I don't think I ever actually looked, although I'm also convinced he would never have played a snap in Kansas City.

1. Sylvester Morris - Hey I remember this guy! Uh...he might have been ok if he had two functioning knees. He unfortunately didn't even have one if I remember right.

2. William Bartee - Remember him too! He was a corner, who....was okish for a while I guess? Maybe a lot less than ok, now I think I remember everyone complaining about him. But he started for a while, so good for him.

3. Greg Wesley - Safety. This guy I remember less, even though he played longer than Bartee. Probably because he was less worth complaining about on reflection.
Think Sylvester Morris was actually looking promising until his knees exploded.

Bartee would of been a good db if he ever turned his head around. Wesley was below average, which was above average on that terrible Defense era.

Leonard fournette weighed in at 240 pounds, the heaviest RB in the draft. Welcome to Carolina I suppose.

There's a decent chance he falls to the bottom half of the draft, if not completely out of the first round.

Leonard Fournette is also tall and carries his weight well. People are acting like he's Eddie Lacy 2.0 for some strange reason.

Like I said, if he runs well. Fournette is a freak and quite a few people considered him a better prospect than Elliott last year.

When asked which Pokemon he evolved into, Kamara pauses.

"Motherfucking, what's that big dragon shit? That orange motherfucker. Charizard."

The big issue with Fournette's weight is that it may indicate that his ankle has taken longer than expected to heal and he hasn't been able to train sufficiently for the combine. His playing weight in 2015 was 225. Last year he was ten to fifteen pounds heavier due to the injury.

Yeah the ankle is the only question I have about Fournette, I figure we should hear more about it after/during the combine.

Your team has a poo poo rear end running game and no offense outside of Cam. Leonard Fournette has continuously proven to be a special talent when healthy and has the ability to be a bunch of different threats out of the backfield. Get over it.

On side news, Njoku measured in at 82" on his wingspan. That's nuts.

Who gives a poo poo?

The Panthers don't have a single starting caliber tackle on the roster.

It doesn't matter how great a runner he is if he's having to break two tackles to get out of the backfield.

If only there was a way to gain a player besides using a first round pick. Like if there were more rounds or perhaps a period during the season where you could sign players that aren't on a contract.

you know that sword cuts both ways. Plenty of time to pick up a running back.

I'd rather the panthers utilize their best cost control option on one of their more glaring areas of need than cash in their most valuable chip on another running back.

I mean, as much as the panthers need O-Line, who the gently caress are you taking top 10 in this draft? Cam Robinson? Hope that Ramcyzk or Bolles are going to be ready for the show after one season of FBS football? Take the best guy on the board and hope for the best


I mean, I'd still prefer Hooker if he's there than Fournette, sure, but I know it ain't happening

Even a bust at OT with the 8th pick is an unbelievable upgrade. This is the team that took Division II interior linemen one pick ahead of Cordy Glenn and David Bakhtiari in back-to-back drafts.

BPA only works if that player is going to consistently see the field & nobody can guarantee that behind a patchwork O-line.

You're right it does go both ways. I prefer to do the method where you draft the best player available instead of rushing to fill a valuable spot with a lovely prospect (cough ereck loving flowers)
