I'm glad the college football season has all but wrapped up so that these players have shown us all they have to show in pads. We will see how the underwear changes things up in Indy.

 

FA-

We will sign some of our own guys, Hardy (at least tag him), Ginn, Mitchell. We sign scrapheap/JAG's to fill holes.

 

Onto the draft:

 

 

Round 1- Jason Verrett-CB-TCU -5'10''-176

ncf_u_jasonverrett_ms_400x600.jpg

 

Hell yeah I want to fix the offense, we all do. But I want an elite talent, a day one starter. I don't value the CB position, never have, Reggie Howard and Terry Cousin say "Hi". However I feel like Verrett is a sure thing and BPA. Verrett fits our scheme perfectly with his ability to watch the QB and drive on the ball. Verrett is a bona-fide ballhawk with 8 picks and 30 pass breakups in the last two years. He is also aggressive in run support, a must have for me in a CB. I didn't go with WR here because I feel like outside of the first two guys, they have some question marks.

 

Round 2-Donte Moncrief-WR-Ole Miss-6'2''-225

 

F926734.jpg

 

This guy has it all, size, 4.4 speed, hands, what he doesn't have it what makes him a second rounder. No 1,000 yard season, no QB to throw him the ball. Moncrief is a bit of a diva, all the good ones are though right? He is a good blocker and shows an intense desire for the game.

 

Round 3-Billy Turner-OT-North Dakota State- 6'5''-310

Who? FCS player who dominates his FCS competitors, a big, aggressive lineman. Not a guy Walter and the like are talking about, but they will be. Most people want on OT earlier, and one who plays premier talent. I get that, but for me Turner's mean streak and effort sticks out. It's rare to see an O-lineman with the motor on this guy, his athleticism reminds me a little of Marcus McNeil, it's a risk, but one that I think will work out. Look for him to rise from the abyss into that 2nd tier of OT.

 

Round 4-Richard Rodgers-TE-Cal-6'4''-245

628x471.jpg

 

Rodgers is a guy who has average size, average numbers. He excels in gaining yards after contact and has the skills to be a good, not great player. 608 yards receiving this year on a horrible team, with horrible QB play. Cal is bad, bad. His dad is our special teams coordinator, that aside he is worthy at this spot and we need another tight end.

 

Round 5- Isiah Lewis-S-Michigan State-5'10''-210

hi-res-5708198_display_image.jpg

 

We need safety depth at the least. Lewis is a downhill player who comes to the ball instead of waiting for it to get to him. I like that from DB's. Lewis has had 2 picks in each of the last two years, but has a knack for getting his hand in there for deflections. He is a bit undersized at 5'10'' but knows how to tackle low and drop bigger players down to his level.

 

Round 7- Michael Schofield-OT-Michigan-6'6''-305

The guy is a solid RT for the Wolverines. As you can see, he's not a natural knee bender, he needs to gain some weight. A lot of flaws with this guy, but when you watch the game footage you can see that he gets the job done even though it's not pretty. Would be good depth for our line.

 

 

 

Thoughts?

I don't mind the Verrettt pick if "our big-3" of WRs are gone in the first (Robinson, Benjamin, Matthews), because I do believe one of those third-tier WRs will be there like Moncrief. And when I say third tier in this draft, that's usually a second tier in most draft years. We could easily snag a Keenan Allen or Cordarelle Patterson kind of WR this year in the late 2nd.

1. CB listed as 5'10''? He's gonna be eaten by Jimmy Graham, Julio Jones, Vincent Jackson and others. NO.

 

2. FCS player again? In the third round? We might get him in 7th round if he's that good. NO.

 

I like your pick on the 2nd round and that's it.

so you want to draft another captain M with our first round pick. im tired of short corners so ill pass.

 

I like Moncrief in the 2nd but would rather get a solid OT in the 1st

 

CB can wait til 3rd

 

This draft is about making sure the offense is ready for now and the future. Get weapons now and prepare to replace Gross and Smitty at the same time

The top 5 corners in this draft are between 5'10 and 6'0, why? Because that is an average size for corner back. Good luck thinking you will get a 6'2'' CB that can play zone in our scheme. You guys do know our defensive scheme right?????

yea I understand scheme and so do the Saints and the Falcons. if we have 2 5'10 CB there game plan will revolve around jump balls which will be a disadvantage.

 

im not saying we need 6'2 but I definetly want the 6'0

well Cap is 5'8 . Verrett is 5'10, but just Captain 2.0. But a 6'0 guy would be different. Two inches only matters sometimes. Makes sense.

Verrett is no Captain Munnerlyn!!!!

 

The kid is a beast and he's my 2nd best corner in this draft behind Dennard. Verrett is damn physical and will come in on run support. He's also a ball hawker. If he's BPA, I will not mind at all.

 

Do some research before riding a talent like Verrett off. I can name you five legitimate corners standing at 5'10 off the top of my head.

Love, Love, LOVE Jason Verrett. He's the 2nd best corner in this class imo, but really is my favorite. I also had him mocked to us with my first mock. If he's BPA, I'd run away with him. He's Asante Samuel but more physical and a better tackler imo.

 

Love Moncrief in the 2nd.

 

Dont really like Turner in the 3rd, bc imo its a huge reach. Almost like the Kugbila pick.

 

Love Lewis and Schofield to end the draft.

Tell me what corner other than Talib (this season) had not been eaten alive by Graham.

Just off the top of my head, Ty Law, Asante Samuel, Revis, Joe Haden, and Tramon Williams are all around 5'10-5'11.

This draft is going to be heavy on OT early. I feel that both a&m guys, Robinson, Lewan, and Erving go before us in round 1. I think we could get Tiny Richardson, but I don't think he hangs with NFL speed. Cyrus has those same question marks. Yankey, Martin, those guys are overrated and likely off the board by our round 2. Hurst, Juwan James, and Mewhort go before we pick in 3. If they don't those would be easy choices for round 3.

The reason that Tampa is probably going to part ways with Reavis is that they are going to play the Tampa two zone under Lovie and you don't need a big time shut down corner to play that system ($$$).  If we are playing the zone, then would we need to spend a first rounder on a shutdown corner?  Or one that thinks he is?

 

Don't think the kid is bad at all, but with our D, we need to spend the money with our front seven.  Just my opinion.

 

Find a very quick guy in the third and plug him in the rotation with all the youngsters we have right now

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I went to Canes games back in '04 & '05 when you were probably still a swimmer waiting to make your dad a father. There was no one there bc they sucked. Some of the lowest attendance in the NHL. As a Panthers fan coming off a SB season (03-04), I couldn't even believe they put a hockey team in Raleigh, and given the attendance, a lot of people speculated they would be relocated somewhere back up north where they would be supported and not "Mayberry." Seriously, educate youself.  That is reality. That being said, comparing that environment to 2024 Canes would be disingenuous. I was at PNC last year and know how great the current environment is. Comparing the current environment at BOA to 10 years ago is just as disingenuous.  Just bc you didn't witness how good BOA is when the Panthers are actually decent doesn't change reality. Seriously, surely you see that coming from such an elitist environment like the globally renowned world-class city of Raleigh, NC... I guarantee you if you went to a Canes game and a Panthers game in 2005, the difference would be unreal bc the Panthers were awesome and the Canes were (at the time) a moribund franchise. I have been in BOA when the whole stadium was rocking. You simply are young, don't know what you're talking about, but want to portray yourself as having knowledge about things you simply don't. You have a lot in common with modern day politicians and televangelists Like I said, Idiocracy has prevailed... Have a great day too!

      Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!
