Who are your favorite prospects in this upcoming draft?

[Icege]

If I had to pick a favorite from each position group, mine would be:

• QB: Kyle McCord (Syracuse)
• RB: Cam Skatteboo (Arizona State)
• WR: Emeka Egbuka (Ohio State)
• TE: Tyler Warren (Penn State)
• OT: Will Campbell (LSU)
• OG: Donovan Jackson (Ohio State)
• OC: Seth McLaughlin (Ohio State)
• EDGE: Donovan Ezeiruaku (Boston College)
• DL: Derrick Harmon (Oregon)
• LB: Jalon Walker (Georgia)
• CB: Dorian Strong (Virginia Tech)
• S: Malaki Starks (Georgia)

If I had to put together a top 5 for prospects I enjoyed scouting the most, they'd be (in no particular order): Donovan Ezeiruaku, Tyler Warren, Dorian Strong, Malaki Starks, and Jalon Walker.

If I hadn't watched Starks' 2023 + 2022 film as well, I'd probably swap him for Egbuka.

Who have y'all enjoyed scouting?

You forgot punter, long snapper, and kicker

Keeping me honest, I appreciate that... but I haven't scouted LS nor P so I'm taking the coward's way out and grouping them all as special teams!

• ST: Andres Borregales, K, Miami

Borregales is also the only ST player I've scouted... was interested after he worked with Coach Bates at the Senior Bowl.

You've done a lot more than I have. At this point I just watch the college games and give the Panthers games a go before getting ticked off with them and changing the channel or doing something else. That's if I watch the Panthers at all.

But I do like Warren and think he's probably the only guy talked about in the top 10-15, I'd like to see the Panther draft. But that's been discussed before. I liked what I saw of Skatteboo in the season and wouldn't mind him being drafted by the Panthers in the 4th or later. As for the others,

@Icege I like your McLaughlin shout out.  He had a bad injury so may have a delay to start, but he's a legit NFL center.

I liked him at Bama and love his scheme versatility. He's quick enough to play in a zone scheme but also gets enough drive to work power. Really high on his ability to recognize blitzes and stunts (that latter one being a sore spot for Panthers' fans the last cpl of seasons T_T)

Oooh, I haven't checked out LeQuint Allen at all and I've still gotta watch Tyleik Williams. Might try and sneak in some of them in today when I hit this three hour stretch of meetings @ 1pm...

Big fan of these 3! Tahj Brooks runs like a sledgehammer, Zy Alexander is yet another in a long line of LSU DBs, and Malachi Moore's College Gameday story made me an even bigger fan.

I'm being a bit delinquent today during Teams calls today too haha.    

Noticed Allen watching McCord.  He's nice.  Strong pass catcher who could come in and not really take away from Chuba.  But also fill in if needed.  

-a quick edit/add-

For Tyleik, I already like him and then heard there's a lot of quiet buzz and he's been interviewing super well (forgot where but it was yesterday) Seems like a guy teams don't want to let out they are coveting.

My guy in the first is Trade Back. I don't know if he is on the board at 8 but getting an extra 2nd would be the home run.
