Better Know a Prospect - Jared Abbrederis

[Catalyst]

4th round? Not likely. He may go in the 2nd, certainly in the 3rd. We may luck out and get in the 3rd, but you never know with the draft. Who thought we'd get Star at 14 last year? Some teams draft dumb.

Great word to describe Abbrederis.  He is a student of the game and runs some of the best routes of any WR in this draft.  Guy just flat out gets open and makes plays.

 

I would LOVE to get him in this draft.

 

This makes sense given Gettleman's comments about what he looks for in a WR prospect in terms of being able to run routes.

the dude makes DB's look stupid on a regular basis.

 

technician was a great word to describe him

[Catalyst]

I think a 'technician' is exactly what we're looking for. Anyone know which WR prospects fit this description other than Abberderis?

[Catalyst]

If we draft this guy Zod's going to have to invest in auto-correct software for the forum.

[carolina-chuck]

Like him. Would take him in the 3rd.

An option at WR in a later round would be the kid from Wake Forest (Campanaro ?)  I'm sure Ricky has scouted this guy and knows he's a worker and tough as nails.  Worth a look..............

Me too!

I think our first 3 picks could be day 1 starters. That isn't ideal but that is the type of cap hell we are in.

With this deep draft and our needs we absolutely need 3 starters. I heard Mayock say a team could possibly get 4 out of this draft class.

Ricky would great for coaching this guy up. how fast is he?

 

4.50 flat at the combine.  Plenty fast enough.  Those double moves are just nasty.  LOL @ one of his major weaknesses being listed as "muscle definition".  Are we talking about football or body building?

I made it clear that I was not sure what the situation was--great catch!

 

sorry.  Didn't realize how dickish that came across till I re-read it.  Sorry about that.

No problem--you were on a phone.  Thanks for clearing it up.  No big deal

Yeah I can see that materialize.

A wideout, tackle ,cornerback in the 3rd round or later and potentially another pass catcher or lineman. I would prefer our offensive line and receivers be drafted in the first three rounds. I think our front seven can keep an opponents receiving core from torching a 4th round corner.

As a Michigan State, and Big Ten fan. I can tell you the kid can play the WR position. He just has a knack for getting open. He rarely takes a big hit. He can get yards after the catch. He can also fill in as a Returner if needed. The kid really has it going on.

If he were faster, he would be rated higher. Which for us, is good. He just may still be there in the 3rd. I would take him. And that almost hurt to say.

Because you made this about race it changes the dynamic of this thread.

Maybe you didn't understand the dynamics of my post so I will elaborate. I simply pointed out how lucky the Panthers were to get Cam and Luke because of preconceived notion on players.

Yeah Cam was number one overall but many analyst wanted us to grab Gabbert. Sooo typical. Luke was supposedly a reach when he was the best defensive player of the draft. He is smarter and more athletic than most linebackers in the NFL.

While I do not think Jared will be the best receiver in the draft. I think he is severely underrated, and to ignore the reason why would be an injustice to the great player he will be.

Cam and Luke continue to shove it in NFL scouts face and I hope we can sneak and get Jared in the 3rd so he can do the same. I think he could be a major contributor for the Panthers.
