Tavon Austin over Werner, Star and Warmack is comical. Fisher wont drop out of the top 4.

You are probably right, I imagine someone will trade up for Fisher. Not sure why everyone wants Star so bad, he is more of a 3-4 DE than a 4-3 DT...

I don't see that at all. He's a pocket collapsing, take on 2 or 3 blockers and still not give ground, 4-3 DT. He's a beast against the run, fires as quick off the snap as any DT I've seen in a long time, completely rag dolls single blockers (in college of course, though I think he'll be as effective against your average NFL OL too).

He's not particularly tall, he's not undersized by any stretch, nothing about him really looks like more of a 3-4 DE than 4-3 DT. If he WERE in a 3-4 it'd probably be as a DE, but he could probably play NT in a 3-4 effectively too because he just so strong at the point of attack. He's as versatile and generally talented a DT prospect as I've seen. He might not be the pass rusher Suh was coming out, but (discounting the potential heart problem) if Suh and Star were coming out at the same time I'd have a hard time choosing between them.

Go back and watch more videos of Star, I think you might change your tune. Richardson and Floyd are more prototypical 3-4 DEs (Richardson with his height, length, quickness and motor and Floyd with his quickness and inability to take on blocks in the middle). Star is an absolute beast of a 4-3 DT.

      Off Season Thread

      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

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      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.
