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

 

 

01/20/14 - 2014 SENIOR BOWL, WIDE RECEIVER: Arrow pointing down: Cody Hoffman, BYU...After recording 100 catches last year, Hoffman's production dropped in 2013 (57/894/5) as he battled injuries and inconsistencies. He has a tall, lean frame and will be too easily out-muscled by defensive backs and knocked off his route. Hoffman needs a strong week in Mobile. - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com

Like TRG said, you should post this as a thread in the main forum.

I actually have a tick about doing this kind of thing because I feel like I'm divulging team secrets,

Given that we only have one wide receiver under contract, I don't really feel what I'm saying is all that big. So I posted it in a thread there.

A full blown thread is too noticeable!

Hoffman's lack of explosiveness is his biggest issue.

He's a routes guy who has great hands and has looked absolutely combative getting off the line, where he has viciously used his hands off the line to get leverage. He has good size and an NFL build. I think he's a lo 2nd hi 3rd guy but I've only had time to go back and watch one of his games. He's someone I'll be watching.

He looked excellent Tuesday. I'm not at the south practice today unfortunately.

Zack Martin is just killin it!

Man will probably be the 3rd OT off the board.

Schofield was looking good too. He'd be a good value pick in the 5th or 6th if still there to replace Bell.

Mayock said he thinks he's strictly a RT so he doesn't have a ton of value but we would only need him to be a RT

Cyril Richardson has struggled, wonder where he'll fall in the draft

 

I really thought that Richardson was just as good as Jonathan Cooper who went no7 to Arizona last year. Not as athletic tho. But, he was being projected as a late 1st to early 2nd rounder.

 

Richardson struggled vs. speed this whole week which will probably make him a sure 2nd rounder now. I really though he was the best OG in this class, but if he doesnt improve his stock at the combine I could see two or three OGs going ahead of him: David Yankey, Xavier Su'a-Filo, Gabe Jackson.

 

Gabe Jackson has looked very good too. Massive guard that could have an impact like Warford this past season.

Yup he sure is. I think that he has already helped his stock bumping him into the 3rd or 4th.

      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.
