I'm sure that won't change the negatice poe vibe that many have

Mayock is the first to say, ya rate by tape. If they hve a good combine, then ya go back and watch more tape, to comfirm or deny.

Most experts agree, he is the best dt in the draft. Worth the 9th overall, whether ya agree or not.

Of coourse, this doesn't mean the Panthers will draft him..

He was tied for 5th prior to the combine...that was based on his play and knowing he had a great skill set. IMO it just confirms the gap between 1 and 6 is small...

Also, in now way does Mayock turning his top 5 upsid down mean most experts agree...

I'm intrigued as hell about him. If we take him, I'll assume that the staff has done a ton of research on him and they feel like they can motivate him and coach him up. You can't teach his talent and attributes - however, that's what is said about most draft busts.

If we take a DT in the 1st, he's #1 on my wish list as of right now.

If he is, do we actually have a NT that would be the anchor for said hybrid?
Off the top of my head I don't think we have anyone over 310 lbs... You could say Edwards I suppose...

Edit. Kearse and Shirley are over 310lb. Shirley is almost 350lb apparently. So anchor? Maybe... Starter? Unlikely.

Exactly. I hate to say it but if he's going to pull off this mad scientist hybrid defense. Poe just assured himself a #9 pick in this draft.

The guy can play 3-4 and 4-3. Which would lead me to believe he's the guy Rivera would want.

If Rivera is willing to groom him and let him develop then Poe has the athleticism to be our next Kris Jenkins. But he is not going to do much in 2012. It will take him time to learn better hand and foot technique. hop we are longsighted enough to see potential down the road. Because if we do go DT, he would be my choice.

I think Poe is absolutely worth the #9 pick. I just feel Brockers is more worth it, but I still like Poe.

And Perry and Gilmore? I'd be shocked if either were drafted in the top half of the 1st. Perry might go a bit higher to a 3-4 pass rusher needy team like SD or NYJ, but if they pass on him I doubt he goes before the Patriots select.

Last year at this time I knew exactly who I wanted. This year, I haven't a clue. It is still a jumbled mess to me.

There are a number of good candidates, but no one seems to really jump out as the clear BPA once you get past Luck, RGIII, Kalil, and Claiborne.

The problem with Poe is none of us have access to game tape, and unless you are a Memphis fan, it is hard to get a clear idea of what he did on the field.

Poe, Brockers, Cox, Coples, Kuechley, Blackmon, Kirkpatrick, Reiff...hell, toss them all in a hat at this point. I think our scouts this year really have their work cut out for them to help MH make the right pick.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      Just as we won those close games we could have just as easily lost them. So the jury is out on if we were more lucky than good ( see the sweep by the saints) Were moving forward on paper. And how badly dont we all want to see us back to at least Above average form. Its about time.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
