David Newton with some excellent insight on why the coaching staff and front office made this decision

Newton isn't the reporter fans need or want, but he's the reporter the Panthers deserve.

He set the limits of this class, Jesus what a combine....

1,150 yards, 15 TD’s, 2 receiving TD’s

5’10 210

2nd Team All-ACC

4.32 forty at combine (1st)

41” vertical at combine (1st)

10 yard split (1st)

Broad Jump (2nd)

Dude’s an athletic freak and an amazing RB with vision, cutbacks, and power.  Whoever gets him in the mid-rounds is getting a stud.

I would suspect that this assures they draft a RB.

Wait, you mean the staff is giving up on Thomas and Blackshear...in the same offseason?  How do we go on without mediocrity?

Great, now we can waste yet another pick on a broken RB.

He's basically just a KR for us anyway

Mediocrity would be an improvement. It doesn't seem like they are not going to settle for the status quo. I agree. It's time for another churn.

I agree it's time to reset the RB room outside of Hubbard. I also imagine the decision makers have seen other teams around the league getting high quality production out of mid round and undrafted RB's. Example the Buccaneers with 4th round pick Bucky Irving. All I can do is hope Dan Morgan learned a very tough lesson in his first year.

Maybe, maybe not. Blackshear wasn't drafted, he was an undrafted free agent.  So we may plan to bring someone else in without drafting anyone.

Decent player but it seems the coaching staff has decided to upgrade

Now we know that David grasps this move.  Whew.
