According to David Newton, the "Panthers were clear no. 1 choice for DE Jared Allen".  The NFL's leading active sack leader wanted to become a Panther.

I don't know about y'all, but this is great news, as you only have to look at the recent vids (links in the other thread) and realize that Allen was only playing 57 percent of the snaps to come to the conclusion that Allen is willing and able to come here and make a valuable contribution immediately.  This is a future HOFER that has something left in the tank and probably a little chip on his shoulder after hearing all the whispers that he is done!  

Coach Ron Rivera hasn’t spoken on whether Allen will replace Johnson on the left side for Sunday’s game at Tampa Bay or remain on the right side where he has played most of his career.

Harris is confident his client can do either, noting Allen typically is “the smartest guy on the field at any time in the game, maybe with the exception of the quarterback."

 

Smart, motivated, and a track record. You can question whether or not he's gassed out if you want to, but I am fairly sure that he's gonna hit the ground---and the QB---running.

jared allen knows he's coming to a line that's dominated in the interior by two guys who can demand two blockers in any given situation. this leaves him more opportunities to fight through a single blocker, something that might not happen if he ended up somewhere with subpar talent.

toss in an upward-trending quarterback talent and a slowly-gelling offense and it's little surprise.

From the article...

Harris is confident his client can do either, noting Allen typically is “the smartest guy on the field at any time in the game, maybe with the exception of the quarterback."

Harris said Carolina may be the exception to that with middle linebacker Luke Kuechly, a two-time Pro Bowler who has missed the past two and a half games with a concussion.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
