White will be a top 10 pick. And secondly, if he was there, why would you take him now? White is a 43 LB. if we go to a 34, Irvin is the only one that can play OLB. Shaq and Luke cant.

It isn't a guarantee.

IMHO he's one of two elite defensive prospects, so if he does somehow slip to 16, we should take him.

He should be able to play any LB position. Although he's primarily been ILB, he has played on the outside as well. He has the speed and skill to cover the outside, but I would put him inside with Luke on the 34.

I've been telling everyone he is the pick. He is a tackling machine. He will be another Kuechly down the road. We won't be drafting Ferrell like everyone keeps thinking!

I've been hoping for it in a way as well. The biggest question is if he makes it to 16. If he does, there should be no question. Luke isn't getting any younger, and White is versatile enough to play NOW.

Seems like Christian Wilkins in the 1st or Dexter Lawrence in the 2nd would make a lot of sense considering we would have KK, Poe and Butler as our D-line.

Yep. I see Dexter Lawrence making a lot of sense if we move to a real 3-4. Poe is big enough for NT, but no one else on the roster can hold that down. you need to be 330-plus. I'd take Burns in the first and Lawrence in the second.

Omfg nvm. Yall girls seem to forget he ever played for Seattle. 

He didn't play a traditional 4-3 olb in Seattle either. Know your defenses and understand it's about gaps and how you attack them. You can line up looking like a 4-3 but actually be in a 3-4. He was an edge rusher in Seattle.

I think Lawrence will be gone for our second pick.  My choice for pure NT out of this draft if Gaines from Washington.

lol he will not be the pick. We still going Dline in round 1 buddy. It's much easier to find a OLB in the later rounds and still get good production.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      with arm strength people often get stuck on the distance  arm strength in the NFL is moreso measured in speed / velocity .which of course is how long does it take for  the ball to travel from the time of release until it reaches its target ? & u beat world class speed with more speed on the ball...just saying

      No GM hits 100%. I'm well aware. But what a GM has to do is look at the roster, what's available, and future contracts and go from there. XL was a one season wonder in college. He has speed. Who cares. He body catches and his hands are bricks. Speed doesn't matter when you don't actually have the ball. There were other receivers available with better resumes. XL was a project. Fitts loved projects. You don't have the luxury of projects when you just traded away DJ for a QB. 1st round WRs need to contribute now.  Brooks was a luxury RB pick we didn't have the luxury to make. Who cares if Dallas was going to pick him. We had holes all over our defense. Chuba was coming off a fresh contract. We just inked 150m interior line and then centered it by moving a guard to center that had suffered 2 season ending injuries. The most critical area on our line was being held together by a bandaid and a prayer. No surprise when it didn't work.   Wallace is getting better but Wilson was sitting there waiting to be taken. DPOY for college football right there for the taking. That was a gimme pick. If you're going to take a risk on an injured player, the 3rd round for Wilson made a whole lot more sense at a position we were rest stop TP thin at.  4th round and on aren't going to be heavy contributors unless you're lucky.  He did well on the trade for Jackson. Coker, I believe he offered the largest guarantee. He actually got more than some late round picks make.  Those 1st 3 picks, IMO, were straight up whiffs.  Looking back at Fitterer's picks, I think he tried to plug holes because we had a ton of them. Problem was, he wasn't very good at it and he loved RAS scores and developmental players with a coach that couldn't develop a Polaroid. He tried to do too much. He was impatient. His other problem was he panicked during the draft and couldn't read or understand the flow of how drafts tend to go. DJ Johnson was the prime example. We needed an edge rusher and he jumped in at the end of the run instead of starting it.  Morgan's first year looked exactly like Fitts to me. Lots of projects.  2nd year looks better.  We'll see how 3rd year goes. FA also plays into all of this as well but that's a whole different topic of how it played out and planning with regard to drafting.

      The only social media I want to see out of XL this offseason is….

      I judge how good our players are by the way a defense covers them. XL draws no special coverage. Coker on the other hand always has a man over the top. It still doesn’t matter. You be the judge.
