Coach Rivera said we're missing a scat back..

Consider Goodson gone. Rivera doesn't like him. Huge potential though, I don't think we've seen the last of him unless his fumbling problem persists. Huge issue for multiple years I think it's time to move on with this team while we build.

Hell we could always try AE at the position maybe he'll do something.

Sign me up for Rainey. I would love him in the 4th or later. Anyone have an idea of his projected spot?
i've seen anything from 5th rounder to udfa.

he's 5'9 (supposedly) and thin so that's one knock he's got against him. not someone you could run between the tackles.

he also got into a little stupid trouble for "aggravated stalking" an ex girlfriend.

The two guys I see who would be available late (if not UDFA) are both Gators, Chris Rainey, and Jeff Demps. Both would be change of pace guys who not only would provide deadly playmakers catching the ball out of the backfield, but also instant offense with their world class speed and return ability. If either was available in the sixth I would pull the trigger in a heartbeat....

I can't see Rainey succeeding all that well in the NFL. I have watched basically every game of his while at UF. He has a great juke and spin move but he just isn't physical enough for me. He loves to run sideways until (if) he sees an opening to run north-south. He wouldn't be much of a RB but more of a receiver out of the backfield.

If the front office wants someone like that, then fine. But I wouldn't draft him til the 6th round on.

hence the reason he's a scat back. get him into open space and it looks to me like that dude is dangerous.

a 5'6/5'7 cat isn't going to bulldoze anyone 220 on up... it's not physically possible.

I realize what a scat back is. But he is no Darren Sproles. You think Rainey has been good at UF, Sproles was a beast at KSU. At least Sproles has some physicality. All I am saying is that Rainey doesn't seem like a NFL Player to me.

He texted her "Time To Die."

Dumb dude and if you heard him speak you'd see why.

    • Not really. It all depends upon perspective. You can draft quality OTs high every year. They have one of the lowest bust rates by position. DTs, less so, but good ones still come along at a regular clip. With WRs, it's simply best to draft one in the first round if you want a legit play maker. Moreover, WR is going to set you back more than OT or DT at really all statuses, meaning JAG receivers are going to make more than JAG OTs and DTs, and elite receivers will make substantially more than elite OTs or DTs. I would also argue that it's much harder to find a franchise level OT or DT that can have an altering impact upon the game. So, if you don't believe they can, you may as well wait for day 2 or 3. That's why sticking to your board is probably the wisest thing to do. If you're not committed that the value is there, then what are you doing? Lastly, I don't think you should necessarily draft in a vacuum, but you must look at each team from year to year. People want to make them the same, but they're different. You have to start over every year and identify where the strengths and weaknesses are. You can't say, "Well we drafted [so and so] last year or two years ago, so we'll just draft this this year." That's not realistic and it can be highly counterproductive, especially in light of the reason that you should be trying to use FA to set up the draft.
    • If you read through his stuff, he's had a raging hate-boner for the Carolina Panthers the likes of which would make many long-tenured Huddlers blush. Every win was "yeah but" and every loss was "see I told you so".
    • Let me preface this by saying I've read WalterFootball on and off for 20 years. That's an indictment on my decision-making, and it's more than fair to be questioned.  However, the days of reading what's become weak ragebait have drawn to a close after he re-graded the 2025 NFL Draft's first round. He gave T-Mac a C on draft night. What was his re-grade for the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year?  Carolina Panthers: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona – C Grade One-Year Grade: C+ Grade Tetairoa McMillan won Offensive Rookie of the Year, but only by default after Emeka Egbuka vanished in the second half of the season. McMillan was good, and was certainly limited by Bryce Young’s mediocrity, but there are still concerns about his work ethic and passion for football. If he doesn’t progress in the coming years, we’ll know why. Original Write-up: Wow, our Panthers source did not pan out for once. Jalon Walker was heavy chalk to go here, but the Panthers decided to draft a No. 1 receiver instead. While this fills a need, I’m concerned with Tetairoa McMillan’s work ethic, which is something you never want to hear from a first-round prospect, especially one who is chosen in the top 10. Bryce Young needs this, and McMillan is talented, but will he give 100 percent at the next level? Also, what about the defense, which was the worst in the NFL last year? https://walterfootball.com/nfldraftgrades2025.php
