Ok, this is nice little signing. 26 yrs old, cheap and stretches the field. Averaged 14.1 yards per catch and had 24 1st downs. Looks like we're using analytics in this FA. I'm really loving this free agency so far. This is the most interesting and exciting FA I can recall. I would say even if there aren't any really flashy signings but I think it's actually BECAUSE there aren't any flashy signings and instead look intelligently designed to improve depth and add specific productivity at an affordable price. This is exactly how I think a smart organization is supposed to treat the off season. Are we watching Moneyball here? I'm feeling something strange and unfamiliar. Is it hope?

Pretty productive actually.  It's just odd seeing a TE that light outside of high school.  Serioulsy, if the dude has a mean streak, he doesn't need to be 250 to be an effective blocker.  Look at Smitty; for 5'9" and 180 pounds, he could block dudes much bigger than him.

I don't think they brought him here to block. He's here to attack the middle of the field for 1st downs and stop teams from concentrating on the outside only. He should give our offense another dimension that we were lacking last season. Solid pick up.

He's going to have to block some.  The team isn't going to trot him on the field only in 3rd and long situations.  Grated, he's a pass cathcing TE, but even those guys have to do some dirty work now and again.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
