REPORT: Carolina Panthers already setting their sights on positional priorites in next April's draft

Just saw the description in the link, and i have to say...  as someone who hasn't watched nearly as much college football in recent years as i used to, i did catch a couple notre dame games this year and a couple of their edge rushers caught my eye immediately.  IIRC, one was #42, and his build, balance, strength, and explosiveness reminded me of Khalil Mack.  I'm not saying that's who he will be, but i have a feeling he is going to be a great pro and a guy i definitely want on our team.

Edit: just looked him up to make sure it was who i remembered, and yup...  it is.  

Also, fun fact(s) - his name is Julian Okwara.  He is originally from Nigeria, and hd moved to the US in the 3rd grade.  His US hometown is none other than CHARLOTTE, NC.

So, what I'm saying is...  go get him hurney.

If hurney is drafting its a linebacker and a running back

look to your heart you know it to be true

WELL, THE LAST LINEBACKER/RUNNING BACK WE DRAFTED IS A BUST: COUGH COUGH SHAQ THOMPSON. 

 

BUT I WOULD LOVE DEVIN WHITE!!! HE IS A RB/LB. STRAIGHT STUD.

As a 50% ND fan (my wife’s entire family are ND fans so that makes me one, plus I converted them from Bears fans to Panther fans) I can tell you Okwara is an absolute beast. The other DE (Khalid) isn’t too shabby either. Michigan’s DL Gary is a stud and so is their DE. This is a good year for pass rushers. Speaking of ND, their Safety Alhoi is one of the best safeties they have had since Harrison Smith. Kid flies all over the field. I don’t think he can come out this year, but’s hes one to watch for next years draft.

It's not like GMs just sit around and twiddle their thumbs this time of year. Every GM should be working on this right now. 

I just hope that it's all for naught. We need a reboot next year. I'm hoping Tepper cleans house after the season.

I HOPE HURNEY, TEPPER, WHOEVER THE NEW GM IS, AND THE SCOUTING DEPT HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS BEFORE THE SEASON EVEN STARTED.

This is a great DL draft. Possibly the best that I can remember. If the opportunity is there, I'm taking two DL in the first three rounds. We have four picks in the first three rounds to play with.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
