Hopefully Adams doesn't have any serious injuries but being smaller may be an issue. Durability can be a concern.

He's taller than Smitty and only 1 lb smaller than he was coming out. Shouldn't have trouble putting on some NFL weight.

Joe Adams was a consensus first team All American this year. I liked Robinson a lot and wished he could have sproing back from his injury, but as a prospect he wasn't even in Adams' league.

He will need to I think without affecting his speed. Some things I have read suggest that to be equivalent in height/weight for every inch taller it translates to 8-10 lbs in weight. In other words for them to be built similarly, at 5'11" Adams should be around 185-190 to be similar in size to Smitty who has had to battle broken bones over the years as well.

Small college guys don't get the hype but that doesn't mean they aren't good prospects. We all know guys from small schools with little hype who did well while much bigger names fizzled. I don't think that you can decide that Adams will be a success or injury resistant based on being an All American from the SEC anymore than a Heisman guarantees success either. Robinson struggled due to injuries more so than lack of talent. I don't think we can annoint Adams as better or more talented until we see him play a snap or two.

Is our second rounder a poor prospect because he played division II ball?

Both of them were fourth rounders.

Ryne wasn't as quick as Adams

Ryne wasn't a downfield threat

Ryne didn't play in the strongest conference in the nation

Ryne wasn't known as a great kick returner

Robinson was known as an incredible punt returner, he had 7 tds. Adams isn't known as a kicker returner either, he only had 7 kick returns in his career and zero his senior year.

Robinson looked great to me in practice, it just didn't translate to games.

Id argue Robinson was just a good returner....one who played 4 years in a weak conference. 4 years stands out....can really inflate numbers considering no one plays 4

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
