Looking at our defense and the potential BPAs, these are two to watch out for.  At the end of the day, I don't see us grabbing a top flight DE in the FA.  Maybe Robert Ayers (a long shot) but nothing long term.  I also think there's a variety of positions possible at our 1st pick but for those hoping for a DL, one of these two could be your bet: (Keep an eye on them in Round 1 for us)

This kid has a mean streak and an awesome attitude.  It seems he can line up almost anywhere on a 4-3 or 3-4 and that's damn impressive given his size.  He probably needs to boost up in some areas but it's in coachable spots.

If we sign Coples, who will most likely play DT, then I doubt we'll be drafting a DT.

OR...we could be drafting KK's replacement. Gman says it takes 3 years for them to develop. That's when we could be losing KK. Kinda makes sense to hedge your long term bets, by drafting a DT this year to replace KK in 3 years. Just in case.

 

IF we sign a decent to good FA DE. I could see us not even drafting a DE. We would have Ealy and the vet. Which allows us to continue to develop our kids. We have 3 we really like. Addison, Horton, and Delaire. 2 of the 3 are coming into their crucial 3rd years. We have to see what we have in them in terms of long term benefits. And Delaire showed he still has some work to do to fulfill all that potential, but he flashed enough to show he deserves the effort.

 

 

So IMO, we only have room for 2 additions to the D-line. 1 each at DE and DT to give us our 9 total. I see a vet at DE, and a draft pick at DT. The Vet to help with leadership and mentoring, as well as still allowing us to continue to develop our kids. And a draft pick at DT to eventually replace KK. Whom I believe will eventually price himself off our team. He gon be good.

      I kinda hate getting our pick spoiled but at least the Huddle has more Time to debate

      Thats how GMs get fired.  Sure Bowers is the anomaly but the history of first round TE's is fuging brutal at best.  Now you want to pick one in the top 10?  Oof.  You want to play with fire, go ahead and be my guest but dont go crying when your ass is fired morgan.   But all you guys pining for Warren need to realize its not going to happen, even morgan isnt that stupid and it shows by the lack of top 30 visit.   https://www.profootballnetwork.com/tight-ends-first-round/

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      Chicago will not trade up for a Jeanty.  Thinking a team will trade up to the top 5 for a RB with the idea of finding trading partner for your current RB1 is a LONG shot proposition for the Jags (I have heard the same rumblings about this scenario).  I honestly think they are putting out smoke just hoping to move back.  At #5 there should be more value and this draft is very thin with elite talent at the top.  Again, they are simply trying to fabricate a scenario to move back and get more value.

      UPDATE:  CHARLIE CAMPBELL HAS CHANGED THE PROJECTION OF THE PANTHERS SELECTION. HE NOW PROJECTS JALON WALKER TO GO TO THE RAIDERS AT 6.  HE PROJECTS MYCHEL WILLIAMS TO GO TO THE PANTHERS AT 8.  6. Las Vegas Raiders: Jalon Walker, OLB, Georgia Pete Carroll has always placed an emphasis on drafting pass rushers and addressing the defensive front seven. Las Vegas could use linebacker help as well. Having Walker at Sam linebacker could be similar to Carroll using Bruce Irvin as a Sam in Seattle, and give the Raiders a pass rushing trio with Maxx Crosby and Tyree Wilson. Walker is also a high-character leader who will help the culture reset under another new regime in Las Vegas. Walker is a dangerous edge rusher for the Bulldogs, showing speed and athleticism off the edge. In 2024, he had 61 tackles with 6.5 sacks and two passes broken up. Walker had five sacks as a rotational player in 2023. The 6-foot-2, 245-pounder is too undersized to be a base edge rusher in the NFL, so he will have to be a linebacker who rotates to rush off the edge in the subpackage.   8. Carolina Panthers: Mykel Williams, DE, Georgia The Panthers need a true replacement for Brian Burns. Williams gives them a talented edge rusher that also has size to defend the run. In 2024, Williams had 21 tackles, five sacks, and two forced fumbles thus far. He missed the month of September with an injury. Williams totaled 16 tackles, 4.5 sacks, and two passes batted in 2023. As a freshman backup in 2022, he recorded 4.5 sacks and 28 tackles. The 6-foot-5, 265-pounder has a lot of upside and an excellent skill set.
