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 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.

    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
