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.

      Just a winner? He went 6-9 last year. Just because a guy got carried to the SB by elite surrounding talent doesn't mean much. How did Nick Files pan out after catching lightning on a bottle?

      Hurts is an elite threat with his legs though. He's gonna stress an opposing DC a lot more than Brock Purdy.

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.
