Official Panthers Cuts Thread...

@caplannfl: Have to imagine that coaches knew early on Watkins wouldn't work out. Less to do with talent, more to do with desire.

@caplannfl: Watkins did dominate during Senior Bowl week practices, no question, but only had 1 good season at Baylor. And clearly never loved the game.

@RoobCSN: I don't think Danny Watkins will play again. I don't think his heart was ever in football. I don't think he likes playing the game.

 

In fairness, aren't these the same kind of guys who say they know what Cam Newton is thinking?

You know, I think we should back off the AE bashing a bit. Yeah, he stunk it up the first two seasons, but he's kept his mouth shut and busted his hump to learn an entirely new skill position. No, I'm not an Armanti fan club guy, but I do believe in giving a guy who works hard a fair shake. By all accounts he's been one of the real headlines of this season so far, with glowing reports from everyone who's been asked about him. None of the circumstances that put him in a Panther uniform are his fault. He's done the work. If we can keep a clipboard holding QB around for no discernible purpose for a couple of years, I think we can probably afford to let the AE experiment go a bit longer to see if it is truly about to bear fruit. It took Greg Hardy a couple of years to get it in gear, too.

I'm very surprised by the Tauren Poole cut... hopefully we can stash him for another year on the practice squad. I liked what I saw out of him more than what I saw from Smith.

Surprised about White. He never really stood out to me. I wonder what that means for Dockery.

    • I can see Cooper being a target. Wouldn’t be bent out of shape but obviously not a preference if we’re talking position picked — but I’m just looking for impact. And man, this draft class is an odd bunch in our range. Has these really talented hybrid Slot/Safeties, McDonald (but I think I liked Tyleik more the other year), Faulk (huge work in progress), Saddiq (TE in R1?), and some interesting but wildly different profiling OTs. Our biggest needs: ILB, 3-4 DE, S/Slot (à la Branch), OT, WR, and TE The WRs here would be a notable impact add.  I personally don’t have a position I am pining for. I see Thieneman, Cooper, McDonald, and McNeil-Warren as my faves right now but it could change.  Iheanachor is a sleeper at OT over Proctor, Miller and others. A big eye-of-the-beholder year. It would take a major reach for me to be ticked with the pick bc there’s just too big a range of players, positions and types this draft. Unpopular: Honestly, I kind of love the idea of just trading up for Styles if he slips to 8/9. It’s not a year where capital is going to be lofty.     
    • I have wanted to do that since I first looked at the draft order and the crop of players.  A lot of it is, just not that impressed with the selection we are likely to have at 19. And then when I learned how good some of these ILBs are I never bought that we could sit at 51 and get one. So trading back helps us have a chance to move up for one of those guys. 
    • I would pass, dude is 30 and would require using a draft pick to get.  Maybe if we were in season and having a better year than expected and see the need for a CB, but right now no.
