We didn't get Ransom to sit the bench but he is still learning his fits and responsibilities. He will see more field as he improves. What the defense finally did on Sunday was not have significant breakdowns with players out of place or blown coverages. As he figures that out he will ultimately become the starter because he is a dog and instinctively around the ball.

I really like our rookie class this year.. 

Yeah. So far it looks like we have 4 hits. It is early. 
plus the kicker and this new kickoff plan. 
And we got some good out of the late pucks last year. Mike Jackson is basically our 7th, CSW and Coker salvage some good from it even if XL and Brooks bust. Wallace is possibly going to be better. 
8 or 9 starters out of two drafts is really good.

Yeah well Wallace sucked, Brooks was a huge disappointment, and XL was just okay but has rented the doghouse this year. 
All we had was Sanders, Smith Wade, and Jackson. Those down ballot guys take a little time to ripen. 
If Wallace turns out to be decent add him in. 
And I forgot about Sanders.

The only slight negative is Ransom and Moehrig have a lot of overlapping skill set.  I wish we could get Richardson in a little bit too.

Ransom was asked to do everything at Ohio State. I believe he can play wherever when needed. He can play free, strong, cover, and play run defense. He looks to be better than Richardson, but Richardson does need reps. Maybe they can play him at ILB like Moehrig did some Sunday since we are so abysmal there.

Brooks will either rise from the dead and become a Thomas Davis level player or he will go down as the second coming of Eric Shelton. I'm betting it's the latter.

I honestly am not sure we really ever see him in a Panthers uniform on the field. 

I suspect he will be gone from the roster as soon as next offseason.

Not if etienne keeps making an ass of himself. 

I think that just depends on how "ready" he looks in the offseason, how Dowdle works out this year and if we have the opportunity to draft another guy above him in the offseason before he recovers.

The fact we took Etienne at all shows some movement towards looking beyond him.

      Unc Basketball thread

      The guy has not coach college in ten years and in that span its greatly changed. Still take him over Davis, I want to see the presser and if billy still has fire in his eyes for college non-sense.....plus you know billy will want a multi-million staff.  This is interesting, very....... glad the old guard FINALLY steps aside......

      Processing Blue: immediate draft needs

      By Basbear · Posted

      He's a hard player to rank, cause he is a young NT. I do see his abilities to branch out among the DL. That's the only way for him to land in the 1st, some team has to believe he's got the stuff to play DE or T3.... I just don't see using 19 on him, I feel there should be around 7 players just ranked higher than him for the Panthers team.  ___________________________________________________________________   Now you are a roster nut like me. Im tossing this into fire, I think a good move is to trade UP, yes rare. Just the roster #s tell me 5 rookies and no more than 2 starters will make the team. I feel 5 is magic number.    QB- 2  BY, Pickett RB- 3   Chubba, Brooks(pls), etienne TE- 4   Sanders, Temble, Evans, Draft pick/major/franks/UDFA OL- 10   Walker, Lewis, Fortner, Hunt, Motown, Zavailla, Samac, Stone, Draft pick, Draft pick/Charles/carter WR-  6   Tmac, XL, Coker, Metch, Horn, Tremay   offense=  25 with 3 draft picks   DL-  6   Brown, Brown, Wharton, Ray, Cam, Hunter/draft pick Ed-   5  Phillips, Nic, Prince, Jones, ST/incoom/hampton ILB-   5  Lloyd, Wallace, Bam, Claud, draft pick CB-    5 Horn, Jackson, Thor, Evans, draft pick/CSN/UDFA SS-  4  Scott, More, Ramsom, Sim   Defense = 25 with 2 picks   ST = known 3+o+d = 53 roster   SO I see only room for 5-6 with factoring in UDFA pool. That tells me to trade up! Bonus the 1st+3rd gets in front of TB yucs. Then use one of the 5ths+2nd to draft another target. That's your two starters and use the 4th, 5th and 6th for the development OTs and what ever the best player are at the pick/DB. The last couple years they have added 2-3 UDFA each year, maybe the same this year too. Soooooooo Im normally 95% trade back, but above made me change my mind. I do not want to waive 5th rounder, I feel thats high with players on the bench.    ?? There's waiver claims too, they have done that each year.
