Well our top analytics guy either for PFF for a long time so it's white possible there isn't going to be a lot of difference.

We aren't using theirs. We have no need to. We've got our own guys

You know my favorite safety since Minter?

Mike effin Mitchell.  Marlon McCree was also underrated for his short time here….  Also really liked Chris Harris.  And they did similar things, although I think Mitchell was the most complete.  Mitchell set the tone with his physicality and that matters.  We haven’t had anyone capable of that since he left.  Between Moehrig and now Ransom, I am excited to see what our safety corps looks like.

Still feels like we don't have a free saftey on the roster. But Ransom still seems like a solid SS or nickel. 

I think it's a bigger deal that we stop the run. Let the front rush and frustrate the passing game and make it easier for the secondary to control the receivers.

In a few years, you will love this pick---smart as hell and did everything they asked him to do.  His CBs at Ohio State were weaknesses, and he helped keep the defensive backs on the same page. 

That Igbinosun dude in particular was a penalty waiting to happen. I'm not even an Ohio State fan and I would get mad anytime he fuged up lol.

I also got mad several times at Penn State. They had a hell of a defense, I think Drew Allar and their WRs brought down the rest of their team severely. The similarly had 2 good RBs and a good defense like Ohio State did. But did not have OSU's level of WR talent or QB play.

It's pretty clear, with FA and this draft, the agenda is don't let anyone run on us, and leave it to Jaycee to bail us out in the passing game.

Maybe they are sensing the league getting back to running the football. Panthers built the same way in the Cam years

If we can generate a pass rush we won't need all world safeties back there

PFF had Swinson above both Scourton and Princely and he was available at both picks. There were also several running backs they ranked ahead of Etienne that we didn't take.

So I don't think it's that simple.

They might have similar ranking but most likely not the same because of team fit and other factors

      Btw... only Mitch fugging Marner has a better +/- than Key 🔑!!! And, Mitchy needed 5 more games and almost 100 more shifts to get there.

      I was honestly flabbergasted to see Rod send out Stanky and the boys to to matchup against their top line to start the game. The reason that line has been so effective is because they've been matched mostly against 2nd and 3rd lines all year. You've got last change. Use it to your advantage.

      Nobody played well on defense last night. But, the vitriol towards Chatfield (and to a lesser extent, K'andre) is bigly misplaced. People (not just you) just refuse to accept how bad Slavin has been this season. And, I get it. Canes fans (and informed analysts) have spent nearly a decade trying to explain to casuals just how good Jaccccob is at hockey. 4Nations happened and the hockey watching public started to listen. National media even started floating the idea of creating a new award in his honor. Then this season, he gets hurt. It happens. NBD. But, when he finally came back, it wasn't the same. He'll get back to his old self in no time. Probably just some rust, it'll be fine. Only, it wasnt rust, and he's not fine. He's bad right now. It wasnt just last night. Although, that was absolutely the worst game of his NHL career. Slavin (-4) currently has the 3rd worst +/- of anyone left in the playoffs. We've  been begging the world to recognize Jaccob Slavin's greatness. And, by the time we finally got people to listen, he shits the bed! I blame Kash!
