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

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
