I’m watching NFL Network and they said he plays faster than he tests, and has great hands. So it sounds good

vice grips they say

Seems like a great choice. Has first round athletic talent.

I pray I am wrong on him. He did have good college production but his RAS scares me for a guy who is billed as an athletic TE

Well….ill take you back to the Rhule years where RAS was all there was 

there are football players and there are test takers (physical and otherwise)

…but you know what doesn’t lie, tape.

So happy. I have wanted him for months

Love this pick so much man, this guy is gonna be a beast in the nfl 

[CPF4LIFE]

Not the tight end I wanted but oh well. I like some things he does.

Outside this pick…RAS has still been largely what the Panthers seem to value post Rhule.  
Think Panthers value that under Tepper.  
 

lot do their positional visits and things like feature standout RAS guys

I like this- first real receiving threat at that position since G Olsen - and he looks faster than Olsen was.

Yeah time to get back to drafting football players. We need attitude on this team again and some personality we can get behind too. Teams been boring as hell since showing all the old guys the door

[Hoenheim]

Damn great pick actually 

Morgan finally just picked a player that was on top of a typical mock draft board. 

JaTavion Sanders was an extremely common fan pick in R3/R4 particularly in a lot of mock drafts.

If you swapped out that LB we got in R3 for Trotter or Gray this draft would be a slam dunk.

I posted earlier with some data that this really isn’t true. They arguably could’ve used more athleticism.
