Growl's Senior Bowl South Practice Thread

Nfl draft scout has 4.56 as his 40 time. 4.45 is his low, if he can come and run that at the combine then he may surprise everyone and go late second, early third. But I'm guessing he'll be alot closer to 4.56 than 4.45

 

for sure i just think comparing his speed to anquan boldin is a little of the mark. But this guy has unbelievable body control and hands.

Wasn't comparing his speed to Anquan. Said in the link he can create seperation by being physical like Anquan. Said Hoffman knows how to get away with some of the little things.

look at the top 2 plays unreal

 

 

I love those "full game" videos.  So much better for the big picture than just watching highlight reels.

 

What i can see here...

 

Positives: Great height, awesome hands, good body control and strong focus (the falling down catch was amazing), knows how to use his body to shield defenders from the ball

 

Concerns: He's a tad lean (only 210 at 6'4), I'd want to see him put on some muscle, and then you've gotta see how that affects his game, kinda disappeared in the second half of that GT game

 

Overall: Definitely worth a look, guy with a frame like that could potentially be developed into a serious red zone threat, and many have said Newton needs taller receiving options

3rd round would be good a good place to grab him if he's still there. That catch against GT was insane.

i think he should go around the 2nd round, but i read some where that scouts do in fact like him a lot. another OT i have been watching cut ups of is Cameron Fleming from Stanford.

He's a guy who I've liked for a while too, but I haven't heard any projection on where he would go. Would be a perfect RT

    • 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. 
    • 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.
