Defensive Tackle Visiting Panthers

[Jeremy Igo]

The Panthers are visiting with a highly sought after defensive tackle prospect today.....

 

Reed is a first round prospect that should be gone by the time the Panthers pick. Still, it doesn't hurt to do due diligence in case he somehow falls to 30. 

I don't see the Panthers trading up for a DT.

Height: 6-3. Weight: 311. Arm: 32. Hand 10.76. 
40 Time: 5.21. 
Projected Round (2016): 1. 
3/12/16: Reed had a solid combine workout. His 40 time wasn't special, but he did well in the field drills. In 2015, Reed totaled 53 tackles with 4.5 for a loss, one sack and two passes batted. He is a good run stuffer, but doesn't offer a lot in the pass rush. Reed does have the speed and athleticism to develop more pass-rushing skills as a professional though. At the Senior Bowl, he flashed some of his pass-rush potential. Sources said that Reed might end up as a top-25 pick. 

8/22/15: Reed was an All-SEC honorable mention in 2014. He was a quality run defender for Alabama with 55 tackles, 6.5 for a loss, one sack, and five passes broken up. Reed needs to improve his pass rush to rise as a senior.

As much as I would love to see it, Rivera has said he is a DT and will stay there except for the occasional play here and there.

DG due his due diligence...Reed may drop if there is a run on pass rushers or CB. There also could be the possibility of a couple players being overdrafted and Reed sliding down to us.

Jarran Reed is a local kid he is from goldsboro.....which pretty much means he is ready for anything because goldsboro is rough

I would think drafting Reed in the first would be a very bad sign for Star's long term status with the team.

...or a bad sign in regards to how negotiations with Short are going.

Smokescreen! 

Edit: I really believe it this time.

We seem to really like this guy, I wouldn't discount Reed or Butler at #30.

Star and KK were better than Reed in college---notably better in my estimation. Getty gave both Star and KK first round grades. I don't see him drafting a DT with basically zero pass rushing skills in the first round. Reed is stout against the run, but is mediocre against the pass. Not saying that he can't be coached up, but he is one dimensional right now.

I'm actually kinda worried that we haven't heard much about his extension yet.

If you follow him on twitter he is going overboard to get fan support behind him...not sure if that is just how he is, or if he is using it as a tool.

On a somewhat related note, Fletcher Cox reportedly turned down $60M guaranteed from the Eagles. Short will likely be in the same contract ballpark as Cox as well as Wilkerson. Elite DTs ain't cheap.
