Let's agree to disagree!

Okay guys it's time we agree to disagree when it comes to the #1 overall pick. Let's start projecting the 3rd round(65th) pick, without using any crazy trade scenarios. Just assume your guy is picked with the #1 pick, who do you have us picking with the 65th overall pick.

My choice is Phil Taylor! I'm hearing this guy can go anywhere from the end of the 1st round to as low as the 3rd round, due to off the field issues, so I'm hoping we somehow luck up and have this guy drop to us the same way Clausen did. Bad example, but you get what I'm saying.

Phil Taylor is going to be a 1st round pick. I have him going to the Chargers in my latest mock; but certainly no later than the Jets. And IF he does somehow manage to slip into the 2nd, he won't last long. It's a shame we don't have that 2nd rounder... f**king Armanti Edwards trade.

As for the 3rd round pick... being realistic, my top-5 scenarios are:

1. Ras-I Dowling, CB, Virginia: He seems to be dropping somewhat, but is still a very talented player with good size for a corner.

2. Drake Nevis, DT, LSU: Once considered a 1st round pick, has been passed over for guys like Phil Taylor and Corey Liuget. Would be a great pickup here.

3. Jordan Cameron, TE, USC: I'd REALLY like to be able to nab him with one of our back-to-back picks at the end of the 3rd/beginning of th 4th, but he's created a ton of buzz and we may be lucky to see him fall to us here. TE isn't nearly the need CB & DT are, but he has big time ability and I can see him developing into a beast under Chudzinski.

4. John Moffitt, OG, Wisconsin: It's hard to say if we'll consider taking a guard this early. It'll largely depend on what the new staff thinks of Geoff Schwartz, but Moffitt would be a solid pick at the top of the 3rd round.

5. Lawrence Wilson, OLB, Connecticut: Again, this depends on James Anderson & Thomas Davis' situations, but it's probably safe to say at least one of them won't be back so a surprise type pick here could be an OLB like Wilson.

    • Yeah the thing about DJ and his production was that he played in a scheme that either rushed 6 or rushed 3. Almost nothing in between.  So he's either 1 on 1 or a free rusher OR he's not rushing at all.  That said, he cost very little compared to Burns with basically the same output. 
    • There's much of nothing coming out this time of year, but here's a vid that I believe that many fans need to internalize because it speaks to expectations for the 2024 season.    There's nothing really new, but I'd like to point out that one of the few things that I personally learned is that D.J. Wonnum's contract is only guaranteed to the tune of 10 percent. The analyst in the vid is a Vikings guy, and he has seen all of  Wonnum's plays. He says that Wonnum disappears for big stretches, and of course, as a Panthers guy, I couldn't help but think of Brian Burns' disappearing act for stretches as well.  To paraphrase and kind of give my two cents, Panthers fans should be somewhat optimistic about all of the potential on offense (but not crazily so), and be somewhat worried about the pass rush and defensive backfield. We're thin at both, but hopefully we can at least be competitive based on the offensive side of the ball. This is not to say that we won't be better on defense, but being so thin at rush and on the back end, we will be lucky to substantially improve.  One more note is that I believe he's somewhat of a Young apologist, as he didn't really mention Bryce's bad play specifically, taking the position that we just don't know what we have in Young based upon the sh¡t show in 2023.  I could argue the point, but what's the point? We'll have to see what Bryce has got when surrounded by much-improved talent and coaching. Check the vid out; it isn't so long, and though there are multiple reasons to be skeptical about the defensive personnel, last year produced a couple of stats that should indicate that Ej knows what he's doing. Like the analyst said, we'll hopefully do for the defense in the 2025 off-season, what we did for the offense this off-season.
    • seems like Necas is acting like a pestilent spoiled brat, we have to sign Drury and this is gumming up the works - also looks like we now have to trade Necas for draft picks or fingers crossed get out of KK's salary
