Growing Sense that we take Mykel/Shemar, No matter who's available

I liked last years approach where XL just flat said he was going to the be the pick

 

 

We're pretty slick at the poker table. LOL

we've did it with bryce as well

I will say I went back and watched more tape on williams and saw some things I like. 

I see why they think he could be molded. That size and length is just a unfair advantage when used correctly. 

But, I like shemar too and I think the sacks numbers are over exaggerated. He is a force with a high motor.

We've been doing it for YEARS. I remember all the smoke around guys like Shaq and Vernon Butler because so many of us myself included were like why the fug would we be making these picks at positions where we're strongest when we have such obvious holes and these guys aren't even great prospects?

Stewart is who he is. Williams had a bad ankle all year that caused his production to go down. I would pick Williams over Steward but would rather trade back than take either at 8.

Yeah but this iteration of the front office literally tells the prospect that you are the pick, which seems kindof nuts if you think about it

there hasn’t been anything to actually link the panthers to shemar stewart, the Mykel Williams stuff feels real though

guys who don’t produce in college rarely if ever get a bit of magical coach em up and become 15 sack monsters at the nfl level

Williams was theoretically hobbled by an ankle injury but Stewart has no such excuse

We do like our raw and injured prospects.

In both I see almost the same player, and it is not a player we need.  Don't we have these guys in Wonnum and Pat Jones?  They are all about the same size.  I do not see the logic in drafting another player in that mold.

I don't think anyone in mid march has an idea yet.  Let it play out.

The more I ponder it, the more I think we go with Malaki Starks from Ga. He's a solid FS, who played 671 snaps last year in coverage (400 as FS and 271 at nickel). He's also 1 of the only round 1 talents we've formally visited with, Shemar Stewart and Jalon Walker being the other 2. We don't have a FS on the roster other than last year's UDFA. I think that there will be plenty of edges still there at 57.

Charlie Campbell and another had linked the Stewart stuff. You’re right though, there’s more than a few saying we “love” Mykel.

Just seems like we’re off to showing our cards again.

TMac ran a 4.48 at his pro day.  He won’t last long

You’d think we’d learn a bit when we tell a prospect we’ll draft him at the end of the 1st/early 2nd, the prospect tells everybody that we are picking him and no other team makes an attempt to “steal” that prospect. Normal teams would realize, hmm, maybe we got him because everyone else didn’t think he was worth it.

I would rather have Jihaad than either of these guys TBH
