There a couple guys that may fall in the draft due to injuries. Would one of these guys be worth stashing on the roster?

 

Brandon Thomas OL Clemson  ACL

Anthony Sheen OL Alabama  Torn Labrum 

James Hurst OL UNC  Broken Fibula (Non displaced which makes rehab very straight forward)

Vinnie Sunseri S Alabama  ACL but ran a 4.48 at pro day

Brent Urban DL Virginia  High ankle sprain 

 

I think it would be worth stashing someone if we can get them in later rounds..... after 4th round and they have starting potential

In Brandon Thomas, you might want to look at very late.  He can probably start in 2015, but remember he just got injured a couple weeks ago, so he could still have trouble being effective in the 2015.  I look at someone like SF, who has a dozen picks to be able to take a flyer on several guys

 

Steen and Hursts' injuries are less severe and could contribute this coming season.

 

Would not guess where we might want to take these guys

 

Would not waste a pick on the last two guys, that is just me however.

Rich are getting richer! Luckily this year draft is pretty unique with a lot of depth at QB, WR, OT, CB, LB, OG,..etc. With the help of the coaches, scouts, & Gettleman we should get quality players from all 7 rounds.

i would not be opposed to taking Hurst, or Thomas in the 4th or 5th round. Hurst expectations would be to compete for a starting spot on the OL, while the panthers could give Thomas the Kugbila treatment of sitting on IR for a year, so he could get healthy.

This almost reeks of Hurney, except he drafted players on the operating table too early (Stewart in the first, Hogan in the fourth)

 

Brandon Thomas:  I never understood why a personal workout was necessary.  They have hours of game film, the combine, and the pro day.  Still, I would consider him in the fifth round.

 

I would celebrate if we took Hurst in the third round.

I want Hurst and Sunseri...badly.

 

I read scouting reports on Sunseri trying to see why some Huddlers mention him so much (other than the obvious), and I wasn't blown away by what I was reading. 

 

He may be worth a look in a late round.

I would add Antone Exum, CB, Virginia Tech, to that list (ACL).

I like Thomas, Sheen, and Hurst very much.  If they're still sitting their in the 5th-6th round, take'em IMO.  I think Sunseri is a pretty smart player too and wouldn't have my feelings hurt if we spent a 7th on him.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      We won't know the answer to this for a long time. Reality is, Caleb has been the consensus #1 in that draft for years. Bryce was a similar situation, but mostly the same. He was not the clear and obvious #1 that Caleb was, but most teams had Bryce at QB1. The Panthers were always going to be terrible Bryce's rookie year.  I don't think DJ Moore's presence would have changed anything about that offense, as our guards, center, and left tackle were getting demolished on nearly every snap. It's clear Caleb's dad was trying to do everything possible to ensure Caleb didn't end up in Chicago with Eberflus. It's hard to imagine that he wouldn't have done the same, but probably more publicly with our situation, considering Carolina is an easier target for the media than Chicago. We can all speculate, but it's impossible to tell who is going to have the better career on May 16, 2025. If either QB doesn't pan out, we have an easy answer. If both flame out, the bears clearly won the trade, but it wouldn't have really mattered anyway. We all know how we win the trade. Candidly, even if one of the other picks we gave up ends up being a hall of fame player, we don't know if the panthers would have taken that player anyway. All you can do is make the best decision you can in the moment with the information you have. I really like Bryce Young, and I'm glad he's a Carolina Panther.  The only way to win in the modern NFL is to have an absolute dude at QB. I personally am happy that our franchise recognizes this, as I remember times when they did not.
