let's make sure he can execute the playbook first

Why, Dick?  Do you have cause to question his football acumen or even worse, scholastic aptitude?  (Seriously, I made the same comment when we drafted Silatolu, and I stand by it to this day).

Funny, but the thing I noticed was that he considered himself a fullback---(The Panthers are one of the few teams that used a FB...) when he had never played.  I am sure the Panthers told him that, but I wondered if that was HIS intent.

I think this is another "Swiss Army knife" player.  He is a FB with TE experience.  Can he catch?  Can he slide out to a wing or even line up as a TE?  Throw him into an offense that has McCaffrey (who can catch passes) and Samuel (who can run the ball) and these three players are capable of lining up as TE/RB/WR, FB/WR/WR, TE/RB/RB, etc.

I am not suggesting that he is going to line up as a TE as Olsen does, but Brockel or even Dickson Hbacking could be in the cards for him.

If I remember correctly, DG has said more than once that he had really good hands.  That was what made Tolbert so good.  He was a good blocker and could catch with some power.  (until last year)

He looks like a fullback and if he can lead block for Stewart and CMC we might just have a pretty dangerous running game again.

We have Young, released Tolbert and Rockhead.  The best FBs were not going off the board in the sixth.  I think we must have really liked him. 

If you can get a player that you feel confident will make the team and contribute in a meaningful way early, it is a good draft pick.  If he is found in the sixth round, that is a great pick.  I hope he is the real deal.

I am feeling this is DG's best draft--remains to be seen--but we had a pretty established roster, and I see most of these picks playing a role in the upcoming season.  I though we were drafting for depth, but McCaffrey, Samuel, perhaps Moton--could be key players from day 1.  Then you throw in Hall's potential, Corn (a nickel who can play special teams and likes to hit) and AA at FB---solid.  Not sure about the kicker...
