The Carolina Panthers had a very good draft grade according to several sources. They didn't draft many flashy playmakers but they strengthened the trenches with a possible day one starter at left tackle on the offensive line in Monroe Freeland from Georgia and an All American nose tackle from Texas A/M named Lee Hunter in the second round. The third round draft pick Chris Brazzell at wide receiver is tall, fast (4.3 speed) and led the SEC in yards per game. Add a starting caliber center, a safety and help at cornerback and linebacker in the later rounds and the Panthers may have addressed many of their needs.

I just saw that the Panthers signed former GT dual threat QB Haynes King as an undrafted free agent to a deal guaranteeing him 250K. I also realize they have 2 other QB in addition to starter Bryce.

I don’t know if you watched many GT games the last 3 years. If you did you’d know that King always gave it his all and that included taking many beatings and playing with lots of pain. He was tough personified and a great leader.

His strength was keeping the ball and making very quick moves that lead to lots of rushing yards with him often being the game’s top rusher. But he had a decent arm especially later as I recalled. His total yardage was way up there. I loved watching him!

I’m reading that he, assuming he makes the team (having 250K guaranteed helps his chances), might be brought in for short yardage plays.
