48. Carolina Panthers

Linval Joseph, DT, East Carolina

This is the Panthers' first pick of the draft, and many fans have never heard of Joseph. He's 6-4, 328 pounds and ran 4.93 at his pro day. Throw in 39 reps at 225 pounds on the bench and 30 tackles for a loss in 27 college starts, and he helps in the middle where the Panthers' defense is weak.

---------------------------

i don't mind this one so much. i'm calling a DL so this beast looks like a fair pick. i really hope we don't go WR when our DL needs so much work.

Joseph is the true flavor of the month in this years draft. Based on college production he looks like a mid rounder. But after looking closely at the tapes and his measurables, he is become quite the prospect. Still, a lot of it is on potential and not production.

See... there we go again with the DE talk too...

Boy, you all sure are knocking the hell out of Brayton, Brown, and Johnson wanting to go DE so early... At least with my OLB chatter, it doesn't involve a position that we have traded away a future pick to fill, nor anyone that has started there for more than a few games...

OLB, WR, or even G or QB... all before DL is addressed...

The only opposition to my own argument would involve us staying put at 48 and 78, and DL being the BPA... and it very well could be... That is why we have to make some sort of move... up or down... to get the best value from our first picks...

Well, the Panthers have interest in several d-linemen that will go in the first 2 rounds. So ignore that all you want to, but it is a distinct possibility.

That has nothing to do with how I feel about our d-line. Just stating the possibilities.

I agree it is very possible... But not because we are lacking in talent and depth as it is... moreso because it could be best value in our current positioning...

I am still on the Bandwagon for a WR. I just happen to think whoever gets Joseph is gonna have a hellava DT.

If we go DL with our first pick I'll be angry. Let the guys play it out...over the past year we have acquired:

Everette Brown

Corvey Irvin

Tank Tyler

Louis Leonard

Four DL in the last year...stop it already. I am sick of stocking up DL when we have 4 DTs to throw in the rotation as well as 3 solid DEs. We have ONE WR that is worth throwing the ball to.

The bottom line is that this draft is going to suck unless we trade up or get lucky with one of the elite WRs dropping to us. If we take a DT it will be a waste...I'd rather take any other position outside of C and OG than DT.

i don't care about them. i want to have the best DL possible and i don't feel like we need to be relying on those three so much until we are sure. we bring in the best players to compete for the job as possible. DE is not deep for the panthers at all and there is going to be a serious drop off this year unless they get some more help. i would rather that be an older vet but at the very least it needs to be addressed fairly early in the draft. pick up george selvie...that would suit me fine but i still want a solid vet more...just for the rotation.

      Reason for Liking or Disliking Prospect X at 8 Overall

      By Icege · Posted

      Try to trade back, but in order of preference... Mason Graham, DL, Michigan - Possibly the top DT in the draft Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State - TE1 plus clear top 10 talent in this draft class that fills a need. Can block, open up things underneath, run after the catch, and run the seam. Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College - My favourite EDGE prospect to have scouted this offseason outside of 2023 JT Tuimoloau and 2024 Abdul Carter. Let him rotate behind Clowney/Wonnum and then potentially start on the weakside. Jalon Walker, LB/EDGE, Georgia - Would fit Evero's scheme insanely well and pair well with Wallace who could be the coverage LB while Walker is the guy that the QB has to guess if he's coming or not. Emeka Egbuka, WR, Ohio State - Will immediately fill in for AT once he's gone (or if he goes down) and is able to run a large portion of the route tree. Malaki Starks, S, Georgia - His freshman + sophomore tape is elite and he'd immediately start as FS1. Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia - Loooooooong arms and other traits that gives him the prototypical build that scouts loves. Also showed elite tape as a freshman as a 3-4 OLB, showed out well as a sophomore, but his recent season he played with an injured ankle all season long. Shemar Stewart, EDGE, Texas A&M - Insane measurables, solid pressure rate, good run stopper, but there's questions galore about that pressure to 4.5 sacks rate. Will Johnson, CB, Michigan - Mike Jackson's deal allows him to be cut after just one season if the Panthers find a partner to put across from Jaycee Horn. James Pearce Jr, EDGE, Tennessee - Lots of questions due to recent reports regarding character and coachability, but performed against top SEC talent at a position of need for the Panthers. Armand Membou, OT, Missouri - Word is that Moton's knee is done and the Panthers need to find an RT for life afterwards. The preferred method would be to bring in a guy to develop behind Moton for a season, but having Membou means having a big body that can plug in right away should Moton go down. This would leave Christensen to take over at any other spot on the line should there be another injury.

      Well I don't disagree with you. But that isn't in the cards this season although we should IMO absolutely consider a QB in the mid rounds with some potential just to have on the roster because Jack Plummer is the definition of an afterthought and Andy Dalton while he is a great guy he is simply cooked at this point in his career let's just be honest. Certainly this year is the put up or shut up year regardless of circumstances. Or at least it should be. I've said all along my concern is this regime led by the Tepper's who have a built in need to save face for pushing for the trade will be willing to accept even marginal improvement as a "win" and seek to explore contract extension options with Bryce. While I like Dan Morgan he certainly is and was a direct part of that as Fitterer’s right-hand man so he also has a key stake in saving face too. I'm just hoping 2025 for the most part is a campaign that will silence any and all doubt and leave very little to be debated. At least then as a fanbase we could come together and end most of these constant feuds over the starting QB at least temporarily. We'll see.
