Tackling

 

Cravens is the total package for OLB/S. The guy is a playmaker. Anyone who says he's not going in the first round is lost. Su'a at this point has hopped over Joseph in the pecking order.

I don't disagree that he is a great talent and in play at 30. He's not a round 1 lock though. That's my only point.

Using the NFL.com rankings /grades  (these are from 2 weeks ago, there may be some changes in rankings...) I highlighted players Panthers have met with.  It shows several distinct groups as I noted above.  DE/DT;  S / WR;  CB

Here are the top 30 players we've looked at, based on NFL.com grades:

I find it notable that we've visited with very few players ranked from 48 - 70.  It strongly suggests to me that we'll try to move up in round 2.

Very interesting. According to these rankings, Derrick Henry would not be a reach at #30.

Well, I guess that depends on who views him as a first round talent. Baltimore, New England and Pittsburgh are in love with him according to the rumors. He may not make it to 30. We'll see though.

Baltimore isn't picking him at 6 and New England doesn't pick until the end of the 2nd

I absolutely would love if Sterling Shepard is the one by the way. Kid has some game and would make his presence known from day one. I think that Cravens would do the same. I think Henry might not make as great of a day one impact, but that he would be very involved, and perhaps the most prolific overall going forward.

Shepard is terrific and he's apparently a great kid. Would be perfect as out slot WR.

  • Vonn Bell, S, Ohio State (STM)
  • Tyler Boyd, WR, Pittsburgh (COM, WOR)
  • Vernon Butler, DT/NT, Louisiana Tech (SR, WOR, PRI)
  • Corey Coleman, WR, Baylor (STM)
  • Su'a Cravens, OLB, USC (STM)
  • Kevin Dodd, DE, Clemson (PRI)
  • Derrick Henry, RB, Alabama (STM, PRI)
  • Germain Ifedi, OT, Texas A&M (COM, PRI, WOR)
  • Jayron Kearse, S, Clemson (STM)
  • Shaq Lawson, DE/3-4OLB, Clemson (PRI, WOR)
  • Emmanuel Ogbah, DE/3-4DE, Oklahoma State (WOR)
  • Jarran Reed, DT/3-4DE/NT, Alabama (WOR, PRI)
  • A'Shawn Robinson, DT/3-4DE/NT, Alabama (PRI)
  • Sterling Shepard, WR, Oklahoma (COM)
  • Darian Thompson, S, Boise State (PRI, WOR)

Looking at this list, Boyd, Kearse, Bell and Thompson are not 1st round talents. And Robinson will certainly be gone the time we pick.

I believe Dodd and Lawson will likely be gone by our pick so @ #30 my top choices would be Emmanuel Ogbah, Su'a Cravens or Corey Coleman. I believe Vonn Bell & Sterling Shepard could be very good players and are borderline 1st rounders.

I don't want a DT in the 1st round given the talent the Panthers already at that position so I didn't even consider A'shawn Robinson, Jarran Reed or Vernon Butler.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      By NCBlu · Posted

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
