen other teams use.   If Canales's play design and play calling continue to grow. Morgan and Canales will be linked together for a long time.  It would be nice to see a Coach and GM together for a decade or two. Go Panthers
