I know we have at least one Vols fan in the huddle. Is there someone that can give a good breakdown on Antonio Richardson that has followed his career?

Fantastic size (6'6 330 something) very long arms (35 inches) and strong as an ox (36 reps at the combine). A few scouting reports mention him getting bull rushed by clowney this year (but, hell, clowney is a monster) but also says he is quite efficient at run and pass blocking. UT had five 200 yard rushers this year which is inspiring.

I'm all aboard on BPA whether it's WR, CB, OL. So for all those who know more more than the cliffs notes version of what I've found, I'd love to know if Richardson is worth the 28th pick.

Richardson wasn't getting bulled around by clowney, he had a hard time getting his hands on him at times, clowney was too quick

 

I was wondering about that same scouting report, and this makes more sense. I didn't see the game but given their sizes, I have a hard time imagining Clowney bull rushing Richardson.

In my opinion, Richardson is probably the only legitimate option at 28 to get a day 1 starter at LT for the Panthers. I would prefer to let him start on the right side his first year and sign a free agent left tackle.

Lewan, Robinson and Mathews will be gone by 28. If any of those three are still there we need to fly up to the podium.

Honestly if Richardson is gone along with the other tackle options I would prefer us going BPA. Use our pick to get a game changing receiver before the non playoff team in the second round gobble up the play makers.

You guys need to see this. Richardson has knee issues.

Yeah, i seen that when they reported on Cyrus Ks knee problem. he could take a hard fall down the draft as well.

 

That's why I believe that we will use the first pick on something else other than offensive tackle.  I'm thinking that G-man will address that in FA.

 

Someone will still probably snap up Richardson in the second (depending), but I would rather have James in the third, but he may not last that long.

      I did not, this reminds me of another live action type video game that never made it and has a huge cult following. Thanks for the 90s nostalgia frend!! My gods do I miss that era at USAs peak and it was my best on many aspects too.

      Many layers my frend- Panthers had a draft recently. They picked 4 defense players. Each player picked 11, 22, 33, 55 as their number. For some players that number match the round or pre-draft round rank, example- Prince was a 3rd rounder and choose 33. Nic was a 1st rounder on some mock drafts and Dan Morgan said they had him as a 1st, he picked 11. Cam Jackson recently switched his number to 55, same as draft and has been telling Dave he wants to be special over and over.  The 44 was to add GOAT feels, thoughts, and more intrigue to this rookie phenomenon. X files cause it was a great TV show and maybe it was playing when this theory came together.......   I hope this helps!

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      The best things Purdy has are certainly important tools for any QB. His accuracy his timing his decision making etc. I feel like he is a high end Teddy Bridgewater. You can compete and win in the regular season with this especially in a weakened NFC but where his limitations come into focus is when you are trying to contend for a Super Bowl you are going against elite and in some instances generational QB's like Mahomes. And when the time has come for him to go up against Mahomes he simply can't get it done. Now certainly he is not alone in that regard and people will point to another highly regarded QB such as Josh Allen who also cannot get by Mahomes. But the difference I see is Allen is not IMO at a phsyical disadvantage in that matchup whereas Purdy is. And that is with what had been to this point a comically stacked roster around Purdy and let's be clear we cannot understate that regardless of which side of the fence we land on in this debate. Purdy has had a top 5 roster and a top 5 coach. And the last time they went to the Super Bowl they leaned on McCaffrey extremely heavily. Now with what they are having to pay him and divert limited resources elsewhere they face a steep climb to get back to the Super Bowl let alone actually win it.
