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.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
