Any Good Reason Why We SHOULDN'T Take Jonathan Cyprien

The honey badger is basically captain Munnerlyn with better return skills. I'd prefer O-line or safety.

I disagree... His skills are better than Captain's and are definitely top 10 in this draft.

He's got a lot of demons though, and I think and hope he's worked them out. I'd love to have him on the Panthers, actually, but I like Cyprien too.

Tyrann's basically the same ball of adrenaline that Smitty is when he steps on the field. That is the kind of player you want, IF he can keep himself clean off the field.

I would like to take a shot with him, but not in the 2nd. 4th maybe... 5th better... he's not a need for us.

because this guy is available and is a top 5 talent but status has fallen off a cliff because of off field issues

Vontaze Burfict had a terrible scouting combine and off field issues and went undrafted last year only to end up as a steal for the Bengals as he commanded the inside for the Bengals... Burfict was ranked as a a top 3 linebacker after Keek and Hightower....

I say roll the dice and take the Badger.... his play made guys like Morris Claiborne and Patrick Peterson as 1st round talents

He is not a first round talent. Not in the least.

People think and have posted that they even wanted us to take cyprien in the first but honey badger is .....not worth a second rounder.....same was said for janoris jenkins last year....laughable at best. I have been looking for cyprien film that will show me how he is a steal in the 2nd but I have yet to find it....

Huddle, please enlighten me.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers.

      Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
