He was brought up in the pinned combine thread but I decided to give him his own thread.

Bottom line, if he is still there in the second when we pick (which after today I really don't think he will be) he would be hard to pass up on, even though we need defensive help more than WR help he is a rare, rare, rare WR specimen.

He is 6'4 220 pounds, ran a 4.30 40, made a diving catch on a fade route that was amazing, destroyed the gauntlet drill, and is hands looked like they had glue on them.

The only downside is he came from GT and is really, really raw on his route running and it showed on some of the route running drills. But that is an easier fix than being short and/or slow.

But the added bonus of coming from GT means he is likely a very good run blocker as well.

My personal opinion, and talking to some draftniks via twitter and email, he combined his way into the top 50 overall and may (likely) go in the 1st round.

Maybe he is a combine special but I fell in love with him today. Panthers would be wise to do some homework on this guy and maybe pull the trigger if we can find a way to get him.

Thoughts??

We have an amazing oc and qb. I don't think we have to worry about having elite talent at WR when they will make them look good.

I would rather us draft an olineman than any other position on offense.

There is great value in later rounds at O-line though. Our QB is the type that can make up for some O-line deficiencies. Our O-line was pretty darn good this year. A lot of the sacks we gave up was more from Cam holding on to the ball too long (not a criticism BTW just a fact with all rookie QBs) than the offensive line breaking down.

David Gettis: shorter at 6-3, ran a 4.47 or a 4.43 at the combine, hands didn't look as good as Hill's did today or on "tape" (DVR).

LOL! I just mentioned David Gettis because everybody was so "High" on him. I was expecting this thread to fill up with the "we dont need a receiver" talk. Guess everybody had a change of heart.

    • no doubt but flip that.   The current system insures that there are "regional" games in the early weeks. maximizing the reach of playoff football.  If all of the WC weekend for a conference took place on the west coast they are reducing the "reach" of their hype machine.
    • Hard to say with London--he never ran--combine or pro day.  Here is what AI says, and it is always 100% accurate: Drake London's 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine was not recorded because he was dealing with a fractured ankle at the time. While he didn't participate in the 40 at the Combine or his pro day, his coach said his 40 time was estimated to be between 4.4 and 4.53 seconds. Some sources also list his 40 time at 4.58 and 4.6 seconds Unless you are running 9s all day, top end 40 speed is rarely reached.  I have always looked at the 3-cone drill.  At his pro day, TMac ran a 6.86--pretty good, actually.  For context, it is faster that Rome Odunze (6.88) who ran a 4.45 40.  Odunze is 6'3" and weighs 216, fwiw, and is considered a very good route runner with no wasted motion.  Mike Evans 3-cone was 7.08.  To put it in a broader context, through 2022, with all NFL prospect 3-cone drills combined, a 6.86 puts TMac in the.89th percentile-  Now consider the fact that he is 6'4" and 220.   We might have something here.  '
