Jonathan Allen - DE, Alabama

 

 

Panthers add a blue-collar defender to a defensive line that needs a menacing presence off the edge.

PICK

Joe Mixon - RB, Oklahoma

 

 

Imagine Aaron Rodgers playing with a David Johnson-like playmaker in the backfield. Mixon is an exceptional combo back with size, speed, power, and home-run ability.

Allen is the pick I would be the most annoyed by of all the possibilities floated so far. I'd even rather have McCaffrey at 8. Allen only makes sense if there's no chance of resigning short and they're alr day admitting butler was a wasted pick. Allen may very well be a very good  DT or 3-4 DE but he absolutely isn't a 4-3 DE. Too stiff, not enough burst.

I second this.

Allen would send me in to a drunken rage

I love how just the possibility of this makes you think the front office has made mistakes.

I think Allen is a great prospect, but in terms of our needs he'd be he guy that would be about the least exciting. Then again, if the guy turns into Aaron Donald we wouldn't care about that need thing.

As for Mixon, NFL Network had an interterestkng quote from an anonymous NFL RB a coach that made sense. He essentially said that if you're willing to draft Mixon in the 7th you might as well be willing to draft him in the 1st. You're going to get the same scrutiny and reaction to the pick either way.

That's actually very well stated.

I guarantee if Allen ran a 4.8 40 none of y'all would be complaining. Before the combine it was considered a Star-like longshot of Allen dropping to us. Now everyone acts like they would hate the pick. I would be thrilled if we got Allen as he has been arguably one of the top 3 players in college the last 2 years.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
