Newton mentioned Horn as a great fit for the Panthers...if he fell to the second round.

Obviously I'm biased but I really think Horn is the best CB in the draft. As a true corner, he is the best to come out of Columbia that I have ever watched, including Gilmore. If he had INTs before this year (nobody threw at him) and the team was successful, I have no doubt he would be talked about top 10. His pro day numbers just solidified that to me. 

FTR, he also posted a 4.39. He's not slow by any means but I was not expecting that.

I think we are waiting to see if the QB picture clears up so we can sign a free agent--QB or CB.

  • LT:  Erving and Scott (slightly below average)
  • LT: Rookie like Leatherwood, Erving, and Scott (average)
  • CB:  #1: Jackson, #2 Pride  (below average)
  • CB: #1 Top free agent, #2 Jackson:  (slightly above average)

 

By adding a #1 CB, you get better at 2 positions and have better depth that can play.

By adding a rookie starting LT, you may improve at LT, but you bury recent signees Scott and Erving.  That just does not sound like the plan that is in place.  They are deliberately (it seems) not addressing CB--with any sense of urgency or significance.

I have to think we are looking at QB, CB, then T.  I am guessing that they will take a look at Scott/Erving for a year because they feel as if they have upgraded LG.

I think I've got a pretty good idea where they're going to be tomorrow.

 

Wonder how many Jets reps will be in attendance?  If there are a lot of coaches, you have to wonder if they are comparing him to Darnold.

      Predictions for Brooks debut

      The other draft picks have turned out pretty well. Brooks will too.

      Updated 2025 draft order

      I'm still not touching Hunter He again said the other day that he plans on playing both sides of the ball in the NFL.  If he is allowed to do that, he won't be as good on either side as his potential and he's going to have serious injury issues and have a short career.  If he's not allowed to do it, I think he's going to become a problem when the team isn't winning as he's going to feel him not being used on both sides of the ball is why. He's being coddled in that environment with Deion and I think it's doing a disservice to him to prepare him for life in the NFL where your coach isn't a 2nd father to you, to where you can just walk into his locker room and steal his shoes like Hunter does to Deion.

      Real Mid-Season Development at QB: Bo Nix

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      He’s a tad behind them. Around 15ish of 32 starters in the league. He’s well ahead of a lot of guys. Tua, Bryce, Cousins (present), Rodgers (current), Devito/Jones, Minshew, Russ (current), Watson, Smith, Carr, T Laws deep ball is weak as poo IMO, there’s plenty. And it’s not like everyone is ripping 60+ers. The key component is if you can rip and maintain velocity of the 30-40 yarders which he does super well. Legit every report out there from Brugler to PFF to PFN document him as good/above average arm strength.  Eye test tells me it’s pretty much that as well, slightly above average.
