I think it's the only way to pick up an extra second in this week draft. Like going from 8 to the very late 20's to the early 30's probably gets you a second plus a fourth or if into the 2nd, two 2's plus a fourth and 6th.

To make it worth it, I could see Carolina moving completely out of the first to the early second.

This is the draft you trade up in, conventional wisdom plus statistics and analytics say you trade back in a normal draft. Where normal drafts have 16 players with first round grades... This one has maybe 8 depending on the team you speak with. If you can't trade up, you trade way back... like out of the first round all together way back. It's the only way the capital ends up being worth a move back for 95% of teams under normal circumstances.

Nope that's where he would play. He's not going to spend 100% of his time at OLB rushing the passer if a team deploys him correctly. He's going to get moved around a lot and be on the field every down. Dude is 6-1, 250lbs with 32in arms. He can play everywhere.

Why?? Everyone's going to miss once and a while, even the ones that try to do this for a living are going to miss.

Some teams have Loveland rated higher than Warren. Fwiw I have them rated similar but Loveland slightly higher.

NFL draft is more volatile than any other professional draft. I will say that I think Campbell's source that he's been using is still with the team.

Teams are comparing him to Micah and teams are dumb and don't like taking chances high in a draft. Walker has longer arms than Micah by half an inch. Walker is two inches shorter but weighs the same as Micah.

I would and I wouldn't think twice about it. Ones a really good player, the other has a ceiling of a generational prospect. Yes, Walker's ceiling is that high type but he's going to move around more while also playing ILB on first down, short yardage situations, and goal line. Think Micah Parsons "as that's who teams compare him to favorably"

I have Loveland and Warren in my top 10. My top ten right now Hunter, Carter, Walker, Ward, Jeanty, Membou, Campbell, Loveland, Warren, Graham.

A tweener that can play ILB and edge and can rush the passer from both positions. Has huge "Micah Parsons" level upside. That tweener is the pick if he makes it past the Raiders.

I would disagree with this and most teams would as well. Ton of teams have him rated similar to Micah Parsons. Also not a chance the Panthers pass him up if he's available.

Tons of sources at every team. Guy that's not with the Panthers anymore says it's a lock for Walker if he's at 8. If he's there they won't trade back, it's a 100% staying and taking Walker. Bunch of teams have him rated similar to Micah Parsons. Take that fwiw.

Don't mind the late noise for anyone else, Walker is the pick if he's there. If not they try to trade back.

Svechnikov took a goal post to the jewels. Ouchie

I've heard the same things and it's starting to trickle out to mock draft now right before the draft. I think he falls but I still think he goes to the saints in round 1 they just trade back later into the first before picking him up. I'll add that it's a shame because if the saints take him, that offense becomes very explosive overnight. I like Sanders and have him rated around 11th overall and I don't think the gap between him and Ward is that big.

I'm not saying he isn't good. I have him rated 9th and Loveland 10th on my own board. I just think Walker is a better player at a more valuable position.

The team has had leaks for years, this is the first draft in years where I don't personally know someone on the inside that I could get information from and I'm just a fan, you don't think the media has more inside information than a fan? That said Walker is a lock if he's there.

Was talking about this earlier, lot of teams have Loveland rated ahead of Warren. I wouldn't be surprised if Warren fell and Loveland was drafted before him.

Did you see who they signed to start at TE??? Tremble was signed to start at TE. Lol He doesn't value the TE and he expects his QB's to be able to throw to the numbers. Which is what Bryce is going to be expected to do.

Also I'm pretty sure the Panthers are in the majority of teams that have Loveland higher on their board. I've said from the start that if Walker is there he's the pick. Still on that train of thought and have gotten nothing that would change that way of thinking.

Bryce is going to have to learn to run Canales offense or be shown the door.

Our offense devalues the TE, so why take one early when he isn't going to be used as a weapon?

There's like 8 players in this draft that have consensus first round grades. "Normally you have about 14-16 players with first round grades. Depending on the team this could change but consensus is the following. Ward, Hunter, Carter, Campbell, Jeanty, Graham, Walker, Membou Lot of teams have Loveland rated higher than Warren. I'd not be surprised if Warren fell draft night.

Front four??? So do you mean edge or DL... Line seems pretty set. Brown - Brown - Wharton | Robinson and Tuttle as the main backups. Could use one more depth piece to fill out a solid top 6. OLB or edge... Well that's a different story but don't worry Walker is on the way.
