Panthers select Oregon RB Kenjon Barner

[ThunderKatt]

I guess you meant plummeted. If that's what you meant then say so but your opinion is still tainted cuz you don't know squat.

Glad you think so...

But like I was saying this draft wasn't all that great!!! I mean it started off great, but from there plumited until the 6 round. Not saying Short is a bad player, just saying he is a bad pick.

He can be a versatile guy and is more explosive than joe adams.

Did no one watch him play at Oregon?!

Deangelo is gone next season so here is some potential depth n STs help.

After this draft I am really starting to believe that most people on here do not watch college football. They just read a scout page and want to argue about a kids college career.

[The Huddler]

Does it matter if we still have an OLine on skates, and a secondary that doesn't let the defense get off the field?

That's how needs work.

Hell yeah man lets fix that "hole" in the secondary with another late round scrub. Camon man. The Barner pick is Greg Hardy esq.

[The Huddler]

"hes a playmaker", well poo so was Geno Smith why not draft him too. lol smh.

Camon man youre not on the "lets draft a scrub in the late rounds to fix our secondary" road are you?

[panthersphan]

I'm I the only one who doesn't mind this pick?

I see nothing wrong with adding some depth at RB especially when Stew can never stay healthy

It's a 6th round pick ..get over it ...Barner might end up being a decent change of pace back

[The Huddler]

People can complain about this pick if they want, but this outside of Star is my favorite pick of the draft. Barner is going to be a beast in some capacity.

Barner is the quick dude that we want Dwill to be in terms of out of shotgun, read option. Both Stewart and Barner have alot experience with it and this is a better One-Two punch.

I love Dwill, but in terms of read option, Barner is superior. Not nearly as complete thought. Dwill is still a great back out of the I-formation.

Bottom line man, this is probably my second favorite pick behind star as well.

[The Huddler]

I just watched some youtube videos on him, I didn't know anything about him before we took him but I must say he might have been a brilliant investment for the future. He's tiny, but he seems great at following blockers, finding holes, navigating the middle and staying low (of course). Could very well be our Sproles, I don't think it's a stretch to think that could happen sooner rather than later. Also seems to have big hands for a guy his size.

Agree. He is the compliment to Stewart that we want Dwill to be in terms of read option plays.

Really you love the 5'8" 160 pound WR/RB who was infinitely better at CB than RB? That guy??

He would be a Harvin type weapon in the NFL. He'll make his living outta the slot not the backfield. Hes a playmaker. Would be a good pick on day 2 if he declares.

He'll go in the first on hype, and be a colossal disappointment....

[CardiacCats]

jesus you guys are fuging idiots. you really thinking we were gonna get starters in the 5th and 6th rounds? this dude is electrifying and adds just another weapon, i'm fine with taking a guy like this late especially since deangelo won't be around much longer. i was just disappointed we never addressed the secondary

[savage]

this pick is awesome. this kid is so fast and has great vision.

[Ivan The Awesome]

I am going to kill myself.

If this means a DWill trade, that will be my saving grace. Other than that, this is the worst draft in recent memory.

This is the most stupid post in this thread...

[CardiacCats]

He can be our Darren Sproles, no doubt. Once D-Will leaves (after this year I bet) I definitely think this guy can be our scat-back change of pace guy behind Stew for years to come. Doubt he gets a lot of touches next year (could spend some time on the practice squad) but I really like his potential and what we could do with him.

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

I love this kid as a playmaker for this team and think he could be very valuable when he sees the field and can get a significant amount of touches. That said, I wasn't and am currently not a huge fan of the pick just because of the personnel we already have on our roster but I do recognize that DeAngelo's time here in Charlotte is likely numbered and Kenjon is an excellent change of pace back that can be a receiving threat. If he becomes anything close to a Sproles-type player for this team it was well-worth a 6th and will really help out this team.
