If Founette is not there, we need to take a very long look at Foster.  I pretty much consider Shaq Thompson to be a bust.  He looks small out there and to be frank, he plays small.  I know it's only his second year, but considering we traded up to get him, I demand to see more out of him.  To this day, I still don't know why we traded up for him, especially a guy who many NFL teams wanted to draft as a running back.

There are no such questions surrounding Foster.  He has the size and amazingly enough, he has unreal speed.  Not only is he good in run coverage and blitzing, but he is a very good coverage guy.  It might not be a sexy pick, but Foster is well worth a top ten choice in the draft.  With it, we will have our best trio at linebacker since the days of Kevin Greene, Lamar Lathon, and Sam Mills.  Foster will also be TD's true replacement.

How the fug is Shaq a bust? Lulz...

The Huddle continues to drop in IQ. Wow.

I haven't exactly seen him shining out there.  If you're a starter, I should be seeing a better impact on the field.  Shaq has zero impact.

Shaq shut down Larry Fitzgerald as a rookie in the NFCCG and is a bonafide stud.  He's a first rounder in any redraft and a young cornerstone of this franchise.  He was our BEST player the last time we actually took the field in Tampa, a game we somehow (thankfully for draft position) lost, helped in large part by the fact our all world TE fell down, on purpose or not.  I could go on, but I won't.  DUMB thread.

Foster has had a tendency to pick up concussions while playing with Bama.

We have enough problems with concussions on our team, we don't need to be drafting more.

While I can get on board with Foster being considered, your damning of Shaq is unfounded.

Shaq is an asset to this team, will be more so in the future and is very similar to TD when he came in. Both were drafted as safety/LB tweeners and both started on the slowish side.

First 2 years:
TD:
128 tackles
3 sacks

Shaq:
106 tackles
1 sack
1 int

Foster is a legit contender. He is a force at LB. Much like when we drafted Luke with Beason still here, it could happen. If it did, I would not question it.

But to call Shaq a bust is silly.

Then you're a dumbass.

He's graded out positively for his coverage skills since his rookie campaign and he clearly made an impact when Kuechly went down...

But hey, whatever to bash the pick and support your fandom for Foster, right? That's been the narrative around here lately.

I mean, do some of you even watch the games? You bandwagon fans give yourselves away too easily.


Likeworthy... harsh, but......


Yep

      REPORT: Panthers attempting to move up in the 2nd round

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This would be the best option a future 2nd and 57 maybe. We’d still have ammo for this draft and you never know what capital we may acquire for next years draft. But getting EZ would really add some juice to our draft a top 3/4 Edge the top WR or at least top 1/2 WR seems like a good haul after two rounds of the draft. This isn’t close to a Brooks dislike last year and dam it sometimes you roll the dice you hit some you crap out some. But not trying or sitting and waiting isn’t going to get us our second impact player and we need 2 to 3 out of this draft to continue to build on where we need to be to contend with all teams.

      You know when I won't be happy about this pick? When it completely ruins my fantasy draft this year, hahahahaha. We do an auction draft and while I have the most historical success in our league (same group of guys for about 15 years now), my one flaw is that I have a real hard time not overpaying for the guys I have a soft spot for and our league has gotten good at getting me to over bid on them to get them. I'm so screwed this year, I'm going to have to put a very hard cap on my budget for T-Mac and not allow myself to bid a dollar over it.  I've already made the determination that he's going to be the first player I nominate this year so I can get it out of the way early and don't sit on budget waiting for him only to over pay or not get him in the end.

      Round 1 - Panthers Select Tetairoa McMillan at Pick 8

      By CPcavedweller · Posted

      Right. You want a quick hitting offense to receivers who can get open. The personnel around Bryce would be much better suited to a power run game and deep play action which would, unironically, be better suited to a guy like Sam Darnold.    Unless we draft another Theilen like guy later on, I truly don’t get it.    I still want Skattebo though. Have a feeling I won’t get that wish either.
