I love this. You're not out of anything by giving the guy a shot.

Addison is a good example of a late bloomer who found his niche.  We just cant draft another Everette Brown. 

That's my concern with this guy. The economy's already starting to resemble 2009, let's not make the draft do the same.

I've hoped that for a long time now. I don't think there's much to see here. Sadly. I'd love to be proven wrong by the guy, though.

 

I haven't forgotten the splash plays he made when subbing for Brian Burns, or the fact he was one of two guys on defense who played well the last game I attended.

I keep thinking about Charles Johnson and Greg Hardy--both emerged in year 3.  However, they are expendable, and if your line chart is not trending upwards, you are sitting still or falling behind.   They have not been that bad when they play, but we need a difference maker.

Barno needs to stay healthy and he can be a Mario Addison, Al Wallace-type second-teamer.

I figured you meant the Notre Dame DE.

He was a Clemson Tiger. He ain't coming here. 

He's not a presumptive draft pick. He's OK to join.

 Best PLAYER this team has ever had, IMHO…. But…

He’s obviously a very complicated man. I can’t judge him. 

He's not in the top three, let alone No. 1.

Texas + South Carolina players = Carolina Longc0cks

Holding both hands up while still being in a three-point stance.

Charlie has the Panthers picking three Texas players. Carolina Longhorns?

Not to poop on this, but I do not see him as a 3-4 fit. I mean hybrid DL and he's a freak. Freaks are easy to fit, but he's too small for end this year and he's never covered TEs, WRs, or RBs on passing routes so OLB is a long path. 

There's always pure 4-3 guys and pure 3-4 guys. Same for pure zone CBs. I think Williams is gifted and tough, but he's a pure 4-3 guy.  

I'm not saying he's the right pick or the worst pick, I'm just saying he's the pick.

Who's making the "Round 1, Panthers Select Mykel Williams" thread?

I remember when Mykel Williams’ name was Everette Brown.

I also will maintain that we will never truly know what kind of GM Fitterer was.

I say he was dogshit.

Keeping things on track, 2021 was a decent-to-good draft. The ones immediately preceding it and every one after it were ass, so that also inflates it a bit.

Kicked Cincinnati's ass 2-0 yesterday. Patrick Agyemang might be Him.

If McMillan played for Purdue, no one on here would be interested in him.

Morgan is another Hurney having no idea how to handle contracts.

What would you have paid?

I'm indifferent to it. I see it as a necessary expense that they are paying a high price for due to past mismanagement and decades of terrible drafting. 

I reacted in much the same way when Rob Hunt was paid a lot of cash to come here last year. Then he made the Pro Bowl. Nearly every deal by every team today has been an overpay of some sort. Either you spend money from a rising cap to get better players, or you don't.

Not sure how I feel about it yet. The endless optimists in this thread love it, and the endless pessimists hate it, so nothing to sway me yet.

Sports Illustrated picked the Panthers to finish last in the NFC South in 2003 and 2015.

The Panthers went to the Super Bowl both years. 

Yeah, yesterday was as trash as the home opener was awesome. Pick up some points this weekend and all is well.

Week 1: at Seattle, 2-2 draw
Week 2: vs. Atlanta, 2-0 win

Off to a strong start. Discuss.

Raiders fans called him "Dropvante" last year. Pass.

That word might not be the best choice.  A large percentage is opinion and baseless speculation. 

I don't think you know the difference between sports columnists and sports reporters.

Probably also like Velus Jones.
