Verge, I’ve seen that you really like Mykel. Can you share some insights in to why so I can be prepared if we pick him? I’ve only watched a few Georgia games and I’ve barely noticed him, so I must have missed something.

This was a really interesting one. Historically his mock draft is not great, but his top 50 is really good. So this should not be too far off from how teams have players ranked.

He could make sense as a trade back option. So it makes sense to bring him in for a visit?

Not sure if it is draft fatigue or not. A lot of times the analysts are wrong and get closer to what actual NFL people think the closer the draft gets. This might have been the true direction for a long time.

Something is just off, I would steer way clear of him

That’s where I’m at as well, I have a few other players I’d rather have, but I would also be excited with T-Mac.

So essentially he would have run ~4.65 at the combine. Kind of what was expected if I recall correctly. And good for his size.

That makes a lot of sense, I didn’t realize he didn’t do the drills, I thought he aced those as well. Thanks again for sharing. I was all in on Shemar before this tbh.

Thanks for sharing, this is super interesting and odd at the same time. A super athletic player that can’t do those things. Wouldn’t that have shown in any of the drills at the combine? If not they are clearly missing some drills.

I think we quickly sign a NT in Jones or Ford, and a somewhat expensive safety. Then we’ll take a step back. I would think we sign an edge at some point as well.

Well if we want someone younger that creates a lot of pressures and is good vs. run, there is a certain edge player from TA&M in the draft…

Unless I remember this incorrectly, players that stand out at the senior bowl generally do really well in the NFL.

I’m with you on Stewart, would be very happy with him at 8.

I have no problem getting a starting quality safety and d-lineman in FA, that will open up the draft and would give our defense the potential to be ok to good this year. A good safety is a must in Evero’s defense.

Agree with this. Mykel is a hard no. If you think you can start converting pressures into sacks for Stewart, I’m all in.

I still think Graham might be there when we pick, him measuring below 300 and shorter arms (if I got that right) might be our luck.

I’m kind of there as well, he is a little bit smaller than I thought. I still think he’ll be a very good player, but that height makes me a bit hesitant.

The Shemar has no production thing is not true unless you only look at sacks. He’s very disruptive. However he needs to convert more of his pressure in to sacks, though I think that will come. But it’s not like he’s invisible when he’s on the field. I’m intrigued by him overall as an edge in our 3-4. Here’s from Dane Brugler: Stewart explodes out of his stance and is capable of creating immediate knockback or winning high side with upfield burst/flexibility. He is the type of prospect who will test the “traits over production” slogan to which many NFL teams subscribe, as he never had more than 1.5 sacks in any of his three seasons. However, his tape shows a far more disruptive player than his numbers suggest — he led the Aggies in pressures (39) in 2024.

He had a lot of production in college, I think he had close to 40 QB pressures and a lot of tackles in 2024. His sack total was low, but he had a lot of impact to the game.

You might be right, I’ve just seen a lot about him lately, even being talked about as QB2. I wonder if he is way higher with teams vs. the draft analyst group. Every year there are a few players that come out of nowhere. But it might be a stretch, no doubt

It sounds like QB Tyler Slough is flying up the draft boards, he’s a bit older, but so was Nix, Penix etc. He might, just might, be someone teams want to trade up to get around where we pick

Fans would not do great in free agency, however sadly a lot of fans would do better than many front offices in the draft by simply using something like Brugler’s draft guide. It is shocking how bad many front offices are in the draft. The overthinking and over analyzing is at its peak.

Not convinced Graham will be gone tbh.

People are weird. Andy is a relatively cheap and very experienced backup. He’s well liked on the team and is a good leader overall. We’re not going to get a second starter challenging Bryce, that is not in the cards for this year.

He can say what he wants to, and we can call him out for being a self absorbed ass. The team was bad but there was a lot of guys who gave it their all and knew how to prepare, there just wasn’t enough of them. When he joined the team it was documented that he initially was a poor leader himself, essentially had to be talked to and coached up to become a leader by Thomas Davis. Also, Cam was the one who made one of the biggest business decisions in Panthers history in the Superbowl, while everyone else did everything they could to get that fumble. So this overall is pathetic from him, and very disappointing overall.
