Delaire was cut by the Bucs and proceeded to sack them twice the following week, not the best example since he's been quiet recently but your conclusion isn't a really good one...

Let's not compare the Bucs with the Pats.

The point was that if the Pats didn't think he can contribute to one of the worst CB situations in the NFL then it would be surprising if he had anything to offer for us.

Apparently we also worked out Bradley Fletcher who is so bad that I'd rather have Finnegan instead and Robert McClain who is mildly decent. I'd take McClain, but really is probably rather use the roster spot on OL depth unless Peanut's injury is much worse than they are letting on.

If this doesn't show anything else it shows our FO is dedicated to winning... not many 11-0 teams would be working out players the day after destroying "America's Team".

Actually, all teams work out players about every week of the season.

I don't get that. I know I remember it being said that Shaq was drafted to play the nickel

That is the big nickel package that Shaq has played in.

I have a feeling the Panthers need a dime as they will see teams continually spread them out to get one on one match ups with their 4th and 5th receiver. Not so much the nickel.

Teams are going to force the Panthers to spread out with 4 to 5 receivers and roll the dice on a big play. The Panthers have made it difficult, but they can be beat with the slot going out and up the sideline. Luke, Davis, Jones, and Shaq have all been beat with that route.

Not sure why they do not go to Teddy Williams.

Here is an idea. Sign Carrington Byndom back from the Cardinals PS and put him on the active roster. Not only do you get a CB who can cover and special teams player who knows our system and communication, but you get a head start on everything he has learned from them over the past month.

    • I think is overstating things on our O that should be said if we are going to position the convo as a make it or break it thing for Bryce.  I consider this year 2 for him and you often see regression year 2.  AT is not in reality a top 10 slot WR.   We force feed a vet WR in the slot that can catch.  Which generates statistics for AT.  He is more savvy rec TE at this stage than anything.  We just drafted TMac.  You can't really count him as anything except for a promising young WR that is about to have a rookie season.  XL is on the development train. 2 promising young WRs that both are going to have to grow into legit NFL WRs.  TEs are presently a below average group.  RBs are in reality are probably a pretty average group in reality.  Where we currently stand out IMO is our OL talent.  
    • Overall I'm happy. We've never drafted a receiver this high and that's probably a big part of the reason why we've only had one elite tier level WR in franchise history. Scourton looked like top 10 pick material playing at a lighter weight then bulking up hurt his sack number while he overall still played well. We're going to play him at the lighter weight. Princely is a guy a lot of folks were hot or cold on. Hopefully the hot folks were right. But he has NFL measurables, had double digit sacks last year, and most importantly to me he showed steady progression as a player throughout his college career. The arrow is pointing up. Etienne surprised me. I wasn't expecting us to go RB this early but I think he's a solid compliment to Chuba and most of us expected us to draft a RB at some point in the mid to late rounds so it's not shocking. I don't love the Ransom pick simply because he's not the type of safety I wanted us to draft. I wanted us to draft a deep coverage specialist. But, that's the type of safety the Panthers have never seemed to value and it doesn't seem like anything has changed there. It is what it is. I didn't expect us to wait this long to add a DT in this strong DT draft but Cam Jackson was a guy we showed a lot of interest in throughout the pre-draft process so this clearly wasn't a panic move with DTs flying off the board. This is a guy we liked all along. Mitchell Evans is a well rounded TE that probably projects as an NFL backup which is fine at this point in the draft. Like Etienne, he's another guy with an elite 10 yard split time. What he lacks in downfield ability he makes up for in initial suddenness. That can end up being a lot more important on a football field than deep speed. Horn seems like a guy added at least as much for his return ability as his receiving ability. I like that for a late round pick. It gives a guy multiple paths to making the roster.
