This is excellent

If we go safety #19 (using Dane Brugler's top 100) these players will be our options 2nd round @51 Value would be another defensive player

Advertisement 44 R Mason ThomasEDGE 10Oklahoma Undersized, but plays fast; should be able to find a meaningful NFL role. 45 Brandon CisseCB 7South Carolina Unrefined but promising; late to anticipate routes, but has NFL speed. 46 CJ AllenLB 3Georgia Coachable, high-IQ defender who’s often a step ahead of his teammates; a likely starter. 47 Chris BellWR 8Louisville A rare NFL combination: big, strong and explosive. Should start when he’s healthy. 48 Jake GoldayLB 4Cincinnati Still unrefined, but his size, speed and ascending skill set are all encouraging. 49 Gabe JacasEDGE 11Illinois A quick, aggressive pass rusher whose power and technique should translate well in the NFL. 50 Anthony Hill Jr.LB 5Texas A long, rangy athlete who needs to improve his anticipation and instincts. 51 Jadarian PriceRB 2Notre Dame A starting-caliber talent with work to do in pass-catching and ball security. 52 Caleb BanksDT 4Florida A towering athlete with power and twitch; his injury history may give some teams pause. 53 Keionte ScottS 4Miami Plays like a linebacker in a cornerback’s body; may give the right team meaningful snaps. 54 Keyron CrawfordEDGE 12Auburn Lacks ideal size, length and power, but has the skill set to contribute right away. 55 Lee HunterDT 5Texas Tech Strong and instinctive as a run defender, but limited on passing downs. 56 Treydan StukesCB 8Arizona An instinctive athlete with confidence and versatility; will fit best in a nickel defense. 57 Emmanuel PregnonG 3Oregon Checks the boxes NFL teams look for, and a great fit for a gap scheme. 58 Malachi FieldsWR 9Notre Dame Shades of Michael Pittman, but must work on expanding his route tree. 59 Antonio WilliamsWR 10Clemson A controlled, fluid athlete who projects best in the slot.

From Bill Barnwell March 18th article: What's missing: Safety. General manager Dan Morgan and his staff have been aggressive in plugging holes on Carolina's roster this offseason. The NFC South champs made major additions to their defense in signing Jaelan Phillips from the Eagles and Devin Lloyd from the Jags, importing two young contributors who played their best football in 2025. The one place left un-upgraded for the Panthers is at safety. Tre'von Moehrig was very good in his debut season with the team, creating 14 tackles for loss. But Nick Scott has looked overmatched in coverage and allowed a number of big run plays for opposing teams with missed tackles. Scott has sort of held a job by default for a rebuilding Panthers team given his experience with defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero, but my hope was that the Panthers would upgrade on him in 2026 https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48227677/2026-nfl-free-agency-barnwell-20-contenders-weaknesses-signings-trades-draft#car

Love Mrs. Doubtfire, absolute classic

Joe also said this last year https://x.com/bthatespanthers/status/2045226416019481039?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

I believe Cowboys secondary coach was his ex-college coach

All the Thieneman connections this week: +Josh thinks it’s OL, WR, or Thieneman +Joe Person article this morning says Thieneman at the top of the list +Daniel Jeremiah clip this week says that at the senior bowl he heard they wanted edge or safety and edge was taken care of in FA Might be something or might be nothing #Panthers https://x.com/threesandtds24/status/2045206041546371419?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

Out very own Verge If any of -Makai Lemon -Carnell Tate -Jordan Tyson Are available at 19, expect them to be a Panther. If not? Dillon Thieneman seems like a safe bet. #Panthers

A really good article by @josephperson & @nickbaumgardner. @josephperson on @oregonfootball S Dillon Thieneman if he’s available at pick 19 for the #Panthers: #KeepPounding “If Thieneman is available and the first round hasn’t gotten too funky, he’s the #Panthers’ pick.” https://x.com/panthersbreakd/status/2045181000448102716?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

Indeed. Long overdue.

interesting point
