I have left the following Bandwagons


Kurb

Recommended Posts

as of yet, no one. in fact i've added a couple.

combine didn't really change my mind on anyone except for a couple that impressed me.

with our first pick i'd be happy enough with brockers, poe, jenkins, kirkpatrick, kuechly, cox, or even ingram.

i'm not hard core on anyone's bandwagon, though my preference is to go DT with the first pick. whether that's brockers, poe, or cox....i don't know and i don't really care. i'd be happy with any of them.

sitting at 9 is a really tough spot. i still haven't figured out who i want

poe to me is a huge reach at 9. brockers and coples i think will be decent in the nfl, just not big time impact guys you want in the top 10.

i heard a lot of good things about ingram but after looking into him i'm not blown away and i don't really trust his size.

i would love to get claiborne but there's zero chance he falls and I wouldn't want to trade up. jenkins and kirkpatrick I think will be good but again just not worth a top 10 pick.

don't like spending a top 10 on a WR, especially when it's not a big need, unless they're the next calvin johnson which blackmon really isn't.

still i don't know much about. cox is an interesting prospect, want to look into him more. other than that I don't know. tough spot

Brockers

Poe

Any TE before round 4

Jenoris Jenkins

Strange DE/OLB hybrid people.

What bandwagons have you abandon ?

Poe looks pretty good rushing the passer from the DE postion, but he's a long term project, not a NFL ready DT. I seriously doubt he would have much of an impact for us in his first season here. In the long run he could develope into a decent NT who can stuff the run. Don't want him in the top 10.

Jenoris Jenkins - Opposing QBs will attack him in the red zone with high throws to taller WRs, jump balls, he doesn't weigh much either, and will struggle to tackle the big NFL WRs. Don't want him in the top 10.

Strange DE/OLB hybrid people. I think Hurney has learned his lesson, and I don't want them either unless they knee bend like Dwight Freeney.

    • Coaches can't mentor, they coach, they are two entirely different things, and your coaches can also only do so many things at one time.  When they're running a drill, the vets are pulling the young guys aside after their reps and giving tips while waiting for the drill to reset. You do also realize that for the most part, players are only around the coaches in the film room and on the field, coaches aren't in the locker room other than just before the game and at half.  That's another place someone like Thielen shines, he's always been a pro's pro, he's going to take these young WRs under his wing and team them how you go about being an NFL player. That's not stuff coaches do, you NEED the vets for it and Thielen has embraced the role.  When you have a guy who made his career on doing the little things right, and he is willing to be that vet mentor to a group of young WRs in their 1st or 2nd year that you hope to be your future 1-4, then he's worth every penny we're giving him this year.
    • Why in Minnesota? That's bizarre. Not like we have a vet WR who played his college ball and the majority of his NFL ball in Minnesota that a few room temperature IQ Panthers fans want to poo on who was obviously brought in every bit as much to mentor young WRs as much as he was to play who has still managed to put up decent numbers in awful offenses in the twilight of his career. Anyone who thinks the Panthers haven't gotten everything out of Thielen that they signed up for shouldn't be taken seriously.
