MHS831

Saying he had a good year last year is not crowning him. I think he learned from his mistakes, but most GMs are failures regarding the draft. I don't know why drafting players who can contribute is so difficult.

Stowers is a dark horse (from my perspective, anyway..not hearing as much about him as deserved--imo). I think we could go ILB here or there could be another edge to drop, but there are no Free agent TEs they want and the talent drops after Stowers. He should be there in round 2

We are going to draft Lomu OT (1st) and Stowers TE (2) in this draft.

We need an amphibious OT.

gonna go with 3 guards, I assume. I would say that Morgan is a Hurricane and there is a Hurricane LT , but we cant reach him. I was OK knowing Nijman might be back. BC? will not be ready for camp or first of season. I think we keep Tremble if for no other reason than to help whoever we have out there. It is starting to look a lot like rookie, everywhere you turn.

It is asking a lot. Please don't put Forsythe out there. If so, I am buying life insurance for Bryce and making myself the beneficiary.

Must be about money. They have a QB on a rookie deal and are cap-strapped. Yikes.

I think they might trade up if they can, if they fall in love with one guy, but if you are OK with Lomu and Proctor (I am), then if Freeling is gone, I sit and wait. If we trade up, we likely lose our Will ILB or Center of the future.

That is the key--however, as it looks right now, we have to take LT. That could change, and I am sure Morgan is working on it.

He had a great draft last year.

THIS JUST IN: Panthers re-signed Mitchell. Discuss.

We got Jake from the Saints and I was fine, but I hated the Roman Harper move.

I get it. He has gotten better running routes, but he is just out of position as a WR so often. Are his routes consistent? I still think he could start getting it, but the light is dimming.

very possible--we should hope that he does not, tbh.

Metchie had a great year when Bryce won the heisman. He gives the Panthers some deep options. He does not have to catch passes if he can keep the safeties honest, but I expect him to post his highest numbers here. I imagine he is signing for vet min, and probably was coerced by Bryce. I have not given up on XL like some here, but I am frustrated and pissed off about his play. I now doubt we draft a WR, but there are so many uncertainties (Coker's health, XL's play, Metchie, etc).

Solid depth. I remember watching and asking, "who the heck is that?"

I don't see this WR on 1-year deal causing us to cut a first round pick that we drafted with knowledge that he was very raw. On any WR corps, there is always one guy who is injured. Tremayne may be the odd man out--PS until needed. TMAC, Coker, XL, Metchie, Horn, Tremayne I think our draft intentions are becoming more clear. T, S, DT, LB, TE, C. Heard it here first.

Stowers 45" vert

Here is my gut: They could draft, in round 2, Stowers from Vandy If not, watch Jolly from NC State.

A bit long in the tooth (31) but he can play and there is not a huge market for him---I am guessing 5 million.

fine with me. @$10m per, not sure of the value.

I could argue (not knowing if I am right or not) that the fact that we have not used the TE much is based on talent, not strategy. We ran some multiple TE sets last year to improve the run game (which is why I am Skeptical that Tremble is cut) but we need a threat that can block

Damn you for tainting these holy grounds!!

I think we will draft a C who will play a reserve roll for part of the year if not the entire season. I think Kalil did that. It has been long overdue. Our guards are in their primes and we have a need at LT and a 32-year old RT. If we draft 2 eventual starters at C and T, we can start replacing the Guards and RT in the next two drafts--Since I do not see the C being drafted before the third round, I think this was Morgan's best move, considering how limited he was (cap, talent), on a smaller scale. Lloyd is next. That was a surprisingly good deal, imo.

Curious indeed. We have to be eyeballing a C in the draft (guessing third round).
