James Pearce 4.47 forty time. Wow.

[rebelrouser]

They superimposed S. Barkley, James Pearche, AJ Brown, and J. Hurts running the forty and James is right behind Barkley, right in front of Brown and way in front of Hurts.  Not the best indicator for success on the dline but that is impressive. I can't find a dlineman that had a better time at the combine.

40 yd dash

[Jon Snow]

He's fast and fluid in drills as well. He has good bend and his get off is as fast as anyone I've ever seen. He has the frame to add weight also. He's an interesting prospect for sure.

[Bear Hands]

He's also already pretty good against the run.  Has some inconsistencies from time to time, but sheds off blocks and moves laterally very well to get to the runner.  Def a fan.  I see a Will McDonald with better burst.  Needs to pack on some meat, but he's a really strong prospect.  

Projected top-5 overall preseason.

He's gone under the radar for sure. He could have gone late 1st and ended up on a playoff team but now he's worked his way into top 10 consideration at least.

A few people have had him top-15 overall for a minute like PFF and I think it holds true. His potential on top of a decent floor is sky high. And at a coveted position. Personally think he’s PR #2 after Carter.

I think he is myself. Just depends on how motivated he is to be the best. Right most these nfl guys mock him in the late 1st. It's hard for me to believe that considering the competition in this class.

Here is my favorite so far. I’m trying to move back just a little and take either Jaylon Walker or James Pearce JR and then hopefully have Kenneth Grant still there for me, Deone Walker if not.

 

Catch up, guys.

If I remember right, five months Peace was the early #1 on most boards. 

Then he had a ho-hu 2024 and dropped to the 20s.

It's just a bad year for 6-20-30 draft picks, it's basically the same tier.

He looked tall to me as well. 

Even before this combine, I had no issue with peace at 8

If it were me I would probably pick Graham if he's there and Pearce Jr. if he's not. I would either go Graham in the 1st and try like he'll to get Jihaad Campbell in the 2nd. Or take Pearce Jr. in the 1st and Deone Walker in the 2nd. That's my dream scenarios right now.

I'll admit this guy wasn't on my radar, but this combine will have me take a look.

I personally think they need a pass catcher starter, we are at odds over this, but guess what I agree with your wants for the top two picks.

I believe 3 paths-

8- Tmac

57- BPA at DL, edge, LB, SS

OR

8- Best DLmen

57- best pass cather left arroy/golden/4 other TEs that fell

OR

8- BPA(should be defense)

57- BPA(should be defense)

 

 

In all of them form 3rd round til the 7th, load up that defense but use either 4th/5th on a RB, then back to defense. 

2 picks on Offense(starter level pass catcher and RB0

7 picks on DT, NT, Edge, LB, Safety, CB(if you listen to Dan, I feel Michael Jackson is priced out of coming back).

See I'm just the opposite in that I think the first 3 picks should be defense because that's where the most talented players are. But go bpa the rest of the way because you can find offensive talent in round 4 thru 6. Take a kicker in the 7th if we still have it.

You just gave me the main reason I want to use, ONE, just one pick of the first 2 picks on a pass catcher. Form experts predictions- starting DL could/should be found into the 4th round. Panthers need starter WR and TE, 0.2% that can be filled by mid round pick. Get AJ green(loL) aka Tmac at 8th, then use 2nd, 3rd, and both 4ths on Defense with a focus on DL/edge. 

they have three 5th rounders, use one on RB and the other two on defense depth. 

 us fans and the team will win in the long run!!

 I believe he was the main #1 overall back then.

I just rewatched one of the drills in which coach makes you go right left, then run back.....his ankle movement was insane.
