Like everyone after our draft picks, I tried to find his condensed game tape online -- but there was none to be found. So I spent the time to bring you guys 2 of his full games (condensed) as well as all of the youtube VSU highlight tape condensed down to footage of just Kug. 

 

Based on the game film below, discuss if you feel he graded out to a 4th round pick or not.

Got most of the way through the first one.

he looks powerful enough. Nobody ever moved him. I might have saw a missed block or two, but he stuck with his block several times and pushed his guy out of bounds. Speed rushing LB's might be the hardest thing to pick up for him right off, but I think he will be a keeper

Plays with a good base. Feet always seem to be moving. Looks like he can get over extended and lunge at times. All against Sub-D1 talent. 4th round seems a bit high but Gettleman wanted him so he grabbed him.

Remember the other day when they said we were gonna run the ball this year? He is perfect for that. Finesse stuff might take awhile, but straight ahead blocking and even block one guy and get to the next level is good for him. He did that several times, get off his guy and get a LB.

I think drafting him in the 4th round was a mistake.  I voiced my opinion after it happened stating,

 

Unprecedented Move: Panthers take an UDFA in the 4th

 

 

 

 

"Can anyone explain to me why the Panthers would draft a player that doesn't grade above the 7th round in the 4th.

Was there truly a fear that this kid, Edmund Kugbila, wouldn't be available in the 5th, or even 6th round?"

If Amini can come from D-II school and switch from LT to LG and play decently in his rookie season then Kugbila can do the same without switching position..........I'm betting my money that he is our starting RG when the season starts..........They didn't draft him for no reason knowing that we have issues with our RG and passing on other D-I school prospect...............He has the size, girth and power to play in Power Run game we are going back to.......

My biggest concern is that he couldn't qualify academically to play in the SEC. That's bad. We are going to have special needs guys at both guard positions.

 

This is overplayed... guy moved here when he was 12.  Its not that he's special... its that he didn't know.  Could you get a qualifying SAT score with 4-5 years of american schooling?  Doubt it.  The fact that he was recruited by those schools should tell you enough.  Dude can play.  Give him a year or two and we'll all be happy to have him.

      I was definitely on board with re-signing Darnold for another year while they drafted someone. Darnold really turned a corner once he came back in the second half of 2022. He is one of the better QBs in the NFL now for sure. Still makes those patented Darnold blunders though, evidenced by throwing a pick on a potential game winning drive yesterday. But he was also stellar at times during that game too.

      I dare you to go “pull the records” on my Cam posts. 🤣🤣🤣  Kyle Allen posts too.  I was one of the few screaming how garbage he was early.  Also, look up the posts and see what side I was on when it was rumored Olsen tried to console Cam his rookie year after a tough loss.  And whose side I was on when people criticized Cam for the towel, or “pouting” or for dancing.  I have never wavered.  Not only do I pull for Cam as an athlete, but I felt a kinship with him dating back to his Florida days.  I wrote about it here.  I know what it’s like to be judged off your persona, your reputation that someone else has given you, off falsehoods, off appearances, off of a mistake.  I know what it’s like to be ridiculed and omitted from opportunities for those things.  I’ve never me Cam, but that’s my brother.  So, anything insinuating anything else is hilarious.  I was riding for Cam when half the board wanted Marcel Dareus.🤣  I was riding for Cam and running off racists like “TheRealDeal” over Matt Moore (who, actually was a damn good QB, imo, but he was no Cam).  To this day, I still maintain, if we signed Cam off the street right now, he is the best QB on this roster instantly.  I don’t care what anyone says.   So if you have some sort of previous history with another poster or posters that made the racial component obvious, then please share, but when it’s coming from me?  Trust and believe - this ain’t that.  Never will be.  And no doubt, a ton of Cam hate was purely racial.  But, I call a spade a spade.  Mentioning Bryce in the same breath as Cam is objectively insulting.

      I haven’t. And always willing to show face. If you’re going to a game let me know. Love for you to explain why I’m an idiot to my face.
