    • Checks boxes for height, weight and arm length
    • Flies out of his stance and can win off the ball with burst and jab steps
    • Looks to threaten high-side with speed and well-timed shoulder dips
    • Polished up spin move in 2024, giving him backdoor access to the pocket
    • Active on stunts and games, which creates openings to show off his closing speed
    • Offside penalties dropped from two in 2023 to zero in 2024
    • Flashes juice in pursuit to chase down backside runs — his motor was noticeably better in 2024 than 2023
    • Additional mass helped him stand his ground as an edge setter
    • Used extensively in coverage at Florida; had spot drops in underneath zone at Ole Miss
    • Led team in sacks each of past three seasons (10.5 sacks in 2024 are second most in a season in Rebels history)

    Honestly the board fell kind of in our favor in this scenario of TMAC being the pick. Some good talent that was expected to go Round 1, fell. Have to navigate this the right way though. 

    Yeah the run on OL & a QB2 going allowed for some strong defensive talent to slip.  Now, there's some QBs, RBs, TEs, & WRs that are very much in play at the top of this round. 

    CLE go QB, WR, RB, TE

    NE could go WR, OL, TE

    HOU needs OL help badly

    Titans could use protection for Ward - or WR/TE

    Raiders & Bears could go OL (although they do have some D needs)

     

     

     

     

    A fringe 1st on D could be there in the 40s.

    REPORT: Panthers attempting to move up in the 2nd round

    in Carolina Panthers

    Posted

    Yep - others mentioned it but just slapping on one of our 4ths gets us at best to the mid/late 40s.  

    Add just one of our (3) 5ths, that's early 40s for 57+114+140, we keep our high 3rd in tact.  

    --

    An interesting one is CLE with pick 36.   They've already got 33, 67, and also have a later 3rd at 99.  

    36+99 is 665 on charts

    our 57+74+114+140 is near equal value.  So that's reducing our overall picks down to 7, but still, nice.    

    So could move wayy up in the 2nd, back in the third, and you're giving up one of our 4ths, one of our 5ths. 

    Just floating ideas

    Round 2 - Panthers Select Nic Scourton at pick 51

    in Carolina Panthers

    Posted

    okytxrqlccpot1lckobh.jpg

    Nic Scourton EDGE/DE Texas A&M 6'3 257  81" span

    Preseason top-10 rated guy, some had him rated late-1st, Really young kid, high upside. 

    Quote

    A thickly built, high-motor rusher, Scourton is quick to shoot his hands, create force and walk blockers into the pocket, but the next step in his development will be diversifying his attack by setting up counters and stacking moves. His hustle also stands out in the run game and directly leads to production (29 tackles for loss over his last 23 games). Overall, Scourton is a banshee off the edge with the quickness and power to work half-a-man and wear down blockers. His game plan is overly reliant on effort and relatively basic, though, because of his average athletic tools. His aggressive worker-bee play style should translate to starting snaps in the NFL.

    Thickly built, especially in his legs and bubble

    Played at 285 pounds in 2024, but he plans to stay at 265 pounds in the NFL

    Physical, attacking hands and tries to run through blockers

    Often hooked/pulled, and his activity attracts holding calls

    Adequate snap anticipation to get rolling downhill

    Rush arsenal is a work in progress, but he’ll break out a cross-chop and double-hand swipe at the top of his rush

    Moves with fluidity in his lower body and loves to unleash a spin move (with mixed results)

    Determined in the run game and makes offenses pay for trying to block him front-side with a tight end

    Sniffs out screens and shows good read and react when dropping and covering areas

    Average speed, but his pursuit effort is outstanding, especially from the back side

    Earned captain status as sophomore at Purdue and quickly ingrained himself in the Texas A&M culture

    Led both a Big Ten team and an SEC team in sacks over past two seasons

    One of the youngest players in the draft class

    Round 1 - Panthers Select Tetairoa McMillan at Pick 8

    Yea I think I feel the same way.

    It’s probably the safest pick they could have made.  TMac projects as at least a decent NFL WR.  His total bust factor is lower than Walker.

    Yeah Walker is the type that could just not make an impact. Chaissson esque. 

    Mykel didn’t have the burst

    Pearce has a screw loose.

    Green may have a dick loose.

    Graham may have edged out Tmac if there but it seemed our board was 1-Carter 2-Graham 3-Tmac (over the other front-7 guys)

    Ezeiruaku or Swinson would be excellent value that are at a similar level to these 1st rounders, with honestly less limitations and similar upside. The other offensive skill guys don’t really touch Hunter or Tmac.

    TMac is just a case of prospect fatigue.  Watching some of his highlights I'm surprised he played as well as he did with that QB play...

    Yeah there’s the guys that legit fall due to character/injury (Pearce, WJ) but then ones where it’s pure fatigue of discussion — think it happened with McMillan and Graham a bit this year.

    Not a bad plan. Of the elite QBs, Bryce probably most closely fits the Brees mold. 

    Also, our HC made his bread and butter with WRs, so let’s see what he thinks he got himself with one worth 8 overall. 

    I think people are getting lost at Canales’ potential input - the presser seemed to show he had a very good grasp on what Tmac was bringing and the type of infrastructure he wants here.

    Based on what??  ESPN has him ranked a 91.  That only below Harrison, Nabers, and Odunze putting him at WR4.  Brugler said he might be WR3 in last year's class as @Bear Handsjust stated.  Stop being so dramatic...

    Not to mention, how they’re ranked as prospects is never clean with the output. Marv Jr was this undeniable prospect but now people are really questioning if he’s a #1 with Nabers and BTJ looking like the absolute truth for their squads.

    Also a lesson- never shy from the LSU receivers — minus that one we drafted lol
