Star Lotulelei

Carolina Panthers (7-9)

COLLEGE: Utah

AGE: 23

HT: 6-2

WT: 311

POS: DT

Analysis: The Panthers were simply bad as a run defense in 2012, and that's even after they drafted Luke Kuechly to hold down the middle. Well, your run defense isn't going to get better just because you get consistent tackling at linebacker. Lotulelei can occupy blocks given his initial burst and his ability to read, identify and make tackles against the run himself. The Panthers need to come out of this draft with some help for the interior of their D-line.

It should be noted that he has Sheldon Richardson going #10 to the Titans.

Ok somethng is up. First Joe Person says "Panthers like Star at 14 a lot." Then the story I posted a little bit ago that said "Panthers will not take a DT unless its Star." Now suddenly nearly every single draft expert has us taking Star. I just dont see how all these experts can suddenly switch on the fly from sheldon richardson to now "oh nevermind, Star to the Panthers." I think A. The draft experts heard from team sources that they wont draft Star in the top 13 and B. Panthers sources saying they love Star

Yea there is definately a leak. Someone somewhere heard from numerous teams in the top 13 that Star is off their draft board and that the Panthers will pounce on him. This is very very similar to the mocks all changing in 2011 to us drafting Cam when it became clear he was our guy. It was a big sea change in the mocks like we are seeing with Star right now

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      I want to throw in how much easier it is for a QB to develop and improve with a good oline.  Huge credit to the front office for spending the money on our two guards.  Cade Mays also had a 2nd really good game starting at center.  Love how he has developed and hope he's the real deal. Look at what Stroud is dealing with now in Houston after injuries and problems with their oline.  Strouds accuracy has been greatly affected as it seems like he doesn't trust his protection. Canales is doing a great job developing Bryce.  I think the QB whisperer might be for real. And obviously big props to Bryce.  First round pick that looks horrible in his first year.  Different coaches and systems.  Fans and media are calling him the biggest bust in NFL history and he looked like it in the first two games this year.  Gets benched.  Young man keep his cool and just continued to work and only worry about what he can control.  I hope things continue like this and we end up with a great success story. Bryce Young kept pounding.

      This is exactly what we needed to see from Beyce

      Outside of Philly (who currently is #3 in pass defense) the rest of our remaining opponents are bottom 1/3 of the League in that regard.  Let's see what Bryce can do versus bad pass Ds.
