Lattimore to Enter the Draft

If he goes undrafted, I could see us picking him up.. he being from the Carolina area, and with us most likely releasing DWill's contract, I think Lattimore might see a good opportunity here. Of course, he will most likely be worthless next season after a complete reconstruction of his knee.. but he has potential. I remember Willis McGahee having the same injury in college, and he had a great career thus far.

The fact that McGahee was drafted late in the first round should tell you that Lattimore is not going to last until the 7th. I think the farthest he drops is the 3rd.

That's also a good point. I suppose it will have a lot to do with how each teams set of trainers believe his recovery and rehab is going, before assigning a final grade.

Yeah, but we have to remember Lattimore was coming off a major knee injury before the injury to the other one this year. So that is two bad knees he will be running on, and his style of play is physical running. I don't know if many teams will be willing to draft him early.

he was projected to be #1, at worst #2 RB off the board this season, and he undoubtedly possesses elite talent at the position, when healthy. I'd say a 4th or later pick on a guy like that is totally worth it, but not for the Panthers. If we draft a running back, I will probably find a little animal or baby to punch in the throat.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
