Ryan Fowler: Panthers hosting Texas A&M Shemar Stewart
LinvilleGorge replied to TheSpecialJuan's topic in Carolina Panthers
Yeah, loved Morgan as a player but our front office decisions since he's been here have been... well, oh wee mayne -
Honestly, this move "working out" would probably mean he secures a spot on the PS for a year or two while we try to turn him into a football player.

I'm fine with it. It probably won't work but whatever. It's all potential reward virtually zero risk.

Panthers bring in DT Walter Nolen for 30-visit
LinvilleGorge replied to TheSpecialJuan's topic in Carolina Panthers
Odds are that one of these two busts. Seems like anytime there's two DL on the same draft out of the same school it turns out that one was the real deal and the other one was riding his coattails. -

Oh, the odds of this organization fuging up anything is always a pretty safe bet. LOL -

Just don't be the least bit surprised when it fails because all those other stops along the way were probably thinking that same thing. It's the hot girl mugshot mentality. "I can fix her" they all say. LOL -

6 schools in 7 years or whatever it is for a guy with his talent level is one helluva red flag though. When problems keep following you around you'll probably find the real problem in the mirror. At the end of the day, wherever you go there you are. -

I mean, NTs are already basically a unicorn. You're looking for a guy who is big enough and strong enough to hold up snap after snap with two 300+ pound NFL athlete technically proficient people movers trying desperately to move you off that spot. That is a HARD guy to find that can hold his ground snap after snap in those scenarios. It's the trade off of the 3-4. Teams love it because it puts more speed on the field and 3-4 OLBs are easier to find than 4-3 DEs but that NT is a hard spot to fill. -

There's a reason why prototypes exist. It obviously doesn't mean that someone who doesn't fit can't succeed but it's going to be harder to pull off. But yeah, if I'm looking for a NT I'm ideally looking for someone built like Vince Wilfork not Shy Turtle's 6'3" 300. That's fine for a three tech if you have quickness and burst but man, it's gonna be HARD to hold it down at the nose at that size and we saw that play out last year. -

Yet Evero seems to like lighter, more mobile NTs. Sure, if you can find a lighter, quicker NT who can still hold up to double teams that's awesome but that seems like looking for a unicorn. -

I'm still shocked the Steelers were dumb enough to take Kenny fuging Pickett in the 1st round. Holy poo that dude is trash. I ain't never in my life seen a QB get thrown by the ball until Kenny Pickett did that poo. LOLOLOL -

Oh wee mayne. Yeah, I'd just cross him off my draft board. -

LinvilleGorge replied to raleigh-panther's topic in Carolina Panthers
I mean, we basically fug up everything. Most of the guys we draft are as good as they're ever going to be on draft day. We've been both terrible at drafting and terrible at player development for years now. -

The difference is that everyone knows that Schwesinger projects as an off ball LB where as most think Walker can be an EDGE. He did both at UGA. Hell, I wouldn't be opposed to to drafting Walker at 8 and Schwesinger at 57 if he's there. -

LinvilleGorge replied to TheSpecialJuan's topic in Carolina Panthers
He could. IMO he's a lot more likely to follow the path of most workout warriors who didn't produce in college. -

And that's not factoring in the "daddy factor" complication. You know Deion is gonna be sticking his nose in if things aren't going according to his plan. So you have to both fall in love with the (IMO) marginal prospect and deal with the helicopter dad with a huge microphone. Yeah, that'd be a hard pass from me. -

I could definitely see several OTs going high. Yeah, I just never got the hype with Sanders as an NFL prospect. Good college QB there just wasn't anything about his traits and not much about his game that I saw translating to the NFL. He just looks like the classic "good college player who doesn't translate to the NFL" IMO. -

The OTs and Sanders are the big wildcards IMO. -

Well, there's always the chance that Walker goes before us. I don't expect it but I wouldn't be completely shocked either. -

My clued in Giants fan Buddy says #3 is Carter's floor. If he's there they're taking him. -
Every draft we have people talking about how all the guys worth picking will be gone and how none of these guys are special, blah, blah, blah. Meanwhile, history says that there will be hall of famers drafted after pick #8 this year.

One FG in the last 11 minutes is a crazy stat.

You only have 30 official prospect visits to use. -
If he's just a rotational player then we massively overpaid him.
