So I called into NFL Radio's "late hits" with Gil Brandt who they call the "Godfather".

I asked him about my 2 favorite potential prospects(Jenkins and Jeffery) for us and 2 others(Coples and Still) I wanted to know more about.

His favorite was definetly Coples. He says he wouldn't mind using a top 5 pick on Coples if he knew for sure that he would play hard on every down as he has a tendency to slack of a little.

Next Favorite was Jeffery, thinks he would be a good pick at 8 or 9 and says he has great size and playmaking ability. Biggest thing for him to secure a spot that high will be his timed speed at the combine.

Thinks Janoris Jenkins is a great player as well but thinks he will go in the 15-20 range.

Mentioned that Devon Still's uncle was Art Still and seems to think thats way to high of a pick for him.

I wish he would have elaborated more on each players ability, or his scouting report of each but oh well.

btw heres a link to his top 100 for those who dont visit the draft forum

i don't care where he has him ranked. i care about why.

why so hung up about jeffery?

I like him alot, so sue me. I am not a fan of any college team so i'm not being a homer. I just think he would be a very effective weapon for Cam and despite whatever speed issues people say he has, theres plenty of video evidence on youtube to suggest its not a problem. I like the fact that he's proven he can go against top rated corners, be doubled and tripled and still be produce very well.

The reason I like him and Jenkins is because they have both proven to be elite at the college level against other top tier talent. I know its an unpopular opinion on here but i'm not looking for pie or rep. I like discussing the panthers when i'm bored and this is the best place to do it.

Jeffrey's speed wasn't an issue in college, (unless you call getting run down from behind by LB's a problem) but it very well could be in the NFL.

If you pair Alshon with Cam in our offense I see no reason he can't be as good as Plaxico Burress in his prime. Coincidentally Plax was taken 8th overall by the steelers in 2000.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By strato · Posted

      I have been looking for a dropped pass list and all that comes up is QBs. And team stats. When I do receivers I get the passing stats for a handful that threw passes this year.    I wanted to be accurate but anyhow I was looking because thought I remembered reading where T Mac had more drops than XL this year.  One of you many smarter than me people here,I would appreciate it if you know how to pull that up, please do. Thank you.    And yeah I know that isn’t all there is to it I just thought it was interesting.  Of course what the hell is a drop lol.

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
