Panthers eyeing Lael Collins, asking Trai about him


Recommended Posts

JJ tweeted this earlier as well.

I take all of this with a grain of salt. Panthers coaches and staff will do due diligence with all the players there this weekend. It would not shock me in the slightest to see a DE taken first.

That's said, solid prospect, would be happy with him starting at RT playing next to Trai and developing into to a long term LT. I would not want him to start at LT this season.

Don't think anyone can predict what they will take at 25. It's always a shock but ends up being the perfect pick. Last year they looked at so many people deeply, but then picked KB who it seems they have been hiding in the bushes.

Yeah, they smokescreen well when it comes to their picks.  DG is not going to give any indication before he's on the clock.  Exciting!

After years of Hurney not drafting a 1st round DT settling for the classic Dollar Marty 3-4 rounder/UDFA in the middle, I had instant respect and admiration for Getts when he doubled down that year, finally addressing the obvious. I was on the KB bandwagon with a couple others here and he went out and got him and now look!

What is obvious is we need more talent on the offensive line so this is good to hear. All I've got to say is: double up Dave!

    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field. 
    • At least we don't need to hear overreacting about towels ...
    • Actually there is, try being a Charlotte Hornets fan. I mean the team fuging moved at its peak and hasn't recovered since and that was 25 years ago
