Pro scouts are saying this years 2023 TE NFL Draft Class is the best this year since 2019 and as many as 5 picks could go in the first 2 rds..

Lindy's Sports Pro Football has him number 41 out of the whole top 100 in the draft. Right about where the Panthers will be picking at # 39 in the 2nd rd..

I really like TE Bill Musgrave Oregan state 6-6 250 4.56 40 Prospect Summary Luke Musgrave NFL Draft Scouting Report TE, Oregon State Beavers Tight end Luke Musgrave was a consensus three-star recruit and top-five-rated player in the state of Oregon. He spent time in high school at the defensive end and wide receiver positions in addition to tight end. Musgrave was a multi-sport athlete. Along with football, he participated in, lacrosse, ski racing, and track. This provides context to the plus athleticism that Musgrave possesses. NFL football runs through Musgrave’s bloodline. His uncle, Bill Musgrave, is the current offensive coordinator for the Denver Broncos. Also, he played quarterback in the NFL from 1991-1998 for multiple teams. Musgrave brings a big, athletic option in the passing game to an offense. Musgrave is alignment-fluid and versatile. If your offense wants to place him in-line as a traditional Y-tight end or split him into the slot, he can operate both well. As a pass-catcher, Musgrave has secure and reliable hands. He tracks the ball well and attacks it at the highest point. He is an adequate route-runner. He is at his best threatening vertically up the seams or across the field on benders (over route). If unimpeded, Musgrave’s speed can become a problem for linebackers. In the run game, he is a competitive blocker that gives maximum effort. Musgrave is more of a wall-off and seal blocker than a displacer. He does a good job using the defender’s momentum against them to cut them off from the ball carrier. As a result, he sells blocks well on TE leak or delay calls, allowing him to sneak past second and even third-level defenders downfield. Musgrave is a tremendous athlete and should test well this draft season. I do not see an overly explosive player on the field. He gallops and needs free releases to hit that top gear. When faced with physical coverage and resistance, Musgrave struggled to create separation on his routes. He does not play through contact well enough during his route stems. He can be impeded and slowed down if defenders can get their hands on him early in routes. His average play strength shows up in blocking sequences. Musgrave is not a uber-physical blocker—do not expect him to displace defenders. Also, he attempts to engage blocks with high hips and pad level. This limits his overall effectiveness as a man or gap scheme run blocker. Although Musgrave is versatile to align inline or detached, I believe his best reps come when he is in-line. As an NFL tight end, I envision Musgrave as a TE2 early in his career with the potential to develop into a starter. His value in the red zone is enticing. He can operate out of 12-personnel packages with two tight ends that can either use the pass or run game to move the football. Musgrave can stand to improve his play strength and defeat physical coverage quicker since time in the NFL is shorter for quarterbacks. Top Reasons to Buy In: An exciting blend of size and athleticism Developmental upside Seam and red-zone threat

Bingo!!! I loved Olsen and Shockey when they paired up back in the day. Now that was a duo for the ages. However, it is often hard to find one really good TE, must less two.

So it would seem.

If you ordered a Burger and Beer, Tepper would probably join you and order the same.

In order to come across as honest and not a fake person, I would order the same thing I normally order. If I am a highly rated draft choice they will have already researched me and probably know all my habits and desires, eating included.

I fully agree. With a little good fortune, I could easy see the Panthers having a 9-8 record this year and winning the NFC South.

Maybe late in the draft but there is to many needs that should be addressed with the earlier selections.

Boston College WR Zay Flowers is rated one of the top 5 WR's in the 2023 NFL Draft, so he may or may not still be there wen the Panthers pick 39th in the 2nd rd..

DJ CHARK @djchark82

Yes, that is probably the reason.

Chark's injury history is also a big concern to me. I suppose we will have to keep our fingers crossed and hope that the bad luck will play out and take a positive turn, if that happens he could be special..

It seems almost unreal that the Panthers, after getting rid of the 2 best RB's and # 1 WR, they have now added the elite WR C.J. Chark, along with RB Miles Sanders, TE Hayden Hurst, Backup QB Andy Dalton, Center Bradley Bozeman and an elite looking coaching staff.

With chark being the new #1 WR, my guess is the Panthers go Edge Rusher or best player available, depending who is there when they pick.

I will gladly take group # 2 in a heartbeat. They are a good looking group of skilled players that should really elevate the Panthers.

I am not sure what the ceiling for Will Levis will be but glad the Panthers will not be selecting him to find out.

Thank vey much!!

Aside from all 3 playing at Ohio State ,I don't think Haskins or Fields are good players to compare D.J. Stroud with. I saw Haskins play very decently beating the Panthers in Charlotte, when he was with Washington and had his head on straight at the time.. #1: Haskins had the physical skills to succeed but his character issues, drug problems, etc., things that Stroud doesn't have was his down fall. #2: NFL scouts were critical of Fields when he played at Ohio State for his lack of great accuracy, something Stroud excels in.. #3: To sum it up, Stroud's pinpoint accuracy and solid character, elevates him above Haskins and Fields, making him worthy of being the #1 Overall Selection in the 2023 NFL Draft, in my opinion..

My goodness !!! Knowing how fast those gators run, can you imagine being on the other side of that fence and that it being hungry.

People can say or post all they want about how Bryce Young didn't get hurt in college but the NFL is different and due to his size, and I really hope I'm wrong because it's possible the Panthers could draft Young, I feel he will be highly subject to injury.

An 8 foot alligator could really put a hurting on a person.

I love Civil War relics and would have liked to have seen the treasures you found. Lucky you!!!

Grady my be a Dick (pun intended) but that dude can shoot the ball.

To Bryce Youngs next new home? Hardly!!!
