TE: Sam LaPorta could end up the best TE in this class and has crazy upside.  He brings it all.  Definitely my new favorite, dare I say, even over Musgrave and Washington.

EDGE: A huge second to Felix Anudike-Uzomah.  His pass rushing skills are legit.  

RB: Tyjae Spears for an all-around pass catching running back to compliment either Jamaal or D'onta

WR: Hands down, Andre Iosivas outside the top guys.  He's a non-dropsies Christian Watson.  Do not mind Tanke Dell, Rashee Rice or Tyler Scott one bit either, but Iosivas would be a great outside guy.  

IDL: Keeanu Benton out of Wisconsin.  As hard-nosed lineman as they come out of a school that produces the gritty, big boys.  

Agree. I’ve been saying Laporta is TE3 for a while. 
 

Brian Branch is another guy I have high on my non-QB wish list.

had never heard of him before this post...6'3'', 4.43 speed, huge catch radius, great hands....coming out of the Ivey league, that will be an adjustment, but sounds like a great pickup in 4th or 5th

LaPorta for sure but, that one handed catch by Washington on the corner route at the combine gave me the ‘tingles’.  Would be thrilled with either and LaPorta should be available at 39.

Question is, how do we wrangle both LaPorta and Uzo?  I want them both.

Yeah that's the hard part knowing one of our 2nd could likely be gone.  

My best guess would be more movement and keeping 39 somehow.  A slight trade down from 39 to the 40s, gain an extra mid rounder.  Leverage our capital to move higher into the 3rd.  Would be hard.  Can easily do it on simulators but highly unlikely in reality.   

For a later round EDGE that's pretty refined from a pass rush standpoint, extensive moveset, run-D isn't bad either, I'd also throw a shoutout to Villami Fehoko from San Jose State.  NFL blood, Vea & Fehoko family.  

6'3 265, really nice burst, quick feet, Mountain West DPOY.  Can push lineman but easily move fluidly around the field.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      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.
