"...Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator Jeff Davidson ran the workout for quarterback Brian Hoyer at Michigan State's pro day Wednesday..."

There's also this...

Hey, it's nice to dream and don't rule out the possibility of Hoyer landing with the Panthers. But don't read too much into who's at what workouts or what players make pre-draft visits to what teams. Everybody's watching workouts and going through the visiting process. It's all part of the routine.

Davidson as the front man for Hoyer's workout doesn't mean all that much. A lot of times, those things happen because a college coach knows a pro coach or all the coaches show up and somebody says, "All right, who wants to run this workout?" and somebody volunteers. There's not a lot of rhyme or reason in these things.

There's some logic to it though. A second day pick with the kind of profile the Panthers like. He also lacks major hype so might be "stashable" on the practice squad for a year or two.

I still think Moore is the future with McCown being a "bridge to the future" if you will,but maybe "Brain" could pick up where Basanez left off.

    • What you are saying isn't always true and I'll give you several examples to demonstrate this. 1) The best player on the board at the end of in round 1 by all consensus is RB (top 15 player in draft who slips b/c of the devaluation of the RB position). Your team is in desperate need of a LT because the current one is getting your QB killed. You already have a serviceable RB in place. The LT has a 2nd round grade and you have the first pick on day 2 of the draft Who do you choose? 2) Your run defense was abysmal the previous season. A DT in round 2 does not provide much in terms of pass rush, but most reports have him rated as the best pure run stuffing DT in the draft. The two highest rated players on your board at the time are a TE and tweener at OLB/DE who slipped into round 2 after a run on WR's. Who do you choose? 3) Your pass rush rush is solid across the board. You even have guy coming off of the bench to provide production. Your secondary in below average. No Safety on the roster is a difference maker and as a unit the squad doesn't have an INT. The highest rated player on the board is a DE. The 5th highest rated player on the board is a an intelligent ball hawking Safety. Which player would make the team immediately better?  1) I think the BPA logic applies when your team is solid across the board and you can afford to draft for depth 2) I think it also applies when your team stinks and any solid player will be an immediate upgrade over what you already have. I agree that you should NEVER reach for a player when you are need at a position like we did for Bryce Young. But I also think if there's is a player on the board that will fill a glaring weakness you need to take him even if a player with a higher over all ranking is available at another position (which isn't a need)  
    • Bryce Young excels at dividing Panthers fans. That seems to be what he's best at.
