Star Lotulelei

Carolina Panthers (7-9)

COLLEGE: Utah

AGE: 23

HT: 6-2

WT: 311

POS: DT

Analysis: The Panthers were simply bad as a run defense in 2012, and that's even after they drafted Luke Kuechly to hold down the middle. Well, your run defense isn't going to get better just because you get consistent tackling at linebacker. Lotulelei can occupy blocks given his initial burst and his ability to read, identify and make tackles against the run himself. The Panthers need to come out of this draft with some help for the interior of their D-line.

It should be noted that he has Sheldon Richardson going #10 to the Titans.

Ok somethng is up. First Joe Person says "Panthers like Star at 14 a lot." Then the story I posted a little bit ago that said "Panthers will not take a DT unless its Star." Now suddenly nearly every single draft expert has us taking Star. I just dont see how all these experts can suddenly switch on the fly from sheldon richardson to now "oh nevermind, Star to the Panthers." I think A. The draft experts heard from team sources that they wont draft Star in the top 13 and B. Panthers sources saying they love Star

PFT just released their final mock and had us taking star as well.

Yea there is definately a leak. Someone somewhere heard from numerous teams in the top 13 that Star is off their draft board and that the Panthers will pounce on him. This is very very similar to the mocks all changing in 2011 to us drafting Cam when it became clear he was our guy. It was a big sea change in the mocks like we are seeing with Star right now

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
