We got the 14 and the Jets got the pick before us. Richardson has turned out to be quite a pick and is just as dominant as Star. I remember that the thought was that if the Jets had picked Star that the Panthers weren't that high on Richardson and may have passed him over.I wonder if that did play out that way and we passed on him cause Star was gone, would we be ripping our GM a new butt hole? Say what you want about Rex, but he knows his defense and got a real player at 13. Star faded a bit towards the end of the season and that kicked him out of final consideration but had one hell of a rookie season.Richardson kicked ass and took names all 16 games and never faded.We got a great DT to anchor our line for many years to come....just glad that we didn't have to choose between Richardson and someone else at 14. Either of these two guys would have elevated the defense to the levels we saw last season.

I wasn't that high on Richardson for us, but he's excelled in Rex's 34. I'm trilled with Star and Short, don't think we could have drafted a better tandem.

As for who's better? Right now I'd go with Suh overall. There are some others but I would have to do some homework.

I feel we have an interior DL to envy for years to come.

Geno Atkins, Gerald McCoy, Vince Wilfork, Henry Melton, Haloti Ngata, Dontari Poe, Marcell Dareus, Kyle Williams, Jason Hatcher, and Ndomukong Suh are probably all better right now.

 

Within the next year, expect Star to jump into the top 8 or so, top 5 within two years. Atkins, Suh, McCoy, Melton, Dareus, Star, and Richardson are likely the perennials for the next like... 8 years or so. I expect Atkins, Suh, McCoy, Star, and Richardson to be the top 5 in a few years time.

GMan said he talked to another team after the draft that picked in the top 5 and Star was #2 overall on their draft board and they took their #1. GMan said he felt relief when the Raiders took Hayden because knowing Rex Ryan he just "had a feeling" they were going to take Richardson. When this happened the party was on and it continues. Make no mistake, Star was, is, and always will be, our guy.

Huddle GMs did all swear that Sheldon Richardson would be a total bust. Even calling Smitty an idiot when he was asked who he hoped the Panthers would draft and he said Sheldon Richardson.

Shockingly wrong!

I think Star is the best DT in the NFC South over Greald McCoy or the 2nd yr Saints guy who i cant name atm.

KK is top 4!

A long way from the Nick Haydens of the world at DT.

Like I mean we can spend so much time over analyzing to come up with ways that we think star is better than richardson or we can just save time with the understanding that we got a great player and who gives a poo whether or not a similarly productive player is better or not and carry on with our day like we really should

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      By TD alt · Posted

      I've really only begun to pay attention this week being that training camp is looming, so I was personally caught off guard by the fact that Nic Scourton remains unsigned. That's not necessarily bad news, but it's not necessarily good news either. Apparently it's a thing with this year's draft class. "Of the 32 players selected in the second-round, 30 remained unsigned and the clock is ticking. "Already we've seen one second-round pick hold out from the start of training camp with that player being Los Angeles Chargers' wide receiver Tre Harris. Harris did not report with the rest of the Chargers' rookies on Saturday due to his contract situation, a issue that could impact nearly every other team in the league. "For the Panthers, defensive end Nic Scourton is the player to watch for when rookies start showing back up to the team facilities next week. "The 51st overall pick is one of the 30 second-rounders who has yet to sign their rookie contract and the reason why is due to the other two that have actually signed. "Cleveland Browns' linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans' wide receiver Jayden Higgins each signed fully guaranteed contracts as the first and second players drafted in the second-round. Prior to this year, second-round picks never received a fully guaranteed deal, only players selected in the first-round." https://atozsports.com/nfl/carolina-panthers-news/panthers-nic-scourton-contract-second-round-pick-training-camp-hold-out-tre-harris/ So, I suppose we'll see what's what pretty soon. It's definitely something to monitor.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      overwhelming majority of kids in travel ball aren't getting scholarships though because most teams are rec caliber (and not watched by scouts)    and parents/leagues sort of helped create this system and narrative IMO where travel ball is now oversaturated and most of it is simply expensive rec ball.  is travel beneficial for some athletes to get more exposure? Sure. The ones travel actually existed for.   I still think travel has expanded entirely too broad at this stage......where they will now have 5 teams per year in your backyard area pending they can get parents to write those checks.   Ain't no scout ever laying eyes on 90%+ of the kids in travel ball at this stage of where it has morphed into.
