Didn't he just have a bad pro day? I think he slides past Mike Green.

A tweener or a guy who just said his pro-day was bad because of an ankle injury he suffered in the first game of the season. Athlon If you are desperate for an edge, take a real one in Mike Green.

Absolutely the worst case scenario for the Panthers.

We drafted a qb a year before a bumper qb class so i would not be surprised to see us draft a wr (tet) a year after a bumper wr class (Harrison jr., Nabers, Odunze, Brian Thomas jr., xavier worthy, ricky pearsall, and XL (all first rounders). Just keep using those first round picks and we may get one in a year or two.

Wow. Doesn't even tell the whole story since we are still paying for the '23 class this year.

We are not getting normal value in a draft that is this poor at the top but at the same time deep. Go with BPA, which is probably going to be Will Campbell. You don't want to trade with us, we are going to take your player.

Six gives us a pretty strong shot at Graham, which would be the easy choice.

We are about to take Walker as the second Edge off the board in a draft deep w/ Edge rushers. That is scary.

This year feels like the '23 draft for qb's. Slim pickin's this year but a potential haul for '26 in Manning, Lamaleava, Alar, Nussmeir, and Klubnik. One of those guys will poop the bed in '26 but some unknown will take his place. I would build my line and wr corp and worry about the qb in '26.

History says there will be multiple first round trades but this class is somewhat unique in its lack of talent once you get past the first 3-5 guys. I am really hoping for a trade back because i have been convincing myself the character issue guys (Mike Green, Pearce, and Burden) can be rehabilitated here and would represent a huge bargain late in the first or even early in the second for Burden.

Especially the qb's. The best qb from that class ended up being Brock Purdy Mr. Irrelevant.

Etienne was injured a lot last year and is only one year removed from a 1,000 yd season and they also have Tank Bigsby looking pretty good. I feel pretty confident they take Mason Graham. I also like Carrol and the Raiders to take Jeanty. Trading away our second round pick is going to sting because there is a huge difference between 39 and 57 where the former could land you one of the stud edges who fall (Green, Pearce, Ezeiruaku) and the latter would land you good not great prospects like (Landon Jackson, Tuimalao, or Princely). I am ok with drafting bpa with the first pick rather than reach for Williams though.

I think you got that backwards: PFF

I think it (should) excludes Shemar Stewart but not Mykel especially if you buy the ankle injury story.

I don't remember this problem in college. From his draft profile:

I am an Ole Miss fan. That mistake is unforgivable. Cooper is his dad of course.

Arch Manning to the Saints would be a interesting story. They almost killed his dad.

That is a good looking first four.

And when was the last time the Saints decided to go into full rebuild mode? Seems like they are always convinced they are just a couple players away from a playoff spot. I think other teams will be predicting they want a QB with the first pick whether that turns out to be true or not.

I don't think we have the luxury of taking a RT with our first pick when we have so many needs on D. Let's see how he does in '25 and go from there; we can extend or tag him. He is 31 so it is time to start thinking about a replacement.

The author has no inside information and is going off rumors like the Panthers might take a wr just not at 8 article. It basically says nothing so you are covered if it doesn't come true. Trading back would be beneficially to a club with so many holes. Someone may want the OT's or RB or a QB so it is not beyond the realm of possibility. I don't like to trade back in mocks for 2026 picks but in reality that is not a bad proposition because this team is not ready to challenge in '25.

I agree and he is certainly not ready to start right out of the gate, but people are talking about Milroe in the first round. That Saints' story is going to make teams that want a qb start to sweat. I watched every Ole Miss game this last year and i was never convinced Dart will be a productive starter in the NFL. Minshew might be a good comp.

I think both Sanders and Dart are going to be available at 8 and someone will trade with us to jump the Saints. Then again, the Saints have two 3rd rounders and two 4th rounders so they have draft capital to move up.

Isaiah Bond just turned himself into police for an outstanding sexual assault warrant. Nice to not see him on our list of WR's.

Kind of crazy we can't trade down w/ Sanders, Warren, Tet, Jeanty still on the board. Our options would be Mykel/Green, Membou, Golden, Emmanwori. Edge is deep but we pick pretty late in round two so depends on who you think is there then.
