More importantly for us Da’Norris Searcy Jersey 2019 , it keeps a possible vengeful Davis out of the NFC South, where he would probably inflict maximum damage to us at least twice a year.I hoped I would never see a day where Thomas Davis would ever wear a different uniform, but it still makes absolute sense why the Panthers had to move on from him this offseason. Faced with a decisive year where they must get the longest look possible at Shaq Thompson for the good of the future of the team, having TD around would make it nearly impossible to really pass the reigns over. I hope Greg Little Carolina Panthers Jersey , as I’m sure all of you do, that when Davis Sr. does decide to retire he will come back and do it here, and take his rightful and spiritual spot next to Sam Mills clad in all bronze.

Rarely is there consensus on any player and this edition is no different. What is different is Pro Football Focus has developed their ranking based on their own performance evaluations which favor production and game ratings over athleticism and potential.Pro Football Focus top 50 Big BoardSurprises in the Top 10While quarterback Kyler Murray is often the top selection for the Cardinals in many mock drafts I have yet to see him as the top ranked prospect. This ranking smells like someone trying to justify their mock draft selection for the Cardinals which honestly just doesn’t make sense for a team that drafted a quarterback in the first round last year. Murray may well be the top quarterback in this draft class but I just didn’t see enough from him to say he is the top player.The highest I’ve seen Tillery ranked before this was at the bottom of the first round but most rank him as a middle second round pick if not lower. Even if a team thinks Tillery is worth this ranking why spend such a high pick on him when he should still be there in the second round? Especially given the high number of defensive linemen with first round grades. Still if PFF is correct he might be a second round steal just as Kawann Short was.Other first round surprisesWhile that is an impressive statistic, I guess Blue Greg Little Jersey , few consider Arcega-Whiteside in the top five at his position much less in the top twenty-five. He may be great at contested catches but isn’t that what was said about Devin Funchess? I prefer wide receivers that don’t need to contest a catch because they have created separation. Hence I want no part of this guy this early in the draft.While I would be shocked to see Grier drafted in the first round I can see several teams going afte rhim early on day two. He might very well be worth it. Would you believe Winovich is ranked higher than Clelin Ferrell (35),Montez Sweat (46) and Rashan Gary (48) and on this big board? This is a great example of what I was referring to earlier about the rankings being skewed towards their own evaluations and nothing else. I’m sure you’ve seen Sweat and Gary in the top ten in most mock drafts. Perhaps the mock drafters are being skewed by athleticism and potential? Heaven forbid. Other surprisesHere’s another guy rated higher than Sweat and Gary due to his grades and ability to avoid injury. While the NFL does place value on those sorts of things they prefer athleticism and potential when it comes to investing high draft picks. Allen will probably be a good, solid player for some NFL team. I just think they won’t spend such a high pick on him nor would they bypass players with more potential but maybe not the production of Allen.
