Panthers Big Board

Agree with you on the Howard point, but it almost seems incorrect to rank him against Njoku and Engram. Howard is much more like Olsen who's job is to both pass protect and catch - these are known as Y tight ends. 

Engram and Njoku are F tight ends who are less relied upon to block and more relied upon to catch. 

Going with the theme that we seem to be "all in" this year, and JR really wants to win the big one. It actually makes more sense to pair Olsen with a F tight end (Engram or Njoku) than with Howard. That isn't to say Howard couldn't compliment Olsen, but he's more of a replacement. 

Further, adding to this theory is the point you mention: the depth at the position. There isn't another Fournette or even McCaffrey in the draft, this is however a deep draft at tight end.

I do want to once and for all point out that I believe it is a mistake if we aren't considering Malik Hooker

The guy is the prototype modern day FS and could drastically effect our defense for the next 10 years. If you want evidence of this see how poor Seattle's defense was after Earl Thomas got hurt this past year. 

My only concern for him is health. Yea he kinda sucks at tackling, but even Earl Thomas misses tackles. You can teach the kid proper form and hope he improves to passable in that category.

His instincts, speed, range and ball skills are second to none.

@Jeremy Igo  do you turn notifications off after one of these posts?

The retarded comments and attacks have got to be a pain, especially if you actually want to engage an honest question.

 

anyways, that's the order I pretty much am relying on even though I fully expect to be surprised come Thursday.

best case staying at 8 we land thomas, "worst case" which is not really worst case, is lattimore/conley.

then we move up for njoku.

i wouldn't be mad.

Fournette has a realistic chance of being there.

    • Wide Receiver: Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers – 85.3 One of the more shocking developments of the 2025 NFL season has been the Carolina Panthers’ ascension to the top of the NFC South, which they achieved with Sunday’s win over the Buccaneers. Perhaps nobody has made a bigger difference than former eighth overall pick Tetairoa McMillan, who continued to be a steady presence in the Panthers’ offense. McMillan caught six passes for 73 yards and a touchdown in the win Tight End: Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers – 91.1 Evans only saw the field for 16 snaps, but he was efficient in his limited playing time. He caught all three of his targets for 23 yards on just six receiving snaps while also grading well in pass protection (72.2 grade) and as a run-blocker (68.4) Edge Defender: Nic Scourton, Carolina Panthers – 77.9 The former second-rounder out of Texas A&M has been a force along the Panthers’ defensive line, and he was a key contributor in Carolina’s huge win over the Buccaneers. Scourton recorded two stops as a run-defender and added another while in coverage. Scourton also tallied his sixth sack of the year while contributing another pressure to the mix Safety: Lathan Ransom, Carolina Panthers – 75.7 Another Carolina Panther on this week’s list, Ransom has typically been stronger in run defense — he carries an 85.2 grade in that field on the season. But Sunday against the Buccaneers was his best day in coverage. Ransom intercepted his only target, which wound up being the game-winner that put the Panthers in the driver’s seat in the NFC South
