Looks like they maybe actually do like Wallace after all

That Superbowl commercial being like the old ESPN commercials = fantastic

Two thirds for Greenard with a new 4yr 100m deal with Philly.

ILB that can be moved around and played off the edge and as a blitzer from the middle.

I laughed watching ESPN because they called Jake Delhomme as Lee Hunter.

Eli Stowers I'll call my shot, if he's there...

Most had CJ Allen and Anthony Hill rated ahead of him. Closer rating wise to Golday than to Allen or Hill

He's falling because a bunch of teams failed him on his physical because of his knee.

I like CJ Allen or Jake Golday.

No punishment for the hit. Hall isn't dirty, just looked worse than it was because of the helmet flying off.

Raiders traded pick to Houston

Til something is done about portal hopping that's legally enforceable, this is what college sports will look like. Levels the playing field a lot, now all you need is one donor willing to write a check to Kickstart a program. Donor writes check Make tourney Take tourney money and invest it into program on getting players. Rinse and repeat, Have a bad year, check from donor to restart the process but as long as you make the tournament, any program can keep that cycle up now.

6-7 and another 3-5 that have first round talent. Very weak at the top

Really raw, needs refinement, hasn't played a ton at oline, only bulked up recently and his combine drills were pretty awful.

That's short-sighted, doesn't count for the fact that most drafts have somewhere between 14-16 players with real first round grades, doesn't account for the fact that some positions take longer than others for prospects to adapt to the NFL, doesn't account for the low hit rate of draft picks in general including the first round.

The other reason I like the pick is this is a weak draft first round talent wise. "What I mean is actual prospects with a true first round grade, it's usually around 14-16, this draft is closer to 10-12." There probably wasn't another player on the Panthers board that any where close to a first round grade besides for Freeling.

35m in dead cap space, says not likely

I think the Panthers have one of the best group of Oline coaches in the NFL, so I think it's more likely than not that he reaches his ceiling in Carolina. Which means I think they drafted a 10+ year starting probowl LT at 19th overall. Pretty good deal if you ask me. I said it in one of these threads, great pick for the 2027-2028 Panthers and beyond.

If he ends up being a probowl LT for 10 years but doesn't start this year... It's a wasted pick????

It sounds like I hate the pick but I don't, he just doesn't help this year's team much. If the staff can fix the technique issues, you've got a 10+ year probowl LT. Which immediately makes this a good pick because at 19 in the first, the gamble is 100% worth it.

I doubt Ikem plays this year at all. That said, for Freeling to start and play well means the oline staff needs a raise, medals, and statues outside the stadium.

That's absolutely terrifying if you play behind that line if he sees the field for anything besides being an extra lineman on goal line rushes 5-6 times a game. His technique is awful, his combine drills were worse than dreadful... but he's got the tools to be a 10-12 year probowl LT if they sit him and help fix the technique issues.

They are still in the same spot injury wise. Well, they hope they are at least. He's a great pick for the 2027-2028 Panthers team but not so much so for the 2026-2027 team. Even those that like the pick, admit it's a punt for the upcoming season as he's not likely to make a difference this season.

What this taught me is that if Dan Morgan says he's not going to do something in the draft when asked, expect him to do exactly what he said he wouldn't do. Lmfao

Who the hell thinks he's pro ready???? I can't think of a single person who thinks that legitimately. Everyone who does mocks and scouts thinks he needs to sit one or two years with good oline coaches
