He was brought up in the pinned combine thread but I decided to give him his own thread.

Bottom line, if he is still there in the second when we pick (which after today I really don't think he will be) he would be hard to pass up on, even though we need defensive help more than WR help he is a rare, rare, rare WR specimen.

He is 6'4 220 pounds, ran a 4.30 40, made a diving catch on a fade route that was amazing, destroyed the gauntlet drill, and is hands looked like they had glue on them.

The only downside is he came from GT and is really, really raw on his route running and it showed on some of the route running drills. But that is an easier fix than being short and/or slow.

But the added bonus of coming from GT means he is likely a very good run blocker as well.

My personal opinion, and talking to some draftniks via twitter and email, he combined his way into the top 50 overall and may (likely) go in the 1st round.

Maybe he is a combine special but I fell in love with him today. Panthers would be wise to do some homework on this guy and maybe pull the trigger if we can find a way to get him.

Thoughts??

We have an amazing oc and qb. I don't think we have to worry about having elite talent at WR when they will make them look good.

I would rather us draft an olineman than any other position on offense.

There is great value in later rounds at O-line though. Our QB is the type that can make up for some O-line deficiencies. Our O-line was pretty darn good this year. A lot of the sacks we gave up was more from Cam holding on to the ball too long (not a criticism BTW just a fact with all rookie QBs) than the offensive line breaking down.

David Gettis: shorter at 6-3, ran a 4.47 or a 4.43 at the combine, hands didn't look as good as Hill's did today or on "tape" (DVR).

LOL! I just mentioned David Gettis because everybody was so "High" on him. I was expecting this thread to fill up with the "we dont need a receiver" talk. Guess everybody had a change of heart.

      Well, I'll be damned. Good call bro. 75 yards up the creek from the house. A big chunk of the creek bank let go and slid off into the creek. It looked like maybe 6-8 feet of dirt on top of bedrock and once saturated it basically slid off of the bedrock like a playground slide. I'll post up pics when I can upload.

      Andy Dalton QB School week 3

      Look I get you are wait and see on Canales and that's perfectly fine but comparing him to Rhule is off base brother. And I do not see significant similarities to the Arizona win from 2021. They honestly are strikingly different. All you have to do is dig into the numbers. Our starting QB that game was PJ Walker who had 167 passing yards on 29 attempts with no touchdowns and one INT. Cam attempted 4 passes for 8 yards. Not one single passing touchdown in that blowout win. By comparison we had 166 rushing yards and one of those touchdowns was Cam's "I'm back!!!" run for a score. Looking at that game obviously it was a mirage and not sustainable because it is a passing league. If that game compares to any other I would say it would be the Lions win with Wilks. Now look at the Raiders win. 319 passing yards 3 passing touchdowns 114 rushing yards from Chuba 1 rushing touchdown from Miles Sanders. That's a balanced offense. That's what we've been asking for going on years now. But I will agree with you they absolutely do need to prove it wasn't a one off and build from that win. I'd love to see it. We'll just have to wait and find out.
