Panthers NOT signing another safety? Or just not Tyrann Mathieu...

Go back and watch Kam Chancellor on Seattle. That's the blueprint for how we should be using Chinn.

Yeah.. he had Bobby Wagner and K.J. Wright eating up all his blocks.. we don’t have that.

As our current roster stands he’d be a better fit at LB unless we land an elite OLB.

I’m not saying he can’t play SS because you are 100% right, most of his coverage struggles were from playing deep. I just don’t think with our current personnel it uses his talent the best.

What we’ll see is Chinn making tackles 5 and 6 yards down the field.

You think he'll have to take on fewer blocks at LB than at SS?

It’s not about him taking on blocks, it’s about where he’ll be making the tackle.

In a perfect world we have Luke and Shaq playing LB and Chinn coming in at SS.

Currently we don’t have an elite OLB which will allow teams to run it down our throat. At SS, Chinn would be making all of the tackles five yards down the field. At LB, there’s at least a chance for a TFL or limiting the RB to a short gain.

    • They played some good teams but they also played a lot of pee wee college defenses too.  Warren won't be that open in the NFL.  Although credit where it's due, he did make some contested catches against good coverage.  
    • If I’m putting myself in a team’s shoes - you’re looking at these prospects and Warren hits most boxes for a TE with a plus on most. So yeah, he’s a great prospect, no doubt, 1st round talent as a TE. But when I look at him through the lens of that PSU offense, they were running so much through him, I’m not so sure it was beneficial to seeing how he translates.  They were getting him open in the flat, running weird trick plays, and designed a lot of ways to find him on delayed seam routes and such. So a lot was structured around getting him the ball in creative ways to advance the ball, in steady sequences, methodically down the field.  Thing is, yeah he’s catching a ton, is big, and can block, but throw him into an NFL offense in a more traditional sense, he’s gonna be stickied by speedy LBs and big nickels. I just wonder how he is in a more isolated fashion— when he’s just a piece of a greater NFL offense getting shadowed by more talented defenders. I think it could still be great but I have question marks when it’s at the TE position. Will he look no different than other very solid TEs or is he this offensive centerpiece at the position that doesn’t come along often (Bowers, Gronk, Kelce, Witten, TG, etc)? I think he brings a ton and could be one of the safer TE prospects, but what I’m unsure about is if you’re really getting this new age Witten type people are crowning him as. Even if that’s the case, is that worth it? If he wasn’t in PSU’s Franklin/Allar offense, would you be seeing the same output?  More questions than anything - I could get on board with it, but it’s hard for me to really project because of how that offense was (which was so frustrating at times). 
    • Twitter sources, but supposedly the Rams want him. He might actually go Round 1.
