I don't think the NFL views Horn as the player that we do. Remember, availability is an ability. TBH, if we had let him hit the market, I don't think you would have seen a ton of longer term contract offers precisely for that reason.

Wasn't it ESPN who had executives from each team rank players at each position and Horn came in at like 7 or 8 in the league?

Yep, just found it... https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45531014/top-10-nfl-cornerbacks-execs-scouts-2025-espn-jeremy-fowler-position-rankings

Horn comes in at #7

#8 on the list was Jaylon Johnson, who is 68th in this Top 100

#9 on the list was Quinyon Mitchell, who is 81st in this Top 100

#10 on the list was was Devon Witherspoon, who is 100th in this Top 100

Marlon Humphry was an Honorable Mention, and is 88th in this Top 100

I honestly cannot recall. I would be interested to read that article if you do find it. I don't personally view him as a top 10 CB. I haven't seen enough of him on the field to justify that.

Top 5 overall potential, without any question at all.

last season he took a hit IMO.  Dude never travels, only game I can recall him remotely traveling was last year vs a completely washed Nuk Hopkins and dude was shook.   

That ultimately is my Horn issue.  I think a CB of his pay grade should be a WR eraser.   And we have never seen that given he doesn't travel.

Kind of surprised nobody from our oline made the top 100 (not to mention DB or Horn). That being said, I don't think most people on ESPN could name 3 players on the Panthers

David Newton cant even name 3 Panthers players, your damn right the average ESPN employee cant.

Him not traveling is on Evero. He prefers using Horn to erase a section of the field vs a player since we don’t have much talent. If our defense had the talent like he did in Denver I’m sure he would let Horn shadow a WR. Regardless Horn is having to play how his DC draws it up.

True.   Buts that’s  why I  say I hate the pay given what you/we do with him.   If you can do it….erasing a #1 WR is more valuable than erasing a fraction of the field.   Opponents simply can dictate who covers their dominant players and weaker players.    

we pay him like his is a WR eraser.  And we don’t use him as such nor actually know if he could/is one

He has the ability to be one. When you have no pass rush and some bad safeties you also can’t let the offense decide where to move one of your few players. I get why he has to play him in zone right now and let the lesser players have a smaller field to work with. I do hope he gets a chance to play more man this year because historically he is better at it. 

As for the paying him thing, I get where you are coming from. Letting him walk would have just depleted us of what little talent we have though. We probably overpaid but each year that contract should look better as the market resets.

    • Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.
    • During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.    
    • It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
