Im not saying its Walker for sure but theres been zero evidence whatsoever presented to say its Williams. They don't need a smokescreen and haven't met with him.

I’m going to guess the Sean Gilbert trade.  Maybe Olsen.

For sure I just think he is Uber talented and teams know it.   If he's there at 57 is a no brainer I just don't think it's going to be an option 

So I misinterpreted what the consensus site was saying.

He's all over the place from 2nd to 5th...who knows

But Luvu was a bargain free agent.  Would you draft him, knowing what you know now, at #8 overall?

It's a style comparison not a skill or ceiling comparison

He won't be there at 57

57th is the highest any mock in the consensus has him going. He's projected in the 3rd.

Not that mocks mean anything

With the new DL, we should be better at edge by simple addition.  

What player would have the biggest impact on the Panthers? 

I still see the plan to trade back and take Emmanwori if we can find a trade partner.  Why, you ask?  S is a huge need and they have really only looked at 1 visits/meetings.  We will try to trade up for Princely in the second.  A WR in the third  (Bech or Noel).

There are 4 listed 

Regardless I can't imagine we draft two edge rushers. 

They selected the wrong OT for us

Moehrig was such a a head scratching signing. He's a 1980s safety in the 2020s.

The era of the undersized LB At safety should be over with the possible exception of the SS in a cover 3 scheme but in that situation you should probably be looking at that position as a spot to save cap space not burn through it.

He's only 202 lbs

The term "linebacker" is a bit of an undefined position these days.

Because in this instance, you're comparing him in size to players that are what generally are considered 4-3 LB's.

But we're looking at him as an OLB in a 3-4 and as an edge rusher, which is more of a DE than a LB.  And if you look at the "Edge" category in there, he's literally the lightest of any of the 26 players listed on that page.

I said tha but the assumption is he's wouldn't secured asa traditional edge but more like Miller who he was compared to 

I'm not pounding thectabkecfie him but definitely he's one of the most impressive when you just watch him play that we have a chance to get.

And he's the heaviest off the top linebackers. I think he's 3rd of all the linebackers eligible for the draft.

I understand he is undersized for traditional 3/4 olb but defenses are changing. Linebackers are smaller now

The league has grown since LT and lewis my friend. I'd almost say its not even the same sport. 

Plus you listed the defense goat and a top 5 MLB in NFL history, that's some comparisons..... 

 

I need to see if Joe Alt played against Georgia....

 

Just the facts are small players are ultra rare success stories, Walker has the odds stacked against him. It that what you want at #8 overall??

Im beginning to hate this draft....

Linebackers are smaller now.

The problem is PFF contradicts itself saying he's best suited off ball then apparently as some are saying grading him higher as a pass rusher.

Though this guy wasn't there to be part of either side of Walker's PFF of analysis and was not, as someone stated, a founder.

Mike Mayock drafted Celin Ferrill. I wouldn’t trust his advice about dline prospects. Same thing with Bill Belichick loving Xavier Leggette. It was actually a red flag based on how poor he has drafted wide receivers.

And Maxx Crosby.

I wouldn't mind Warren at all but I don't expect it.

If Tyler Warren or Will Johnson are there and we take Walker.....

There's next to no chance we take a TE

Maybe Evero can use Walker better than Georgia did.   Nobody knows.

He just won the Butkus award for top linebacker. If so that would be quite nice.

Drafting a player and only utilizing him in line with pff is absurd. I'm not sure what your link has to do with that.

PFF grade him as a linebacker which includes his coverage and run defense grades, which are terrible. Purely as an edge he grades out as one of the best (like 83.6 or something).

If we draft him we need to make him a full time pass rusher.

We better not base our decisions on PFF grades.

I don't think so anymore. I did at one point, but I think they have liked Williams more all along.

Why have they shown so much interest in meeting with Walker and so little with Williams?
