Lol, not at you so much but that notion of player X will never be there or 40 guys who will be first rounders.

It's just funny that every thread on a prospect has at least one of each of these:

1. He'll be gone before we pick, so it doesn't matter.
2. He's better than the other 3 players ranked higher. I like him the best and we should pick him.
3. I don't like him at all, he'd be a horrible pick.

Yeah the Huddle's like that. There are a ton of good prospects I like at 40 who'll be there. Watt just happens to be one that I think goes late first or very early 2nd.

I can see TJ Watt transitioning to become a 4-3 end after a year or two of strength and conditioning, to fill out his frame. TJ has a great combination of explosiveness and bend that few edge players have in this draft. If you take a look at his draft profile, you'll see that he excelled in multiple areas and is a great athlete as indicated by his 6.79 3-Cone time which ranks him second among LBs and DEs.

One quote shows NFL teams think TJ Watt can play 4-3 end. "He looked a lot stronger and a lot more confident on tape this year. He needs to get bigger, but he's already a strong guy. I can see him standing or playing base end for a 4-3 team. He's going to keep getting better." -- Midwest area scout for AFC team

Additionally, it Gettleman made some comments at the last presser that seem to indicate he isn't as concerned with player projections for 4-3 or 3-4 defensive line. Even if for some reason TJ Watt can't play 4-3 end, the Panthers actually played a decent number of snaps last year in a base 3-4, and I'm sure Wilks can figure out how to get him on the field.

We didn't ever play in a base 3-4.

He's always hurt, undersized and would need to put on 15-20 lbs., and is a TE convert who has VERY little coverage experience.  So no, I'm not sold on him as a Panther pick if available.  Love the motor and work ethic, though.

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
