Panthers WR Curtis Samuel has ‘small pro

cedure to fix irregular heartbeat’; likely out for season opener Stitched Luke Kuechly Jersey , per report Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel has been notably absent from practice for the last few days, and today we found out the reason why—he had a small procedure done to fix an irregular heartbeat, according to NFL insider Ian Rapoport.Earlier today Jourdan Rodrigue of The Charlotte Observer reported that Samuel is dealing with a ‘medical issue’ and that Panthers head coach Ron Rivera wasn’t sure of the details surrounding Samuel’s condition. Rapoport’s report seems to give more clarification as to what ‘medical issue’ Samuel has been dealing with.There are no reports of the Panthers making any roster moves at the moment, so it’s possible the issue isn’t too serious. Samuel was poised to have a breakout year after an injury plagued rookie season in 2017, so hopefully he’s back on the field soon. I’m not a doctor and I’m not going to pretend to be one, so I can’t provide any accurate information on what constitutes a ‘small’ procedure or how soon Samuel will be able to return to action. Instead Youth Bruce Irvin Jersey , I’ll just state the obvious—I hope Samuel is okay, regardless of his status for playing this Sunday or any time in the near future. We’ll have more on this story whenever information becomes available. Addressing the defensive end position needs to be a priority in the 2019 draft. It wouldn’t be surprising to see Carolina invest a first or second round pick at the position. But since the Panthers still have their picks in Rounds 4 through 6 (they traded Round 7 in the 2017 Kevon Seymour deal) I wanted to explore how likely it would be for Carolina to land a solid defensive end in the later rounds. You know, finding a “sleeper”, a term almost all of us have used before with either late Panthers picks in years past or during our own fantasy drafts. But how likely is it that the Panthers can actually land a solid defensive end in the late rounds? One way to assess this is to simply look at the draft position of today’s “good” defensive ends. For “good” defensive ends I used Football Reference’s Approximate Value (AV) from 2018 and found a natural cutoff point at an AV of five or higher. I then cross-referenced AV with free, public data from Pro Football Focus and feel comfortable that while this list isn’t perfect, it’s at least directionally correct (full spreadsheet here). Here are the draft positions of the Top 32 defensive ends in 2018 as rated by AV:Not surprisingly Stitched Bruce Irvin Jersey , 18 of the 32 best defensive ends in 2018 were drafted in the first two rounds, but it did raise my eyebrows a bit to see an even split of nine first rounders and nine second rounders. Only six of the top 32 were drafted between rounds 4 through 7, so the odds aren’t great for the Panthers finding a sleeper. As a frame of reference, the six solid defensive ends drafted in the later rounds are Everson Griffen (4th), Alex Okafor (4th), Brent Urban (4th) Youth Graham Gano Jersey , D.J. Reader (5th), Darius Philon (6th), and Stephen Weatherly (7th). Now, let’s look at the “hit rate” of late-round picks at defensive end. While this is an arbitrary number on my part, a solid NFL career can last eight years if not longer. Based on data from Football Reference a total of 92 defensive ends were drafted in Round 4 or later between 2011 and 2018. In all, of the 92 defensive ends drafted between Round 4 and 7 over the last eight years only six are among the NFL’s Top 32 Stitched Graham Gano Jersey , putting the hit rate at just 6.5 percent (six of 92). Another interesting observation is four undrafted free agents are among the NFL’s better defensive ends. This includes our very own Mario Addison, Romeo Okwara, Michael Bennett, and Cameron Wake. However, every year upwards of 500 UDFAs get signed every year, so good luck if that’s your path forward. If history continues to repeat itself the Panthers aren’t going to find a quality starter in the back half of the draft Youth Wes Horton Jersey , though I would be delighted if they proved me wrong. This isn’t a shocking conclusion in and of itself, but it really illustrates just how rare it is to find true quality at defensive end in Round 4 or later. If anyone is holding out hope for a late-round defensive end sleeper, it’s probably time to wake up and smell the data.
