As of today, who would you draft at number 8?
theinstrumental replied to PleaseCutStewart's topic in Carolina Panthers
He jumped pretty badly and didn’t bench. Not a lot of evidence that there’s elite power to his game. Also seems like an “it’s always something” off-field guy, but nothing anybody would put their name behind or make specific. -

Jahdae Barron. Bringing plus physicality at a position where it’s normally scarce is an impactful swing. He’s going to help the character of whatever defense he’s on. I’d prefer a d-lineman, but there likely isn’t one worth 8, and there are so many in the middle rounds. Just get a dude who helps. -
Bill Barnwell Panthers mock draft trades
theinstrumental replied to Peon Awesome's topic in Carolina Panthers
I'll really hate it if they're thinking this way at all. If they don't feel good about Evero, they need to just fire him. If they're going to keep him, not align the personnel with the strategy, and then fire him when it inevitably doesn't work, then I'm going to lose faith completely. -
Isaiah Simmons is still a free agent 6'4 240
theinstrumental replied to micnificent28's topic in Carolina Panthers
As someone who was very loudly wrong about him before that draft: what I learned from his failure is the difference between violence and toughness. Simmons will hit, but he doesn’t like collisions he’s not going to win. His career highlight is still blocking a kick and then walloping the defenseless kicker. But he won’t get downhill and splash a lead blocker in the hole as a box linebacker. I could be wrong about him again, I guess. But I don’t see a role for him as a safety, and he’s not a nickel, and if he won’t/can’t do the linebacker stuff well, then I’m not sure what he’d do for us. Of course, if we do sign him, I’ll talk myself into it immediately. -
7 rd mock from superbowl nation

Those middle rounds are exactly what id wish for. But Stewart shouldn’t have a shot here. -
Bill Barnwell Panthers mock draft trades
theinstrumental replied to Peon Awesome's topic in Carolina Panthers
All these hypothetical Carter trades make me think the national guys don’t know what Evero values in an edge player. We traded away Burns, traded up for DJ Johnson, and signed Jadeveon Clooney. We want big, edge-setting outside linebackers. I love Carter, but he’s not that guy. -
Fortunately he’s dropping across pretty much all mocks and rankings that I’ve seen, and I haven’t seen any smoke lately connecting us to him. Feels like Mykel Williams is the one we have to worry about.

[Bootleg Football] The 10 Defensive Gems of the 2025 NFL Draft
theinstrumental replied to Icege's topic in Carolina Panthers
I know we’re all still dealing with the scar tissue from Jonathan Brooks’ second ACL tear, but Kevin Winston would be awesome in the second. Dude was a sure fire first rounder and is a prototypical safety prospect. -
He’ll probably be very good but he will never be fun to root for. I just don’t want to deal with it. Hope they pick someone else.

NFL.com's Chad Reuter's 4-round mock draft

I love Mukuba, hope that one works out. -
Picking a first round talent at a premier position? This isn’t crazy or new.

Panthers Prospect Visits/Meetings
theinstrumental replied to kungfoodude's topic in Carolina Panthers
That’s fine. Defensive line is deep this year, and you take advantage of that by taking late-round guys. That’s smart and he’s a good prospect.
