We need edge LBs IMO.  I think Abdul Carter is a slightly better athlete but I fuggin love Jalen Walkers motor.  That guy plays all over and goes 100 every play.  From Salisbury as well.

Long term absolutely, but I dont think it's as pressing a need with clowney and wonnum performing well. Feel like WR and DT, and even CB, and even ILB may be more pressing needs given out recent free agent signings.

We're getting Mason Graham dammit and I refuse to hear anything else

You realize Graham will be off the board by the time we pick?

 

When you win meaningless games at the end of the season this is how you miss out on the top prospects. After Hunter gets drafted Graham is going to be the next best prospect on the board. No chance he last past the #5 pick.

Well if we lose out we very could be right back at 5. A Tennessee win at Jacksonville and a Raiders win in New Orleans this week would help us out. If we go win in Atlanta I wouldn’t be mad. Would love for Bryce to beat a young Penix in their dome

Great draft to go get help on the DL + EDGE. 

EDGE is definitely deep, not so much high end talent you want to see annually, but a good amount of talent overall.  A lot of guys that could be in that JJ Jr, Byron Young, Tuli, Bonitto bracket that could blossom pretty quickly. 

A lot of interesting R2-3 targets - Jack Sawyer, Donavon Ez, Mike Green.  Bradyn Swinson is a mid to late rounder that intrigues me too.

It won’t fix our biggest issue but pairing Will Johnson with Jaycee horn is awfully tempting…

You know, that's not the ideal situation given all of our needs. But, if we could pick up a starter on defense in FA and nab 2 or 3  starters after the 1st round in the 2025 draft, I wouldn't be upset with that scenario.

If Brown comes back healthy we've already gained 1 starter on the line. Let's say we find a safety or LB in FA. MHS831 had a good break down on who should be available after day 1. If we found a starting DE and DT to add up front we'd be significantly better at every level of the defense.

if Carter is still there, he's gotta be the guy at this point. don't love him at 4, but at 7? sure, pull the trigger

no Carter? Mykell Williams from Georgia

2nd round, I'm looking more and Deone Walker than the edges. If he's there to provide a big body in the middle, D Brown (if back healthy) should eat

I'm also enamored with Landon Jackson, simply on measurables. Seems more a hand in the dirt, 43 end than a 34 edge, but maybe he slides in a 34 DE on passing downs. Similar feelings (despite the crazy measurables) on Jack Sawyer.

If we're focusing on pass rushers from more of a stand up position, I'm also looking at Donovan Ezeiruaku and Kyle Kennard 

Then there's Dani Dennis-Sutton, Jared Ivey,I've, Mike Green and was watching Patrick Payton, but looks like he's headed to LSU instead of the draft

When we were picking 5 they had us going after Carter and Graham being picked at 7. Graham could still be there at 7.

I think the key is to draft BPA in whatever position we are going to be in. It would be nice to win out even if it is meaningless. It will allow us to know what winning feels like and let that roll over into next season. We lost close games to good teams, but that experience for these players and coaches. It’s creating culture and experience for this team and develops a winning mentality and not a tanking mind set. 
 

Needless to say the draft is deep on defense, maybe not top end talent, but enough talent to be day 1 starters to develop into top end talent.

Lots of talk about DT and Edge at the top of our draft. And yes, I agree we need help there. But Safety is a very pressing need. It’s a great draft for safeties, and I think we have to think about safety in the 2nd or 3rd. Too many good ones for us to miss out!

    • So this has been one of my biggest concerns with Canales and it's the downside of having some young offensive guy who doesn't have full staff control. like what is the org chart for this decision?  With canales, who does he know or has worked with that he can tap? He hasn't been in Seattle in 2 seasons and all those guys are gone anyway. He wasn't even that high up on the org chart in Seattle so it's unclear who he would have regularly interacted with. QB coaches generally aren't going to be in the split squad meetings, at least not regularly. Just glancing at the coaching staff, Clint Hurt jumps out. He was DC in 2022 and is currently the dline coach in Philadelphia, but that team is the brainchild of roseman and i'd be very hesitant to bring in someone who was allowed to walk from seattle and would be having a SUBSTANTIAL decline in talent here in Carolina. With Tampa, that defense is a shambles and fans want Bowles out. It's a very top heavy coaching staff too; Bowles is very involved so there isn't some bright up and comer, from what Bucs fans elsewhere have said. Someone from the Bills maybe? Morgan was last there in 2020. Who could he call? No one established is going to take that position for a few reasons. There very little talent on that side of the ball, so you're not getting the rockstar mercenaries to come here. They're probably going to struggle to bring in some hot up and comer, since anyone with ambition is going to see how Tepper handled evero's request to interview for other positions and not want to deal with that. That's a problem the team has created on its own and I don't know how to fix it until they have someone leave for a promotion, which is going to be difficult with how dogshit this franchise is. And then, any agent is going to tell their client that the Panthers let the whole defense eat poo heading into 2023 just to "give bryce weapons." they let two starters walk and traded away a third. who would want to come in to this? how are you going to build/retain talent? There's only a few logical possibilities from my perspective 1. Someone out of nowhere who just crushes their interview 2. Someone from a good defense promoted WAY earlier than they should be and you just hope for the best 3. Extend Evero. I know a lot of people hate this but I think it's going to be the best option. This is the problem with Canales as coach. I don't want to go into what I think about the offense in this post, today or as it projects, but it's just not going to be easy for him to assemble a staff, if he even has the power to do so. For all we know Morgan is handling all defensive positions and hires. unclear org charts are a hallmark sign of a poorly run organization. I dunno. i think it's lowkey the biggest problem on the team, even moreso than the QB position.

    • Yup. Why pass when you can get 5.1 ypc, worst in the league and with the most attempts against, and are typically playing with a lead.
