In fairness to him, NO ONE knows who the Panthers are going to take or want. Hell, at where we're picking it's hard to tell who is even going to be on the board. Him saying that we wouldn't take Tavon Austin is completely contradictory to what David Gettleman has been preaching though.

He's a sportswriter. His whole job is to know stuff. That's what he's paid to do.

Even if he can't get hold of the Panthers draft board, he should at least have researched the team enough to be able to make good, solid educated guesses.

I see no indication he's put in that much effort.

Ok that's a wrap. Here's what I got from the chat:

1) The Panthers view the needs as DT, CB, S, and OT. Not so much wide receiver.

2) The Panthers wouldn't mind adding more picks but won't drop back too far in order to do it.

3) Person seems to think that the defensive backfield is definitely going to be augmented through the draft in some way.

4) Person seems to like Richardson a lot but doesn't seem sure if the Panthers are.

5) Austin would be tempting to grab if he's there but doesn't think the Panthers will do it.

6) Rivera absolutely needs a winning record to remain in Carolina.

7) Panthers will only address OL if the right guy is there, if they do he thinks Bell could move inside to guard.

8) He definitely feels that there are better safety prospects than Vaccaro, and doesn't think he'll be the pick.

9) He thinks there is a strong chance that Star could fall and that the panthers would take him if he was there.

10) Person has no clue what the Panthers want and I just wasted an hour of my life.

Nothing new that we doesn't already know of. Damn Person

Panthers don't want a WR...so they have private workouts with more WR's than any other position?

Got it.

I actually asked him specifically about that and his response was that they would take a receiver "at some point"...doesn't seem to think it will be in the first.

How many of the receivers they worked out are guys that you would expect to still be around "at some point"?

I wasn't really defending him because I too think that he's awful. I'm just saying it's a bit ridiculous to expect anyone to know exactly what's going to happen in the draft. It's not like we all don't already know the positions the team has been targeting anyways.

I don't expect him to know exactly who we're going to draft.

I'd just like for him to know more about the team than he actually demonstrates knowing in this chat.

If he said the Panthers were looking to take Tavon, all if you would be slobbering over how great Person was.

Typical for fans...live the guy that agrees with you and hate the guy that does not.

To be fair Hatter, he doesn't have to agree with me. It'd be nice if he agreed with himself, though. Some of his inconsistencies are kinda head scratching.

      At this point its Sadiq or bust... A

      By micnificent28 · Posted

      Personally I think he's a nightmare to cover I think linebackers generally aren't fast enough to keep up with him in coverage and cornerbacks don't have the strength to tackle him one-on-one in physically bring them down which would normally lead to a broken tackle or a nasty stiff arm or just bully ball play sure you could find a receiver with comparable speed like Cooper but he's faster than Cooper sure you can find a wide receiver that is the same size but he's probably More powerful than them and a better blocker.  The size speed athleticism package that he is in is completely unique it's easier to say I'd rather have just a big blocker because we've never seen this type of profile before I'm a risk taker I think you would be God blessed if this was there at 19 I think if you can get a guy that's a tight end who immediately becomes the fastest guy on your offense and at the same time that third wide receiver that can stretch and burn defenses over the top that's the perfect what the Panthers need type weapon.

      I think you're under selling Sadiq. They are two different players in terms of how they win. Loveland is 2 inches taller maybe 5-6 pounds heavier. Comparing his speed to sadiq.. well your comparing a 4.7 guy to a 4.3 guy I'm seeing a guy that can take a bubble screen from the tight end position and turn it into a house call. I'm not saying the guy is a certified home run pick but I don't think there's really a president's for a comparison for this kind of athlete. It's easy to say this doesn't look like Warren or Loveland because we haven't seen guys that fit this profile The closest you might be able to get is Vernon Davis.  He's not as sure far as those guys were but at 19 I think almost everybody is going to have some warts and he's a lottery ticket of could be top 10 in the draft player or could fail I am more of a risk taker I think he fits the athletic profile that could be a homerun, like I said he's almost 40 lb bigger than Cooper and like 4-5 in taller than Cooper so and he's faster. So whatever you think Cooper gives you I think he does that and more. If you want to go with one of the office alignment I can understand that as well but for value as a receiving threat I don't think there's a bigger value at number 19.
