Jahdae Barron. Bringing plus physicality at a position where it’s normally scarce is an impactful swing. He’s going to help the character of whatever defense he’s on. I’d prefer a d-lineman, but there likely isn’t one worth 8, and there are so many in the middle rounds. Just get a dude who helps. -

1. Edge Jalon Walker: I have been skeptical of Walker's fit as I would be any hybrid type of player, but his strengths as a person and player and the flexibility he gives the DC is formidable. He gives us a LB who can covert to Edge or Edge who can convert to LB during "hurry up" offenses when you can't substitute. Walker scares me, but you don't draft him if you can't see the fit. At #8, we could do worse. I am seeing more Micah Parsons than I did a week ago. 2. CB Will Johnson: Too often we think of the third CB as depth or nickel because that is traditional thought. In today's NFL, it is common to have 3 CBs on the field since the NFL has gone to 11 personnel --3 WRs, 1 TE--65% of the time, up from 55% in 2010; and if we have an injury to Horn or Jackson, there is not a lot we can do). With Johnson and Horn on the outside and Jackson on the third WR, our secondary is solid, preventing us from having to cover the third WR with a S, who would be assigned to TEs instead. 3. TE Tyler Warren: The only way I take Warren is if I plan to use him as a multi-dimensional offensive weapon. He would give the Panthers an elite TE (when we have been good, we have had an elite TE and an elite ILB) and lessen the need to reach for a WR by giving Young a shiny new weapon. There are a lot of teams who like Warren, so if he is still on the board, watch a team like the Rams try to trade up. With Sanders as an option in a 2 TE set and depth, we would have a pretty good TE room. Chris Simms recently said Warren would be better than Brock Bowers. Well.... In five years: Warren finished his five-year college career with 1,839 yards, 153 receptions and 25 total touchdowns. In three years: Bowers in three years at Georgia finished with 2,538 yards, 175 receptions and 31 total touchdowns.
