Safety from Alabama

 

Is there any chance of us taking him with a late-round pick? Why I'm selfishly interested: He played at Marvin Ridge HS in Union County until his junior year and I know a LOT of people that know him. I saw him make 22 *straight* tackles in a high school game back in the day. He was a beast in high school and was great at Alabama too. His father is Sal Sunseri, former Panthers defensive line coach under John Fox and current defensive coordinator at Florida State.

 

But there are some big cons too: He tore his ACL in October and he's leaving school with a year left of eligibility against Nick Saban's advice/wishes. A little undersized, not great in man-to-man coverage. 

 

Strengths: Was very fast (hopefully will stay fast post-ACL, TD should prove you can even get faster though), incredible instincts, a ball-hawk, tremendous leadership and great defensive fundamentals.

 

There are a ton of people rooting for him in the Charlotte area.

    • Ideally Bryce and the other starters should get at least a full quarter and an argument could be made for 2 full quarters given how they've played early in the season the last few years.
    • A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.    
    • You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
