Kevin Johnson

6'0 188lbs

 

He had a few fantastic games last year (Clemson most notably) and I've seen a lot of good stuff written about this kid.  Johnson may fall into that zone between our 1st and 2nd rounder, but I see him having a late first round grade on a lot of sites.  He's a skilled technician at the position, good size, good speed, good awareness.  The area for improvement is in run support but I think he'll be highly coachable in that regard and get better moving forward.   

 

Never missed a single game in college and overall just seems consistent and poised to be a starting CB. 

 

Johnson may not end up being the BPA when 25 rolls around but regardless, he's going to be really good in the NFL and if you're open to Jalen Collins in R1, I think Johnson should be considered as well.    

 

NFL.com compares him to Sam Shields who's one of my favorite cornerbacks.

very good footwork, does not take any mis steps when breaking on the ball. good instincts, and can read routes really well.didn't have many picks, but, was a very consistent player while at Wake. has to become more physical vs. WRs and in the running game.

Agreed.  He proved he was willing to bulk up in college and I could see him willing to take it to the next level once in the NFL.

      Panthers HC Dave Canales hints at adding more weapons for QB Bryce Young

      By strato · Posted

      I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner.

      2025 Draft Re-Grades (Or, One Idiot Doubles Down)

      By Raskle · Posted

      How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.

      Who was the better HC - Rivera or McDermott?

      By Basbear · Posted

      I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
