I don't follow college. At all. I rely on bipolar huddle opinions for draft concedes. 

Someone fill me in?

Derek Barnett is a very productive pass rusher. He passed Reggie White as the all-time Tennessee sack leader.

He has a very fast first step, shows good moves, and is a great guy in run support.

He's a guy I'm looking at too, and I think he'd work real well for us.

I'll give some links:

4m 19s - Speed Rush against Florida

3m 02s Forced Fumble against Bama:

2m 57s Forced Fumble for TD VS Georgia:

He's undersized. His length measurements at the combine will be big for him.

VERY interesting observation when at 20 years old he's listed within an inch and/or 10 or so pounds give OR take from every single Pro Bowl DE this season!!

Are we allergic to a Pro Bowl sized DE or do Horton and Delaire tickle the fancy of Panther nation more than a 20 year old Barnett on a 5 year rookie deal?

He's 6'3" 260 ish last I saw. Regardless as i said what will count for for him from a measurables standpoint will be wingspan.

    • I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.  
    • Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.  
    • The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
