Yeah you know the Panthers finally have made strides when two vets that have contributed across the league (Hunter Renfrow and David Moore) will probably fight it out for the last spot. Good problem to have.

Playing in our face with lottery outcomes that aren’t probable. That’s why they no longer show the ping pong balls. It’s rigged

After looking at the new cap numbers (23 million) I agree with the move to cut Clowney, but in my opinion, your assessment couldn’t be further from the truth. According to PFF, Clowney was # 3 against the run as an OLB/Edge last year, and while he only had 5.5 sacks he was #13 for generating pass rush. He was surrounded by practice squad players for the majority of the year. In addition, very few players have played 10+ years in the NFL AFTER micro fracture knee surgery. He lost his bend and a lot of his athleticism his rookie year when he got the surgery. That is what you consider a lazy bum ?????? Like I said, few if any have done it. Dude wanted to be here. It’s home for him. It amazes me how some of you Huddlers treat players that rep the Carolina Panthers. Players surveys and player sentiment around the league will hurt us when it comes to bring in that prize free agent player that gets us over the top. Don’t be confused when they sign elsewhere. I personally love the south and the smaller city vibe, but we are competing against some prize destinations with big markets and low taxes.

I have always been left scratching my head and asking “Why?”. This is the first year I felt all the picks made sense. Like you mentioned the safety pick was somewhat questionable and we probably should have swapped the order by drafting safety before running back, but I am optimistic. Hopeful Ransom and Etienne outplay their draft positions and contribute early.

Legette is better in man while T-Mac is better finding holes in the zone, so in my opinion pick your poison! 1A or 1B

Don’t forget about Bobby Brown. This is probably depth and the defensive tackle that will kick Shy Tuttle off the roster.

Dan Morgan has done great with value thus far. Walker would have been a rotational piece with Wonnum and Clowney. We get a rotational piece that can continue to develop with Scourton.

Kelvin Banks Jr hand placement was awful. I question the New Orleans pick at 9. My synopsis is Icky will maul him with those same moves. It’s the speed rushers that give Icky problems. Banks did a good job staying in front of Javon, but Banks allowed Walker to control the play by staying disengaged.

I have seen a few UGA games and I like him a lot. Walkers size against elite NFL tackles create questions. Questions that made me uncomfortable. I don’t think you should draft question marks in the top 10. If you have another player with a similar grade, take the other player. I am a little nervous about Walker and Pearce going to the Falcons. Seems like our luck they will ball out.

I still don’t get the love for Jalon Walker. In my opinion it was somewhat sheep mentality following what every one else wanted for us. I like the kid and think he’s an overachiever but his production was not top 10 worthy. I could only see him as a rotational piece with Wonnum, Clowney and Patrick Jones. Walkers range was 15 to 25 in my opinion. Glad we stuck to our board.

I like the pick. Edge is deep in this draft I think we can get one in round 2.

Yikes

This mock draft is proof of that with Abdul Carter falling to 15. Artificial Ignorance.

I’ve been wondering about those anonymous reports. His 40 and bull rush on tape looked good, although bull rush can be more so attributed to leg strength. Give me the trade down to the early teens and this becomes a better convo for all of us. It would definitely generate excitement with the early 2nd rounder.

Good point and good problem to have. Hopefully they make the right choice. I am not a fan of smaller edge players but as I mentioned in the initial post he’s a playmaker. I would not be mad, by any means with Walker. Pearce is probably just one of my 1st picks.
