Carolina Panthers

[HisIceness]

Panthers select DJ Moore, a WR from Maryland 24th overall.

I haven't payed any attention to Maryland since they left the ACC and from what I understand they've sucked hard in the Big Ten, but this seems like a good pick.

After looking at Moore's highlights I think he'll be a really good fit in the Panthers offense. You can line him, Samuel, CMC, and Byrd up in the slots, or put him and Funchess outside, with CMC, Samuel, Olsen and Byrd to work the middle

 

[Chrispy]

Between Torrey Smith and DJ Moore I think the Panthers have replaced Ginn. Moore can take the return game and adds a short game component; Smith definitely stretches the field like Ginn did.

 

[CandyCanes]

Steve Smith thinks he's the next Steve Smith.

 

[Panthaz89]

I think that 3rd rounder listed at CB might make a pretty good SS for us.

 

[Canes]

I like all of our picks so far. There are arguments about how there might have been better players/better fits for different positional needs but I think all of the current picks could be solid players eventually. Moore has franchise potential. Thomas could be a great #2 TE. Haynes at the very least should be a good pass rusher. The DBs are pretty athletic/versatile.

Hope we can add a few late round/UDFA RBs and safeties.

Seems to be a pretty good overall haul.

David Tepper is supposedly finalizing paperwork to complete the purchase of the Carolina Panthers from Jerry Richardson.

I heard there was a game last night.

Once he got over the jitters, thought Heinicke didn't look half bad. DJ Moore is the real deal. Cam's gonna have some talent to play pitch and catch with.

 

[WreckingCrew]

Didn't see the first half, so can't comment. I know we were playing like our 15th string probably by the end of the game, but I think we were missing about 4-5 easy tackles per play the last couple drives...led to some easy big yards by the QB with everyone falling down behind him. Bit concerning, but again, hopefully that was some lower on the food-chain players. Heinicke definitely looked pretty decent towards the end, that one TD pass was a thing of pure beauty to drop down, something you rarely see out of Cam in the Red Zone (usually it's 10 yards overhead)

It’s gonna be hard for regular season football to top this.



Kelvin Benjamin failing to get separation, as usual.

Benjamin played last night like it was the Superb Owl he never got to play in. Good for him he went up against one of the worst corners on our team a lot of the time. But yeah, he looked like a little bitch in that exchange before the game. Another twitter tough guy.

I liked Heinicke more than Gilbert, but both scare me to death if they actually have to play. Agreed on DJ Moore. He was dynamite with the ball in his hands. He has the ability to make guys miss in the open field and he showed he can catch the ball down field as well. Really excited about him.

 

[HisIceness]

I liked the way Cam told Thomas Davis to step aside, that made me laugh

 

[Stickpucker]

Dang bro he left him hangin'

 

[HisIceness]

They won tonight. It was swell

 

[Novacane]

How many injuries away are the Panthers from lining a trash can up at OT?

 

[Lucky Lindy]

That trash can is probably better than Matt Kalil anyway.

 

[Wolfpuck]

That trash can is probably better than Matt Kalil anyway.

Cheaper too.

 

[Tryamw]

That trash can is probably better than Matt Kalil anyway.

Probably???? I prefer to think Most likely....

 

[Unsustainable]

That trash can is probably better than Matt Kalil anyway.

And less injury prone

 

[Canes]

It really annoys me that our last first round pick spent on an offensive lineman was Jeff Otah. No wonder our OL is usually always a patchwork of castoffs and trash.

 

[HisIceness]

Jeff Otah. Now that's a name I haven't heard in a while.

 

[Unsustainable]

Jeff Otah. Now that's a name I haven't heard in a while.

I believe it was him who lived in the same building as a friend of mine, he would hang out in the restaurant on the 1st floor and play D&D from what he said.

 

[Canes]

Jeff Otah. Now that's a name I haven't heard in a while.

He's the only other OL we have drafted in the 1st round besides Jordan Gross this century, though we did draft an OL with one of our firsts in the inaugural season's draft.
