Rookie Minicamp Updates/Tweets

Ross' tape is pretty nice for a udfa and his senior experience/playing with an NFL QB in Dak could help the transition. He's going to have to prove he's crafty but he still has more yac potential than Garrett.

Meanwhile.... TD held his charity event and check out this picture.  Such awesomeness.  Just can't wait to see all 4 on the field at once for the Panthers!

Who plays LT behind Kalil if he is injured.  Currently we have nobody but PS guys from last season.  Not a good situation as we discovered last year when we had no one behind Oher.

Oher is at least experienced at LT that even if he's playing RT he could slide over to LT if needed due to injury.  (If he's healthy, but that's a huge if, and that's the problem.)

 

Huddlers are living in Fantasy Land if they believe Oher is beating our Daryl Williams for RT. 

 

Oher will I'll be good depth but his run blocking ability will keep him behind DW

I sure hope Pep still has at least one good season left in him. If so, this defense could be special.

I believe DW will be our starting RT of the future , but Moton could be a good depth player for now that could transition to future replacement for Kalil with his IQ level.

We'll see. DW has been good but not great.

Here's a look at the post rookie minicamp roster by position, last year and this year, plus a look at the number and % of newly added players at each position during the 2017 offseason to date.

On twitter some folks were shocked we have 10 LBs on our roster.  As you can see, it's par for the course.  Panthers also had 10 LBs on the roster this time last year. 

Biggest difference I see from last year is decrease in # of DTs and TEs.  Those are also among the positions for which we've brought in the least amount of new blood. (NO new TEs, 1 new DT).

WR & OT have the greatest number of newly added players.
