Im pulling for the big fella, he's as humble and determined to make it as anyone, he definitely has the size and athletic ability to do it.

With that being said, I made a fan club page on facebook in support of him, if you support Big Lonnie as well, please join and show your support.

What makes you say that? The Jenkins part that is, what makes you think he could be that good?

he has the ability to get off the line, engage and throw people to the side, he's like the d-line version of Jeff Otah, he's a very smart young man, and very determined, he's really excited to be a Panther, just so some of you know, he had a chance to sign with his hometown, favorite team, the Baltimore Ravens, he picked Carolina, he actually picked Carolina over a few top teams, Patriots included, he's an exceptional PERSON, and with the determination he has, he's going to be one of the top DT's in this league for a while.

Lonnie was a late qualifier and didn't have the SAT scores to get into some bigger programs. He did have offers from a lot of D1 schools, but picked Morgan State in hopes that he could draw some big time attention there.

He got his weight up a little too high in college and probably didn't perform as well as he could have. He should play around 330-340 once he gets into a good diet program and workout program.

He's going to have to work on his strength, but his agility for a man his size is really strong. Plus, his vertical and broad jump numbers were really impressive.

He'll be a project, but he's a good bet with all things considered. Seems like he really wants it and he's marketing himself well. I'm pulling for him to make it.

When you mentioned the weight issues I saw the Jenkins comparison right away.

Now if he can play like him.....

Yeah, his mistake was not going to prep school when he had the chance. He could have still gotten into a big time program if he had taken the Hargrave route.

Anyway, some time in the Panthers strength and conditioning program should do him a world of good. Now it's just a matter of how hard he's willing to push himself and how he takes the coaching. I would imagine that the Panthers are willing to be fairly patient with him, since they don't need him to start right away.

      Draft intel from ESPN’s Jordan Reid

      By TD alt · Posted

      Oh, now we are "top half?" Keep moving the goal posts. No we aren't. We don't have a surefire WR2, nor do we have a TE that we can count on to consistently make big plays. Our receiving corps is somewhat bland to be honest. It does not have enough juice. Add another playmaker, then we'll likely be top half. Our receiving corps ranked somewhere between 20 and 25 in the league depending upon who you look at. No one has us in the top half based upon last season.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is hard to say--if you look back at our roster from 4 years ago...In addition, we have a ton of money going into our OL right now (which might strengthen the argument to draft a tackle now)  The average NFL career is under 4 years, but the average NFL career for first rounders is 9.3 years, so most get 2 contracts.   So having said that, I look at it as capital--if your concern (legit) becomes an issue, then you should have the same vision and trade that player and draft his replacement.  However, TMAC, Coker, and a rookie is not likely to be a problem for another 4 years--2030.   But to your point, we have a situation right now that the OL has 2 guards and a RT around or over 30.  The make about $70m per year.   I like the perspective of reality you bring, however.  Is that a factor to morgan in 2026?

      I have no problem drafting a WR, even as high as the 2nd, but I do have an issue with using a precious 1st rounder on it. Another WR is a need, but we also have a lot of other needs, and the goal should always be to draft 1st rounders that you expect to be on the team for 10 years if they stay healthy. In regards to Coker, one of two things happen.  He keeps getting better and becomes our legit #2 to T-Mac and we have to pay him accordingly, or he doesn’t. If he does, then using that 1st rounder on a WR this year was dumb.  If he doesn’t, then drafting a WR in the 1st this year would be smart, but then so would trading Coker when his perceived value would be at its highest. If we were already had a SB contending roster, then yes, a 1st Round WR to put us over the top makes sense, but we just have too many holes to fill to use it that way… again, unless the staff just doesn’t believe in Coker’s ability to become a true #2, which I think he really can be.
