What Player Don’t You Want?

We have a thread about what position you don’t want to see drafted, but I want to know what player would have you triggered if they were picked at 8? And why. 
 

I’ll start. 
 

I DO NOT want us to fall in the Surtain trap. Yes his numbers reflect a first round pick, but I would not touch him in the first 15 picks. He has very pedestrian ball skills and really relies on making contact at the line of scrimmage to redirect opposing receivers. His top end speed is not impressive and if he is beat off the line, he is toast. I truly think he reaped the benefits of playing with a stellar defense. In my opinion he is the 3rd-4th best CB in this class, I just don’t see the hype when I watch his film. I would much rather have Jaycee Horn or Farley. I would be pretty disappointed if we used #8 overall on Surtain. Just my opinion. Let me hear yours.

Mac Jones.

I see no reason to pick Jones when we have Darnold. It would be a poorly used high draft pick, a complete waste. We need at least 2 OL, 1 S, 1 CB, 1 WR and maybe a TE (if there is one worthy of the pick when it’s our turn). QB is no longer a pressing need, we have enough needs to address without throwing away a pick.

Rashawn Slater. NFL evaluators don't even know if he can sustain play at left tackle and think he needs moved inside. 

"With your number 8 pick, that could be used to find a slam dunk player, Rashawn Slater left.... GUARD!!!"

I don’t let the “evaluators” let me think Rashawn can’t be a stud at LT. He has great feet, strength, and is a beast in the weight room. Just because he isn’t as big as Sewell or Darrisaw they automatically deem him a guard. If Sewell is gone, I wouldn’t be mad if we too Slater or Darrisaw. I think both have the potential to be that franchise LT we so desperately need.

Pitts. 
I say this because I was so convinced that OJ Howard, TJ Hockensen, and Eric Ebron would all be major game-changers. Pitts appears to be a stud, but I just don’t feel comfortable with taking a TE that high. It’s got to be OT or CB. 

Man did this bring me back to Earth on Pitts or what...

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
