Bottom of the Roster Guys

Probably a large portion of this group will be gone by training camp. The WRs are interesting to me because we brought in so many and our production other than DJ was not ideal. I think adding Roberts as a Returner also eats one of those spots so it'll be interesting to see if any of them can stick. An uphill battle for any of these guys.

Of the rest I liked the big OLB that we have listed as a DT (Jacob T-M). He seems like another chess piece that may be able to fill a role. His ability to play on ST's will also help him. ..but will it be enough to beat out Haynes or Luvu for playing time behind YGM.

The true Nose from Kentucky is interesting to me as well.

I think the Bravvion Roy experiment should come to an end, he's not tall or long enough to really do anything. Can't pass rush, can't get his t-rex arms on guys in the run. Nixon is obviously better and I'd rather the extra spot be taken up by a true fat boy for short yardage/special teams stuff

Roy is safe. Rhule guy.

I don't think it's because he's a Rhule guy, I think it's because he's been good depth. I don't know what people expect. I haven't heard his name called for anything bad, but have seen him impact a few plays.

    • The draft isn't a vending machine where you insert a pick, press A3, and out pops a franchise cornerstone. It’s more like a gacha game - you turn in a premium (or non-premium) ticket, hear the fun little jingle, and wait to see what you pulled... without knowing how strong it'll actually end up. League-wide, the average draft hits on about 30 - 40% of its picks when teams have a standard seven selections. So if you walk away with 3 - 4 real contributors... that's considered a solid class. Hitting on 4 out of 11 is right in that range. To be clear: this isn't some veiled endorsement of Tepper, Fitterer, or Rhule. It’s simply an honest accounting of which players from that class are still with the Panthers and heading into their fourth year - and thus outlasting the average NFL career. Just trying to lean more toward more critiquing with clarity, not just lighting it all on fire for the spectacle of the flames.
    • Please do not forget that everything the NFL does is for the increase in revenue. If a big market team draws more money [ticket sales, betting revenue, TV ratings & etc.] when they play at home versus on the road in the playoffs, you can safely be sure the NFL knows & will act accordingly. Just like the draft lottery proposal, if the NFL can capture TV ratings for it, they will.
    • For a WR, 6'4" 220 would be decent size--if you hit the 235 range, I imagine that it costs you speed. I think his speed was an issue. He ran a 4.48 at his pro day. At the combine, he weighed in at 219 (NFL.com).   Mike Evans weighed 225 as a rookie and is also 6'4".  He ran a 4.53 40.  My main and only concern about TMac is between his ears--and it could be nothing.  He seems a bit silly, and it seems that he is in celebration mode when I want him to be in "let's get to work" mode.  Again, some people are just like that, but when they put the helmet on, they get focused.  I want to see that "dawg" before I get overly excited.  The pick is growing on me, and if you broaden the scope to consider what was available in free agency and the draft, it makes sense.  I don't think we got lesser Edge rushers in the second and third rounds, frankly, than what we could have gotten in the first.
