Who Is The Player You Pray The Panthers Don't Draft?

I will start.

DT Dontari Poe, Memphis. Most mocks (30+% according to DC Mocks) have us taking Poe. He is a workout warrior. His game film shows a weak motor and he is on the ground a lot. His stats were not good compared to other players from bigger schools who got double teamed weekly--he was SECOND team ALL CONFERENCE USA.

Personally, I think he is hyped by the media because his freakish combine made him look like a stud. He is not. From what I can gather, he is not high on a lot of boards.

CRAZY PREDICTION: (I do not think it is)--He wll be one of the biggest fallers in the draft. Look for him to be drafted in the top 12--of the second round.

Poe.

He's an amazing athlete for his size, but he doesn't know how to use his weight or strength against opponents both larger and smaller than him.

His motor is almost non-existent.

He's constantly on his ass, pancaked by people 50 pounds less than him.

Would take him as a risk in the second, but I know there's no way he'll make it down there because of his amazing combine, so I say NO to him at 9.

Coples. I worry about all of the things that come along with him. The questions about him taking plays off (it's much worse for a player of Coples athleticism to take plays off than a guy the size of Poe), and the worries about the things that happened at Carolina.

Yeah I've been vocal about not wanting Poe too. He's started 30 games and yet he's as raw as a cucumber. When you're drafting a project you're pretty much predicting him to develop after 2 years or so. If he can't develop after starting for 2 years in college, why would he be any different after 2 years in the nfl?

Still also scares me for different reasons. He just gets injured way too often.

Dontari Poe. Riding a combine isn't enough for me.

Alshon Jeffery (Jeffrey, Jeffries), He's over rated and I wouldn't want him in the second either. Regardless of QB Issues and schemes, his physique is his meal ticket. Rather have Hill who was somewhat productive in a run first offense as well and never fluctuated in weight.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
