*Slightly Panthers Related* Arizona Pro Day

Since its the offseason and were tired of all the steve smith and captain munnerlyn threads, I figured I would share my Arizona Pro Day experience yesterday. not sure how many huddlers have been to a Pro Day but it was pretty cool to just see the process and know that alot of NFL teams are among you. It was only open to families of players but I was with my roommate who is linebacker Jake Fischer's little brother so i was able to get in. Apparently there were reps from 25 teams including the entire Cardinals coaching staff. I spotted at least two people wearing Panthers attire, but i'm not sure if they were looking at any specific players or were just being there because they could be. The main attraction was obviously Ka'deem Carey, who ran a 4.69 40 time but other than that had a pretty good looking workout. His 40 time is honestly the only thing keeping him out of the first round. The guy that stole the show was Marquis Flowers whos an outside linebacker but might be able to move to strong safety. He's currently not projected to be drafted, but maybe his workout could move him up. He ran a 4.50 40, put up 24 on the bench, and measured 6'3 233. I wont be naive and say he's the next Kam Chancellor, but he certainly has the same measurable and body to remind you alot of him. If we arent able to re-sign Mikell, Flowers would be an interesting player to draft as a project

That's cool that you got to see that. Would love to be a part of that.

We will need an OLB sooner than later and really good ones are hard to find. Haven't heard of this kid but sounds like a good prospect. I'll look at his vids and post what I find.

He could honestly be a huge steal at safety. Like i said same size and measurables as Kam Chancellor and was also an Army All American in high school as a safety. Definitely worth a look

I read that the Panthers had representatives at Auburn's Pro Day.   I don't know who they would have been looking at.  Robinson will be gone in the top 10.  Only other players creating any buzz at all are Dee Ford (DE),   Tre Mason (RB) and Chris Davis (CB).  Dee Ford saw his stock drop at the combine.   I don't see a need for Tre Mason.   Maybe Chris Davis in a late round.

    • I think you mean relevant but they have been fine, the problem is the lack of in game adjustments.  He has also been just decent at recruiting.  Duke having tons of success hurts and just fine isn’t good enough at UNC.  
    • I don't see it as drafting a premium player to sit and wait if Walker gets hurt. We need a legitimate swing T. Unless you have a Sewell or Slater type tackle that is pretty much a sure thing, these guys can need some time to develop year 1 just like a QB ideally should. They all haven't played the elite 5 star talent on the edge. If we think another franchise tackle has dropped to us at 19, you have to pull the trigger. The position is just too damn hard to find. If it's just a "we need a tackle and this guy has a T on the board", yeah, move on, take one in the later rounds. But if that guy is there, let him back up and learn a year, then slide him into LT on year 2 of his rookie deal.  I don't see us being able to offer Walker a multi year contract after a prove it year, pay Moton his final almost fully guaranteed year, Hunt, Lewis a center and do a 50-60m extension for Bryce. The 3 most important positions on the field are QB, blindside tackle (usually LT), and edge rusher. Those are the premium positions that cost the most and are hardest to come by. If a starting caliber talent is there at 19 you have to pull the trigger.  I understand the need for a DT and S. I've been on the C and FS train for years. If we weren't staring at a potential Bryce extension, it'd make the decision a lot easier I think. It's just with all these huge contracts I don't see how we can hedge our bets on being able or even wanting to re-sign Walker, especially if he has a bad year. Icky and BC's injuries really hurt our long term plans.  If no blue chip talent at those 3 key positions are available at 19, by all means pass and draft another position. But I think it's pretty safe to say we don't have a guaranteed lock at any of them right now beyond Phillips, and they have to be somewhat of a priority. 
    • Not completely accurate. I'm sure Roy is lobbying for him and Larry Brown has spoke put in support too. But Hansbrough has made comments pretty critical and hinting at a need for change. Joel Berry has gone a step further and said the standard has not been met. Scott Williams who was a teammate of Hubert's at Carolina has gone all the way and said it's time for a change at head coach.
