Like probably most of you, I've been watching more tape on players, and specifically on some of the later round quarterbacks just to see what potential is out there.

So while I was watching some game tape of QB David Mills from Stanford... this guy just kept popping off the screen, so much that I finally looked him up and started to just watch him, and it was really hard NOT to like the kid.

6'3 and 222 lbs, posting a 4.37 and 4.42 40-speed (he looks faster on tape), and makes acrobatic catches in ways that reminded me of Smitty. Just some crazy ball awareness and control. You listen to his interviews and he's got a good head on his shoulders too.

ProFootballNetwork  rates him as an early Day 3 https://www.profootballnetwork.com/simi-fehoko-nfl-draft-player-profile-stanford-wide-receiver/

PFF algorithm compares him to Hank Baskett, but I think he could be so much more. https://www.pff.com/news/draft-2021-nfl-draft-comps-stanford-cardinal-wr-simi-fehoko

I know some have brought up maybe taking a receiver with the 1st pick. I'm not in that camp, but I would be pretty happy if we could get him in the 3rd round cutoff like we did with Chinn just to make sure.

I'm not sure why the projections on him are Day 3, so I may be missing something. But see for yourself! What do you think?

Yep, I've mocked him a few times now.  He's actually in my latest mock.  I know the Panthers are looking for a tall red zone target since they have Zoomed with Strachen (sp), the small school WR product that's 6'5".  Fehoko would be more polished coming in being from a Power 5 School.

I'd add UNC's Dazz Newsome and WFU's Sage Surratt to the list.

Newsome in particular is intriguing as a Samuel replacement. He doesn't have Samuel's game breaking speed, but he has better hands and is a much better route runner coming out of college than Samuel was. He has similar versatility. He's be a great 3rd day pick.

Surratt is a more typical pure receiver, but he's a good one. I honestly wouldn't be shocked if he ends up being picked on day two.

      Little worried about Jarvy Shoulder and that torn cuff, it's needed surgery for 2 years now and he's gonna play with it injured again next season.    I like the toughness but would definitely prefer it to be fixed. He's an intritical player on the team going forward.    Also I was high on pain pills last time I wrote about saving cap space but I didn't go into detail cause I wouldn't have been able to do so. "still on a ton of pain medication but not as nearly as many, think I'm down to 23 pills a day from 32 a few days ago, 18 of them are for pain management in some form or another."     But I digress let's get to the point I was trying to make in my last post about saving, I'll now use Jarvis as an example.    Let's say the canes spend 23m of the 28m in space they have available. Then have Jarvis get surgery and put him on LTIR at the start of the regular season.  You let the cap space sit til the trade deadline. At the deadline that cap space would have accural on it and the team can use that space and spend 24m on incoming salary for the rest of the season. Let's say they bring in 5 players and send out two. "player A has an 8m AAV contract" he'd cost Carolina 4m the rest of the season. Player B makes 10 "cost of 5. So forth and so forth.  Using that accural system and the Jarvis LTIR, the Canes could then go into the playoffs with a healthy Jarvis and be 19m over the cap legally for a cup run. The more cap space available at the start of the season, the larger the accural would be at the trade deadline.    That was the first part of what I was going to try and articulate the other day but I'm on 35mg of oxy every 6 hours plus ketorolac and two other pain pills and another for kidney spasms.    Have a wonderful night everyone

      Will history repeat itself and Carolina make it to NFCCG this year?

      The main thing that makes the NFL so appealing is how unpredictable it is
