REPORT: Panthers like Mykel Williams

[frankw]

Well if they do draft him maybe it will end up being a "blind squirrel finds a nut" moment for our front office. But I won't hold my breath.

[Pejorative Miscreant]

I’d rather take the Johnson(CB), Warren (TE) or Starks(S) than Williams and I don’t like any of those guys at 8. I’m  just tired of getting guys with a big “if” attached to the selection.

Don’t worry guys this rumor will change in the coming month leading up to the draft. We started with Tet McMillan then Jalon Walker and the past two weeks it’s been Mykel.

My guess as the next player: CB Will Johnson.

Before going back to Jalon Walker going into the draft.

Keep in mind, Jalon has his pre-draft workout for teams on April 17th. He’s a first rate athlete and I fully expect him to wow the coaches, scouts, media the same way Shemar Stewart did at the Combine

I hope they pick Walker.  He is actually a little bigger than Thomas Davis and he was pretty good.

If we stay @8 Jalon Walker would be my preference as well

He’s from NC and Panthers organization has selected Carolina based players in the 1st round lately: Jaycee Horn, Ikem Elwonu, Xavier Legette 

Also we need LB depth/future starter (Jewell is 30 and Rozeboom is on 1yr deal) and EDGE pass rush - Jalon plays both spots! perfect 

[Waldo]

Jewell had a 56.5 PFF grade in 2024 which was just higher than Wallace who had a 56 as a rookie. Jewell is a backup level player and should be the depth.

The big safety sounds more like TD to me. Emman something? Also a SC player, not that that should matter at all.

Im now 100% buying the Panthers main target is Mykel Williams.

Same here and I really don't get it. Better prospects will be available at 8.
