Just some food for thought on this idea of taking a DT (Wilkins/Lawrence) etc. 

Per -- https://panthergf.wordpress.com/2019/01/19/2019-draft-prospect-visit-workout-meeting-list/

The only ''private'' work outs we've had at the position are:

Dre'Mont Jones & Khalen Saunders 

Meanwhile at...

Edge - Sweat / Burns 

T - Dillard / Taylor / Ford / Little / Williams 

Have all had private workouts, also factor in -- http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001027883/article/teams-believe-montez-sweats-heart-condition-misdiagnosed -- and I think the odds at 16 lean more towards the players at ''Edge & OL'' vs an interior DL with the ability to play 34 End. People need to remember we're ''not switching'' to a 34. We're adding more looks from the Odd fronts to pair with our Even fronts.

We may have met with him as "local" visit, and it may not have been reported.

That is what I was thinking--besides, they know what he can do--his tape demonstrates his versatility--they are likely to become enamored with his character--he is a class act--by spending time with him.  Who knows, but  that is my "pro Wilkins" theory.

And playing hybrids makes the need for versatile DT/DEs a necessity. 

What is our 3 man front right now? Who is our SDE in 4-3? How many if any of our current players at DT/DE will be here next year? 

  Don’t know if they will, but there are numerous reasons for a player like Wilkins who can fill multiple holes.

I could be mistaken, but I think we had numerous 1st round picks under Hurney where we did not meet with that guy, at least not that was publicly known.

That is fair, HOWEVER it ''seems'' as though Hurney 2.0 is proving to be more diligent and intentional in his dealings, remember all the attention DJ Moore received...

If you look at the 2018 list -- https://panthergf.wordpress.com/2018/01/18/2018-draft-prospect-visit-workout-meeting-list/

We met with a TON of receivers, however only -- Moore / Ridlley / Kirk / Miller got ''PRI'' workouts

Of all the Corners that we met with -- Duke Dawson / Mike Hughes / Donte Jackson got PRI'' workouts

So all I'm saying is we might have a ''new Marty trend'' for at least the early picks, when you look at three of our latter round selections...

Gaulden (Pro Day and I believe a connection a coacj on our staff that worked with him in college, Rodriguez I think), & Thomas (Senior Bowl) did not participate in private work outs. We were at Jermaine Carter's Pro-Day

Note* PRI for Ronnie Harrison who I think was still available when we selected Gaulden, so did that coach beat the table for him, or was there something we didn't like on Harriosn's visit

So as I pour over the information and try to inform my own educated / informed to the best of what's available opinion I have a hard time thinking we are considering DT early, based on a potential trend shared with our two high selections last year. 

Just some food for thought.

Don't we typically meet with guys we have ?'s on and not guys we are certain about?

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
