this draft is absolutely stacked at corner

I thought the same thing. There is seriously 3-5 guys who are potential 10-year #1s, then there's like 6-8 more guys who are definitely solid #2s. It's ridiculous.

I really don't know where you all are getting this "He's a Safety/NB" crap. Mark my words he'll be an outstanding corner in 2-3 years. 2nd might be a slight reach (I'd say he has a late 2nd early 3rd grade) based on perceived value but considering his potential not so much. He is one of best athletes at CB in this draft. We don't have a 3rd so if they like him they better pick him in the 2nd. Maybe a trade down is possible and pick up an extra pick.

That's the problem. We need a starting caliber corner right now. A guy who can step into the #2 CB spot oposite Gamble.

If Claiborne, Coples, and Ingram are gone by #9.....and we can't trade out. OT Riley Reiff would be the safe pick or we might have to reach for CB Stephon Gilmore.

That is a ridiculous statement.

He can. And considering his size he isn't nearly as much of a liability against those bigger WR that always torch us. He's a small school kid so it might take a couple of seasons to get to his potential. Which is usually true of almost all rookies. Its his ball skills are what make me so excited. The kid is going to be a playmaker.

Gilmore will be the 2nd cornerback taken after Claiborne.

Completely disagree. I think, even with all of the negative things that have happened to him, Dre Kirkpatrick is still the second CB off the board. The Cowboys have already expressed loads of interest in him.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
