Hey Cordarrelle fan club what's going on with his stock?

Here's basically the strengths and weaknesses from his Combine performance;

+ Great size- did come in a little shorter than expected, but also more compact.

+ Great athleticism- he ran a good 40 time for his size.

- Hand size- only 9.08", that's pretty small, particularly for his size, and only deepens questions about his catching ability.

- Catching- I just mentioned it, he dropped a lot of passes and relied a lot on body catches for those he didn't.

- Route-running- very sloppy and unpolished, although this was expected to a large degree.

- Interviews- simply no one is coming away impressed with him, and teams do value this stage of the process.

Overall, he definitely did not improve his stock, more likely worsened it just a bit. As of now I wouldn't expect him to be a top ten pick, although Miami is still a very reasonable option for him.

I think the sky is the limit with this guy.

He has to go to the right situation, to a team with a good/charismatic (i.e. able to convince him that he needs work) WR coach.

Physically he has it all.

I think even if he busts as a WR you've still got yourself a Pro Bowl calibre return man.

I've never been a Patterson guy despite the hype. Not enough production and to raw for my taste. I'd take Austin, Hunter and Allen over him even if he was still there. Plus Hunter will probably still be there in the second and offer a much better value.

      Which Round Will Carolina Draft Sawyer Robertson?

      No matter what we still need a QB2 with potential to be a QB1. Keep throwing QBs at the wall until we find someone who sticks.

      Panthers bring back TE Feleipe Franks

      Lot of different agendas dictating opinions.  I don’t think it was the best use of money with Hunt, specifically, but the concept of OL, I am a fan. I didn’t complain a ton because I am a believer in winning up front, on both sides of the ball. I’d rather have stout fronts than fancy WRs. I have complained some about Hunt not being worth his deal, after seeing him get pushed around in a game or two. It’s no crusade. And have complained in the context of shorting the defense.   They have leveled out the FA imbalance with the dual big signings this offseason, and it has always been the draft picks I am most protective of. Anyway The picks are the real imbalance. If you did a trade chart value of the picks we directly gave up for Bryce, and added the support picks invested for skill players, and put that on one side… then put the little 3 3rd rounders and a 2nd that the defense got over three years on the other it would be hugely out of balance. I just want the balance restored. Defense is still owed.

      I'm one of the ones that won't let it go because it didn't solve the problem. We didn't address the center position which was a huge mistake. We were in position to easily take 2 or the top IOL. Instead of drafting JPJ over XL or Frazier over Brooks, we relied on an oft injured guard to center conversion and lo and behold, it failed as predicted. XL looks like a 1 year college wonder and an injured Brooks hasn't even surpassed Eric Shelton.  Bryce was also benched for poor performance, so the issue that many claimed was solely bad oline play wasn't. It didn't fix him bailing out of tight pockets because of being unable to see the field or him refusing to work on his atrocious footwork. Then there's the $$$. Lewis got a good guard payday. Hunt got a tackle payday. Pay tackles, draft guards, if you can.  I have no issues addressing problems through FA. It was not addressing C at all that's been the issue and still has been. Ryan Kalil was the anchor of our offensive line. We had years of solid center play and it showed. Now we're still piecemealing the center position with an expensive oline and it's still a shitshow. Why? Because the player responsible for what happens on the line presnap has little to no experience doing it. We did acquire a FA center this year finally. We'll see how much that impacts the line.  Spending on a center, whether it be through draft or FA is not bad. It's not a position that can have anyone just thrown in with no drop off in performance. A great center lifts the play of the guards on each side.  I don't like how we've built the line because we've ignored the hinge pin that everyone counts on every play. And the reality of the situation is, it didn't solve the actual problems with Bryce because those have nothing to do with the oline.
