I don't see any mocks with him the 1st lately but that don't mean much a nothin. I saw one by Mel a few months ago that had him there but I haven't paid attention recently to any others. I did see an article about some scouts raving about his talent though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should expect him to go in the 2nd or third unless someone falls in love with him like the chiefs did dee ford.BUT MANNNNNNNNNN I am going to be irate when holland slips slips and sliiiiiiiiiiiips further down the board. He is the 1 guy who should of came back. It is like he had his mind made up he was gone no matter what. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get 3 guys in the first 3 rounds, I'd be pretty happy. What are they saying about Braden Smith? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had more to gain by coming back than anyone else we had. He only had 1 good full season on tape. Now that would be enough if he was a shorts and t shirt Jesus warrior but he is not. He does not have the protoypical NFL measurables. So for a guy like him who is viewed as a tweener he needed to put another great season on tape to show he was not a fluke and to make gm's and scouts remove any doubt about his ability with not ideal measurables. O and braden smith and KJ have been moving up draft boards all off season. Most have him in the 2nd and third rounds. Buzz about him being a extremely safe non bust prospect. Braden that is.

Agreed. Anything past third is worth coming back for. Doubt he cared about draft positioning though- he just wants to play in tbe NFL AT ALL COSTS.

It reminds me of these college bball dudes who are not even going to be drafted who just come out because they decided they were going to do so no matter what. Holland is the guy who has most fallen for us since he declared on mocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempting to say that he would play his way into real money when his rookie contract is up, but I know that in the NFL that they feel a need to play the guys they pay for, so he might not ever get that chance. Man, that would suck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norv has plenty weapons at his disposal. If Curtis can come back healthy and produce than cam has every kind of weapon he needs. Torrey, Jarius, DJ,Curtis,Olsen,CMC, Funchess and now CJ. I hope CAP gets some meaningful carries as well. I love it! Anderson is a short and stout bowling ball and he will fit the Panthers #keeppounding persona. Keep giving Cam some weapons! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 We need to keep in mind that Pettway did one thing very well for a very short period of time, and it was in an offense in which another guy was doing just as well before getting hurt. It's a popular narrative that our coaches were idiots for not having Pettway starting from day 1, but it's entirely possible that he's just not a particularly great/complete running back. And, yeah, he probably failed to impress on most of the off-the-field assessments. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think back to that Arky game last year when KP went through them like tissue paper, and the regret that we didn’t have him waiting in the wings for UGA in the SECCG.
