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.

    • The panthers are such a trash organization at this point that all the huddle can do is argue about which panthers team is historically the worst…good times. 
    • Well, hope they're not worried about a torn Labrum or Rotator Cuff, as someone who went through that myself, I know those don't have anything show up on X-Rays but from the MRI, so this is kinda a nothing update, hope it's not a tear or his season is already over if they decide to do surgery now. Which is basically what would be needed to get him to 100% for the start of next season's training camp if it's a labrum.  If he plays the season with it and then does surgery, he's not going to be ready for camp and probably not the start of the season either.
    • I always try to not pay much attention to a team’s preseason win/loss record. The 1982 Washington and 2021 LA Rams both lost every game in the preseason and went on to win the Super Bowl, whereas the 2008 Detroit Lions and 2017 Cleveland Browns both won every game in reason and went on to lose every regular season game. There’s many examples of teams that lose in preseason that go on to have good seasons, but equally there are teams that lose in preseason and that continues in the regular season. Which will we be?  I think our floor is a handful of wins, while our ceiling will probably be around the 9-10 win mark. The latter will require significant improvement from the whole team and coaching staff, and will also need Bryce to play like the QB we drafted him to be. I want to be optimistic and predict a winning season, but it’s really difficult as a Panthers fan!
