Something tells me Kiper would willing gag on a certain Cleveland Browns rookie 5th rounder. 

That something being how he acted all weekend, and the A+ he gave the Browns draft (despite supposedly taking his boy two rounds later than another QB that he thought was inferior).

I think we hit it out of the park. The Falcons sold the farm to get 2 pass rushers and I can see a path where ours are just as good or if not better 

I was a fan of Jalon Walker until I started to think about how to use him.  

 

Quote

 

"On 1st and 2nd down, I want, especially Jalon, to really have an opportunity to just master playing on the edge because I think there's something there that's really special," Ulbrich said. "Give him an opportunity just to have one home initially and become as good as he can at that.

"Then, from a third down perspective, we can get creative with him and that'll be part of his superpower."

 

SI

I would be worried about how he is going to defend run plays and bigger more athletic linemen in the NFL as an Edge.  Pearce is intriguing. Needs to add some weight but the guy is extremely athletic with a high ceiling. Trading away your first rounder for a guy with character concerns is risky, but I guess they did their homework.

Exactly why I never liked the idea of taking Walker, just felt he was a bad fit as an OLB in a 3-4 at his size.  As an OLB in a 4-3 where he's more of an off ball LB and situational pass rusher he could be a really good player.  

But you don't take a 4-3 OLB at 8 in general, let alone when you run a 3-4 base, so I was just always against that idea even if he had gotten a #1 WR before the draft and wouldn't have been looking at T-Mac anyways.

Crazy, Steve Smith just said on his draft recap that talking to coaches on the team.. that T-Mac was a surprise to them because the talk earlier that day was defense first and not T-Mac. 


Well I guess we know who the leakers are.

I don't think any information is leaked out by accident when it comes to the draft, it's all purposeful except when a player does what XL does and tell the world what a team told them.

I'm not so sure when it comes to Smitty. He didn't say anything about what he heard til well after the draft. 

 

Also Smitty didn't completely hate picking WR so much as the one picked.

Think he had T-Mac ranked 5th among WR, 6th if you count Hunter.

NFL dot com gave us the 25th best draft class.

Fug them, they put Cleveland at 6 when they took, DT, Off ball LB, and RB, in that order plus 2 QBs and 2 RBs boy what a haul....

They rated us low because they didnt want us to have a WR.

Did you see his mock draft?

This man had Shedeur Sanders going 9th overall and us trading down to pick 12 to draft cornerback Jahdae Barron.

      By TD alt · Posted

      OK, let me first say that I can't get any Twitter link to embed--using "X" or "Twitter" or whatever, and I'm tired of trying. Now, I must say that I see Panthers stuff in Facebook on occasion as I'm part of some group, but I see Panthers stuff even less on the cesspool that is now X, but as a follower of the official Panthers Twitter, stuff pops up on that feed too. I guess that I shouldn't be surprised that agents of the organization would be putting out tweets like this: He's not even trying to be objective. It stands to make sense though. In order to get better information, you have to go to national sources like Kurt Warner.  I'm not necessarily trying to pick on J-Stew, per se, but I can't take him seriously, as even some past Panthers players, like Greg Olsen for example, don't seem like they're just trying to cater to Panthers Nation, just saying hollow words to make everyone feel good.  I just wonder why here on the Carolina Huddle, there seems to be more objectivity, or at least more critical thinking and serious discussion than most other social media sources on the Panthers. It's interesting. There is a significant difference.  For all the changes and the seeming decline in popularity to whatever degree, the Carolina Huddle still has its place and plays a big part in overall Panthers fandom. We want to be happy, joyous and cheer for the Panthers, but we aren't necessarily trying to shoot sunshine up people's derrières either.
