Bowers has mediocre pro day

I can't link up so if someone wants to find a story and link it feel free. Apparently two scouts clocked him around 5.00 on his forty and was stiff in several drills.

Not sure how serious we were about him going into today but he didn't help himself amd didn't quash any rumors about his knee being healthy.

He reportedly looked good in defensive line drills and the three cone drill.

Bowers' much-discussed knee appeared to be fine throughout the workout, according to people at the event. For a 6'3", 276-pound defensive end that may or may not fit in a 3-4, however, the 40 times - and a reported degree of rust to his game - could cause him to start sliding (slightly) down draft boards.

I think where they said he looked stiff was in linebacker drills or something like that. So not sure how important those drills are for a DE.

The first one also said he looked rusty and a little winded but that was to be expected since he has been out of football for a while.

Word. I was going off the twitter feed. 40 times caught me off guard. Thatough he would be better but I just don't think he is healthy yet.

It is a double edged sword. If you say you are healthy but then struggle your stock drops. If you say you aren't healthy they think you heal slowly and your stock drops. He was kinda screwed either way.

Well call him 'Rock' because his draft value just sunk.

    • Great teams build through the draft and have several young players that start that are on rookie contracts. It's important to hit on players in rounds 4 thru 7.  These should be future starters and solid depth.  When you hit on most of your picks you free up a lot of cap space for those one- or two-year players to fill spots you are thin at. No GM is going to perfect on all their picks.  You're going to whiff every once in a while.  That was Hurney problem.  He'd nail the first pick but after that it was reach after reach and we couldn't get any depth on this team. I'm excited about Morgan as our GM and hopefully he'll be around a long time.  It will be even better if Canales can continue to grow as a head coach, both in the development of young players and play calling. I remember last season after Young came back in the lineup and started to perform well.  We saw different plays I had only seen other teams use.   If Canales's play design and play calling continue to grow. Morgan and Canales will be linked together for a long time.  It would be nice to see a Coach and GM together for a decade or two. Go Panthers
