...deal the first-rounder, 22nd overall (from New England), to Carolina, without a first-rounder right now, for one of its backs. Interesting. If it's Jonathan Stewart, I'd do it. I'm a little worried about the injury bug biting DeAngelo Williams.

Is it just me, or is that a bit insulting? A late 1st round pick for one of two of arguably the top 5 RB's in the NFL right now? I would hope the Panthers would never deal one of them for a pick that crappy, unless someone just incredible is left on the board at that point.

Nobody trades first round picks for players that play a position that has the shortest career lifespan anymore

But teams do pick running backs in the first round...and with a guy like Stewart who has a low amount of mileage and still a high amount of upside, a team would be crazy not to consider it if they had several other draft picks and running back was a big area of need.

OK, you know what JStew and DWill can do... let's just hypothetically say we did do what King is suggesting and got a first round pick... what do you get with that? An unknown commodity that may or may not be a good player who most certainly would be an inexperience and untested rookie... vs. a top-3 back in DWill or a top-10 back in JStew... King is a dumbass.

injury bug? deangelo has stayed injury-free for the vast majority of his career. if anything, j-stew is the one to be worried about.

Stewart doesn't miss games. Last time he missed a game was his freshman year at Oregon.

I would take a first round pick for either player, though I think Stewart has more upside to the Panthers (younger, hasn't missed a game yet, longer time left on his contract).

Remember, you are going to have to pay DeAngelo when his contract expires. Why not parlay that into another first round pick and get the services of another stud RB for a few years on the cheap?

      Smitty's pre-draft analysis of Nalo

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      I just remembered that they said Mike Evans problem was he took plays off in the NFL. I remember the season that Jameis Winston threw 30 INTs that the announcer was talking a lot of crap about Evans taking plays off.    Evans still put up over 1,000 yards that season and had 8 TDs.   I say that because Evans is the guy who Tet is always compared to. I think even if he does take plays off then he will still probably be decent. Hopefully the whole “takes plays off” is blown out of proportion and he balls out.

      I invested way too much time in it and then couldn't find the exact map.  Similar one shows they pretty much can go to Columbia and up to VA which aligns w/ their local visits.   Then then encounter "micropolitan areas" going westward that would cut them off I think trying to get into western south and north Carolina. Seems like a certain mile radius would make the most sense.  Got to think some areas like the Northeast teams could take advantage of a lot more schools.    Players who attend college or reside in a club’s “metropolitan area” can be given a physical examination without counting against the 30-player limit, unless the club provides transportation for the visit. Also, a player who attends college or whose hometown is in a club’s “metropolitan area” may be timed and tested at the club’s facility, as long as the club does not provide transportation. “Metropolitan area” is defined as contiguous suburbs. There isn’t a 25-mile, 50-mile, or any other type of mileage radius rule. The league office uses the 2011 Rand-McNally Road Atlas to determine the metropolitan area of a city.
