Panthers meeting/working out DE Tarell Basham today

"He is similar to Carl Lawson but I think you can get him probably a couple of rounds later or maybe more. I think he can still get a lot better as a pass rusher." -- NFC area scout

Bottom Line

Basham has the strength and length to play as a 4-3 base end or as a 3-4 rush linebacker, but his pass rush approach will need to be sharpened as he lacks the flexibility to bend the edge and attack the pocket with athleticism alone. Basham may never produce a high sack total, but his alpha playing style will appeal to teams looking to groom a solid backup with starter's potential.

According to Jourdan, Eric Washington is personally working him out.

I'm telling you the trade down option is good if we can get it and get another 2nd and and a 3rd or 4th..

If fournette doesn't make it to 8.. Trade down get a Ross or Nijkuo in the 1st and add this guy a safety and a RB in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.. We would be set..

Sounds like a perfect prospect you Groom when most of your starters are on the wrong side of 30... Hmmmmm

Right. You see what our front office is thinking here. If Solomon Thomas or Jonathan Allen are gone @8 (most likely will) they will select a developmental DE in later rounds instead of reaching for lets say Derek Barnett.

Now we can disagree there.. I don't think taking Barnett in the top 10 is a reach.. I like him over everybody not name fournette.. But if we traded down and got Basheam I would be happy as well.

Kony Ealy is gone because he couldnt get to the quarterback

and Basham is a small scool project whom at the next level is definetly not getting to the quarterback with his skill set or talent.the only way this is possible if the kid masters the bull rush,and i wouldnt be willing to make a second round bet on that happening.

however,the kid is strong as an ox and  should excel at containg the edge and forcing the runner back inside

Brees,Winston,and Ryan is whom u need to take into consideration whenever your scouting a DE for Carolina .so,a kid like Hendrickson in the latter rounds makes more since than Basham.

    • 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.
