Who's your guy?

Offense

I'd like for us to go for a receiver, so perhaps either DeAndre Hopkins or Cordarrelle Patterson. But I like the look of Chance Warmack as well to give us an improvement at guard.

Defense

For me I would probably go for Star Lotulelei or Datone Jones. If he fell someone like Xavier Rhodes would be an excellent pick and give us a decent CB for the future.

I don't really hope for the guys I really want anymore. Throughout the years, I've learned just to observe the tendencies of a FO, and try to make predictions off of that. This year I think Hopkins is 'the guy'. I just looked at Hakeem Nick's scouting report coming out of college, and I tell you, his measurables are just about identical to Nuke's. Hopkins is probably faster, depending on how you want to quantify his 40 times. If you took both his combine and pro day times, he would average out at 4.52. If you just looked at his pro day, he would have an average of 4.47. His best time was 4.41, which is pretty impressive.

NB. NFL.com says he ran a 4.57 and 4.58 at his pro day. Every other source says otherwise though. I don't really trust NFL.com on this one, considering it was Gil Brandt who went to Clemson's pro day, senility and all.

    • He is "Keep Pounding." https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45498715/nfl-carolina-panthers-chuba-hubbard-olympics-flag-football-track
    • This.  He knows where the seam is about to open, cuts, and accelerates hard. He’s slippery and tacklers always seem to be taking awkward angles to get to him. No dancing. Runs low and powerful. Almost never goes backwards for a loss. We’ve rarely had the guy who bounces off of tacklers. It’s nice seeing another one. 
    • I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question.
