Alshon Jeffery next year?

Nah, he'll be pumping gas in five years (for those who don't understand the reference... Lane Kiffin said that about Alshon after he lost the recruiting battle for him to Spurrier).

But seriously, the guy is a BALLplayer. I honestly don't think I remember him ever dropping a catchable ball...at all. He is by far the most physical receiver in the country. Gets great separation from a combination of deceptive speed/quickness and physicality. Then he can outjump any DB and make some incredible catches away from his body. And you think he's slow? Watch some of the tapes of him torching Arkansas in 2009 on a 80 yard go-route and Tennessee on a 70 yard slant last season. Or just watch the first USC-Auburn game from last season. Alshon torched the soon-to-be national champions for 197 yards and 2 TDs.

Too early to know what our needs will be next year. A star could have a career ending injury or Gettis could win the triple crown. You just never know till the season is nearing it's end.

Saw a 2012 mock with us taking him, it was as premature and stupid as this thread.

eh, not really, way too early mock drafts happen after the draft ends. it happened last year with Locker as the top pick and Newton not even heard of. i am ok with it because it let's you see where people make mistakes and shows me guys who were top prospects.

You guys all know way more about South Carolina football than I do, but Foxsports.com 'never too early' 2012 has us taking this guy 3rd overall next year.

I guess my question is whether or not he is a 'can't miss' WR ala AJ Green this year? My quick google said he is 6' 4" 230?? Wow. Would it be worth it to get maybe 5 wins and pick in the top 5 for this guy as this mock suggests? I'm not saying I want to win just five games but just wanted some insight to this guy.

Alshon is an awesome WR. I'd love for us to sign him, he would be an great addition to our WR core, especially in the red zone. His height and hands are great.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
