5 safeties and 3 corners...

Obviously, we are going to be watching the waiver wire for CBs. (Hurney said as much during the game)

But, with us keeping 5, could we be looking at moving one of the safeties to corner? Pugh and Martin both have very good coverage skills, and it would be hard to imagine either being worse than what we already have at CB.

Pugh split time between FS and CB at A&M and played mostly CB in HS. Martin has been a Safety since HS, but most draft gurus had him slotted as a corner in the NFL. Many had him ranked as the 8th or 9th best CB in the draft.

This is probably just useless speculation, but who knows. Maybe this is a backup plan if no one of Rivera's liking becomes available.

Yeah, I am pretty sure Godfrey played CB in college, but his coverage skills are not nearly as good as Pugh or Martin.

I would say we're counting on the pressure of our front 4, but at this point that is laughable...

I expect the LBs are going to be turned loose in a Rivera/McDermott scheme though... So that will help some...

I was thinking if we signed Merriweather then they may explore moving one of Godfrey, Martin, or Pugh back to corner... And I believe any one of them could make an outstanding one with their ability...

BUT, I'm really hoping we take a shot at 2 CBs in FA out of the guys that were released.

It's gonna be interesting to see what we do. Philly always stayed stacked and deep in the DB dept., so I see us doing the same.

      Round 7: The Carolina Panthers select LB Jackson Kuwatch (Miami of Ohio)

      By bigginpc · Posted

      He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.

      This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.

      Round 5: The Carolina Panthers select C Sam Hecht (Kansas State)

      I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
