Jawuan James - OT - Tennessee

With the Panthers in dire need of two new tackles, I believe they may be taking a long look at Jawuan James to compete immediately for the starting right tackle position.

James fits the mold of a David Gettleman lineman 6'6" and 311 pounds. His frame could easily put on another 10 pounds by September. At Tennessee, James showed NFL caliber strength and speed as well as technique. James has the ability to head down field in search of second level defenders on run plays and scrambles.

Set a UT record for 49 games started by an offensive lineman, all at right tackle. His durability is unquestioned. His extensive experience at RT makes him a possible game 1 starter.

James is currently projected in rounds 3 or 4, which makes him a prime target for the Panthers late 3rd round pick.

^ Reach in the 2nd round? He was listed as a top 50 overall prospect by NFLN post draft. The reach would be in the first, although as a Vol I've said many times I would rather have him than Tiny Richardson.

Jawaun James would be a fantastic 2nd round pick if he's even on the board, but I simply can't wrap my brain around counting on rookies so heavily when the rest of the line is so mind-numbingly weak right now, and when even the best of rookies struggle out of the gate.

^If NFLN listed him as a top 50 prospect and he could be a legit day 1 starter and MAY be able to move to LT after a year or two, why is it a reach in the 2nd? Sounds like a steal to me.

PS-considering he was a RT at UT, I'd be content with that. Another Georgia boy to boot to piss off the stinky birds.

I of course know he is a rookie. But I agree that the team will benefit for all of the mentioned reasons, but I want to introduce a benefit that has not been discussed. Watching the video, this guy kinda puts you in the mindset of a Jordan Gross type guy. Gross did not miss many games, also came in as a day  starter. I am also looking at the athleticism that the guy has. The main things being was the video mentioning that when he spoke you listened, and his "goof-ball" way of acting will fit right in with the O-Line we have now.

      Panthers to work out UFL OPOY Hakeem Butler

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      Another source: NFL Rumors: Hakeem Butler to Visit Panthers After UFL Success, Wade Phillips' Praise ZACH BACHAR JUNE 10, 2024 The Carolina Panthers are expected to conduct a workout with UFL wide receiver Hakeem Butler, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Butler recorded a league-leading 652 receiving yards as a member of the St. Louis Battlehawks. He was previously a fourth-round draft pick by the Arizona Cardinals in 2019. After the Battlehawks were defeated by the San Antonio Brahmas in the XFL Conference title game, Brahmas head coach and longtime NFL coach Wade Phillips told the receiver that "I'm going to tell everybody in the NFL that I talk to that you need to be playing," via Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk. Despite the loss by St. Louis, Butler still hauled in six receptions for a team-high 59 receiving yards. The 28-year-old was named the 2024 UFL Offensive Player of the Year, as he was one of only two wideouts to have multiple games with at least 100 receiving yards. While the Panthers added Diontae Johnson and first-round rookie Xavier Legette to their wide receiver room in the offseason, they could still use some depth in the form of Butler. Carolina isn't opposed to picking up former UFL players, as Rapoport revealed on Thursday that the team is also "expected" to sign All-UFL receiver Daewood Davis. Although Butler was selected by the Cardinals in the 2019 draft, he did not play as a rookie due to a hand injury and only appeared in two regular-season games as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2020. He did not record a catch. Butler signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers during the 2023 offseason, although he ultimately didn't make the team's regular-season roster. At 6'5", he has the frame to potentially make an impact in training camp and earn a shot at making Carolina's 53-man roster. If his workout goes well with the Panthers, Butler could give himself another chance to possibly return to the NFL.

      They have all the rookies. The DC game has Ron though. With the new QB. It is weird.  pantherclaw, Bryce sort of is what he is, and in Madden he makes throws the real Bryce can’t make. Here and there. He ain’t ain’t a top QB in Madden though, lots of picks. aone of them lol was the throw that scares the hell out of me when he throws it, out to the boundary... quack quack.
