Of all the Cowboys they could have picked, Charles Haley? :eek:

Sam Madison for the Dolphins? Over guys like Marino, Clayton and Duper? Heck even Zach Thomas?

And Troy Vincent for the Eagles? Really? :confused:

The 'alumni' part may be right, but on some of these, I don't think I buy the 'legendary' :nonod:

Well, objectively speaking, who for the Panthers actually qualifies as "legendary"? :(

Hoover's a good choice, though for a "Mr. Panther" role I might say Mike Minter suits the bill better.

But no argument with Hoover. He's a great guy and I'm proud he was one of ours.

They could have also done Moose

I had the chance after a training camp practice to ask Hoover who his ugliest offensive lineman was. It cracked him up. He was three or four people down from me in line and still laughing :lol:

And yeah, Moose would be a good choice, but he was a player rep for the NFLPA (awkward) :sosp:

I think this is more of a matter of who they could get to agree to do it rather than picking and choosing who makes the announcements. Legendary Panther retirees: Kevin Greene and Reggie White first in my mind, even though they're not best known as Panthers. They coulda got Mills III too. I think Hoov is about as good a choice as anyone.

This is part of a thing the NFL is doing which they refer to as having "legendary alumni" announce picks.

I guess Hoover is who they found most 'legendary' for us.

Wonder who's 'legendary' for the Jags and Texans.

For JAX, Boselli would've been a good one - being he was their first draft pick. Jimmy Smith would've been good too, but I'm guessing off field stuff from recently eliminated him from that.

    • I mean I'd like to add a monster TE as much as anyone else but ultimately what use will that serve with a QB who had 54 passing yards in 4 quarters at one point last season? Defense defense defense.
    • Personally I think he's a nightmare to cover I think linebackers generally aren't fast enough to keep up with him in coverage and cornerbacks don't have the strength to tackle him one-on-one in physically bring them down which would normally lead to a broken tackle or a nasty stiff arm or just bully ball play sure you could find a receiver with comparable speed like Cooper but he's faster than Cooper sure you can find a wide receiver that is the same size but he's probably More powerful than them and a better blocker.  The size speed athleticism package that he is in is completely unique it's easier to say I'd rather have just a big blocker because we've never seen this type of profile before I'm a risk taker I think you would be God blessed if this was there at 19 I think if you can get a guy that's a tight end who immediately becomes the fastest guy on your offense and at the same time that third wide receiver that can stretch and burn defenses over the top that's the perfect what the Panthers need type weapon.
    • I think you're under selling Sadiq. They are two different players in terms of how they win. Loveland is 2 inches taller maybe 5-6 pounds heavier. Comparing his speed to sadiq.. well your comparing a 4.7 guy to a 4.3 guy I'm seeing a guy that can take a bubble screen from the tight end position and turn it into a house call. I'm not saying the guy is a certified home run pick but I don't think there's really a president's for a comparison for this kind of athlete. It's easy to say this doesn't look like Warren or Loveland because we haven't seen guys that fit this profile The closest you might be able to get is Vernon Davis.  He's not as sure far as those guys were but at 19 I think almost everybody is going to have some warts and he's a lottery ticket of could be top 10 in the draft player or could fail I am more of a risk taker I think he fits the athletic profile that could be a homerun, like I said he's almost 40 lb bigger than Cooper and like 4-5 in taller than Cooper so and he's faster. So whatever you think Cooper gives you I think he does that and more. If you want to go with one of the office alignment I can understand that as well but for value as a receiving threat I don't think there's a bigger value at number 19.
