Similar to cap but Bryce love would be an added speed dimension when added to cmc Samuel and our other wideouts The defenses wouldn’t be able to handle all that speed

I like the idea, just not the player.  Love has been consistently injured but I do agree with the type of back we should be looking for, do like Justice Hill although this class just isn’t very strong.  Henderson is interesting as well.

Heard Love will probably go on PUP and be ready the second half of season.  Would be a dream pick that we would not have to change the offense when CMC is off the field and could also use both together with one in the slot.  The new duo of ....Salt and Pepper.

Yes I watched many Stanford games when cmc and Live we’re together and I can tell you that if u added his speed to cmc Moore and Samuel then you would drive defenses crazy. Love set youth world records for the sprints. He ran a 10.7 100 meters at the age of 14.

Idk how I feel about the backup RB stuff...  I know we need a viable one, but I also feel like CMC has proven to be the most versatile RB in all of pro football, so the more he's out there, the greater impact he makes.  Conversely, the more he's out there without breaks, the quicker he will wear down over time.

Then again, Marshall Faulk did a lot of similar things, was the featured back during his whole career, and didn't seem to be adversely affected.

Montgomery is a fuging stud. Would love this pick...…… with our second 3rd or our 4th. He's projected higher but RBs tend to slide.

Montgomery ran 4.63 at the combine which is slow for a top back.

Not that concerned with the underwear Olympics. The man's film speaks for itself.

Well nfl linebackers are much faster than the Iowa st opponents. With his lack of speed he shouldn’t go higher than the fourth round

You sound like an NFL draft expert so I won't argue.

You know he’s tops on Hurneys board. I’d bet money we are picking a RB between the 1-3.

Like we grabbed Stewart a year after DWill?  I would not doubt it.  Marty likes the safe picks that make him look good right away.  A developmental player (like a DE or DT) he seems to struggle with.

I don't think we really have any interest in finding a classic powerback to compliment CMC. We had that last year and barely used him before cutting him. I think we're going to try and find a poor man's version of CMC to be our #2.

I agree, but a drafted back is cheaper than picking up a former pro bowl vet. If we barely plan to use him, the draft is the cheaper option.

I don’t like him enough to drop a 2 on him.

He has a point. 4.6 for a 222 pound back is kinda trash, considering superior prospects like fournette clocked 2.52 at 233. NFL is a game of inches and that could be the difference between a good back and a serviceable one. I wouldn’t even consider him before round 3/4.

I'm not outright dismissing it. I just prefer to use actual football film as a better measuring stick than the combine in regard to NFL potential.

If I was CMC I’d be worried about my longevity in the NFL while wearing a Panthers uniform. They have already destroyed Cam without even a thought and will do the same to CMC.
