Growing Sense that we take Mykel/Shemar, No matter who's available

[scratched]

We can all calm down, because we won’t be picking at 8. The Panthers will trade back in this draft to accumulate more draft compensation. Now will we pick Stewart or Mykel? Maybe, but it won’t be at #8

You guys keep making it sound like trading back is as easy as snapping your fingers.  Not sure why you think pick 8 is a hot commodity especially when this draft doesnt have a ton of blue chippers

You know it's March when huddlers are dreaming about a sweetheart trade package that will never actually materialize.

Even if we get an extra second round pick we'll probably draft another bust and for our troubles we'll end up with one of the lesser first round talents.

In theory I understand the thought process. In actuality and practice. This is still the Panthers and Scott Fitterer’s former right hand man we're talking about.

Several players will start moving up team's draft boards as it gets closer, as it always happens. And depending on how the first 3 or 4 picks go, somebody could want to move up for S. Sanders or J. Dart or maybe even Warren?. I think all of these guys go in the top 12. It's really early for everybody to be showing their hands. With that said, I'll stick to what I've been saying, the Panthers will not pick at #8. This is a message board, we all don't have to agree. I know you struggle with other's opinions, but I have my own.

If Graham is there they have to take him. Not just because he's the best available but because of his scheme versatility. This team was the worst defense of all time statistically (feel like i've seen worse) and the main culprit was the rush d. After bobby at nose, the depth is horendous. I think MG could serve as a 4tech or zero. He's one of the few interior cats that's going to be disruptive in pass rush too.

As far as edge rushers go, and I may be in the minority on this but I'd go Mike Green over Mykell/Stewart . That's assuming J. Walker gets snagged.

Stewart has really big bust potential as a pass rusher.  On First Draft podcast they mentioned he coasted a lot.  His highlights aren’t even that impressive to be honest.  Gotta stay away IMO.

Williams has a lot of talent and was productive.  I think he will be solid

It's the solid part that is the big issue on Williams for me. I like him better as a mid-late 1st.

Stewart I like in the 5th round.

Honestly none of the edges feel good at 8 to me. Will Johnson or Tyler Warren seem way more likely to work out.

 

I think Jalon Walker will be a fan favorite and have a good career but he won’t be worth the 8th pick or a consistent playmaker. I think he should play ILB or strong side in a 4-3. I don’t expect him to be an impactful edge in the NFL, too small.

No 8 pick for Vernon Butler 2.0? Sound about right for post Marty Hurnia era...

Well, I did it successfully on all 78 mock drafts in the simulator so Dan has no excuses.

Lol it reminds me when I traded our whole draft for future picks

[Verge]

Mykel seems pretty likely.
