19. Carolina Panthers: Akheem Mesidor, edge, Miami

General Manager Dan Morgan, a member of the Hurricanes’ Ring of Honor, isn’t going to draft a Miami player because of the connections to his alma mater. But it wouldn’t hurt, especially with the Panthers in the market for a charged-up edge rusher

51. Carolina Panthers: Jacob Rodriguez, LB, Texas Tech

I’m speculating here, but I think it is fair to say Rodriguez is the type of linebacker that Morgan would greatly appreciate. Because of Rodriguez’s toughness, athleticism and instincts, this would be a great fit for both sides.

Would love Rodriguez if we don’t go CJ Allen or Hill Jr. R1.

Think he’s an excellent player that won’t have much issue translating.

Like him ahead of Trotter but both would fit our scheme as odd front offballs.

Mesidor I like, he’s a guy who should have an immediate impact but is also 25 😕

They asked Morgan about older players in either his presser or McAfee, I don’t recall. 
He said yeah, he got it, basically. But that if the player was advanced enough that you don’t need to develop him for a couple of years and can step right in and produce on a rookie deal… “there is value there”. 
I am not recalling if this was tangental to the being fooled by one year of production comment or a particular player or any of that.

But he’s right. If you could get 5 years off a 1st rounder and let someone else overpay him, that isn’t a horrible scenario. 
 

I am not applying this specifically to Mesidor just in general.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
