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.

    • Also, the fact we are comparing this one to the 10 preseason tells me we are in for another horrible year. 
    • Well, they're both in the same league (if you will). During preseason, Fitz went 3/3 & Sauls went 5/6, but of course Sauls was 4/4 last night (including one 50+). Both were Lou Groza Award finalists. I believe Fitz made two 55+ yarders last season, while Sauls led the nation with three. Fitz was 13/13 (💯) while Sauls was 21/24 (87.5). Fitz was a 3rd-Team AP All-American, while Sauls was a PFF All-American.  Career-wise, Fitz was 58/74 (78.4), while Sauls was 52/64 (81.3). I wish that I could see the attempts and knew the depth of yardage. I wish that we could compare practice kicks during their training camps, but we can't. Maybe someone with a PFF/CFF account can give that Basically it's just a matter of belief I guess. Seeing dude knock down four FGs and go perfect during a pressure-filled game for him is damned impressive if you ask me. I don't believe that Fitzgerald could do that.  That being said, I'd have to know more. I will say that it may be worth mentioning that we seem to like PFF this year and Sauls being a PFF All-American may be notable. Now that being said, the Panthers may not be even considering Sauls.
    • Ive said it 1000x times on here.  Our 2025 season will be dictated by the first 4 games.  poo the bed there and lose all confidence and momentum, we win 5 games maybe.  Go 2-2, 3-1 we got a look at 7/8 wins
