Nic and Prince' gonna be good ones

[Jmac]

Morgan may have picked two good ones. High motors and very athletic. Wait a bit to see the full potential of these two guys together. After a full season of NFL experience and hitting the gym, they will make a difference.

I hope so. We have a good history of edge rushers but we've been in a drought for awhile.

I think the sample size is pretty small to say much of anything. I saw enough to say that I would rather gives some more snaps to them. 

DJ Wonnum and Pat Jones II aren't going to be franchise players. They are depth/role players.

Youth feels like the future for us on D for sure.

Well, and on offense. But at least we have David Moore making an entire side of the field unusable on offense.

[Move the Panthers to Raleigh]

Well, they are going to get plenty of chances this Sunday. I heard Jones and Wonnum wil be out

[jb2288]

Dan might have got 5 eventual starters out of this draft. Maybe this PFF driven drafting strategy works.

Too early to say - they got some good pressure on Sunday - forced Penix into mistakes

[NorthTryon]

Wonnum plays well, but Jones needs to be relegated to back up status. He will be an excellent back up, but Scourton is a better talent. Wonnum plays the run better than Princely now, but we are in a youth movement and Princely needs reps. I hope that both of these guys are going to be good for us down the road!

Now if we can just end the other drought...

And I'm not talking LB, Safety or TE for those paying attention.

I like what I've seen. But we should be patient. As much promise as they've displayed they and the rest of the DL are going to take some lumps too. And their success is also dependent upon the offense holding up their end of the bargain and not keeping the defense on the field the whole game.

If the offense screws them, more snaps and experience gained plus it gives them some adversity to deal with and learn from. 
 

I can’t say how it will go this year but I certainly do not want a 4th year of trying to swim upstream.

The number of starters doesn’t matter. We’ve had a bunch of rookie starters every year for a while now because we have awful talent and depth.

What we need is to get more above average starters not Wallace, Sanders, Young, and XL. All started 8 or more of their rookie year games. Mingo started 14 games his rookie year. TMJ started 9 games.

We are going to continue to be crap until we draft multiple “good” starters, not just bodies who start as rookies because we aren’t a talented team yet. Trouble is that we seem to only get above average starters from top 10 picks.

Well he only got one last year, a 5th rounder in CSW. Its a shame because there was so much quality talent around the XL and Brooks picks. Maybe he learned
