I've really started coming along to him lately, especially seeing how much we're looking at a 3-4 look. Dude's got ton of talent and similar stats to Von Miller's college career at similar frame.

His play's also very encouraging. Hope we get him.

From a nice article RoaringRiot wrote

https://theriotreport.com/four-defensive-linemen-for-the-panthers-to-consider-in-the-first-round/

“I think teams are considering me both in a 3-4 and a 4-3. I talk to teams about dropping, and also about staying down in a (three-point) stance; and just playing off the edge. Pass rushers are definitely at a premium in the NFL. It’s a passing league; teams want people who are going to get after the quarterback, most definitely.”

Thing I love the most about him is his flat out versatility.

He reminds me a Lot of Mack as far as his ability to drop in coverage

He also is tall and long, but has Elite bend which is Huge for a pass rusher

I don't like how obvious we're making this. I don't worry so much about teams already ahead of us in the draft order. They have to know there's virtually no chance of him making it to their second pick anyway. I worry about teams behind us who may be willing to trade up to leapfrog us.

I did the Everette Brown thing early without much study. It was definitely wrong on my part. Still feel like a lot of his success is straight line speed. Obviously NFL tackles (You know other than ours) arent giving direct shots on the Qb. That being said Id gladly take him at 16 if Sweat n Ferrell are gone. Ill throw Gary in there as well. We will get one of them. It is possible that the perfect pick will be the last guy on the list and the Hurnia boys can tell us how great he is! Ill take any of those guys over a Lt that there is no consensus top 3. Grab a project in the 2nd or 3rd.

I’m not a big college football fan at all..but from what little tape I’ve watched, I really like this guy. Seems like he has a great motor to go with his speed...and having someone that fast gives the other offense something to have to gameplan for which will only help Mario and Short( who I expect to bounce back)...of course it’s just him saying we’re showing the most interest. That doesn’t mean mean it’s more interest than we are showing Ferrell/Sweat/etc...I’d bet we’re spending a lot of time on all of the passrushers. It’s no secret to anyone we need them.  You gotta like the Von Miller comparisons...that level talent will transform this defense back to a top ten and we will start closing out these close 4th quarter losses

I'm in the same boat as well. I've made a quick judgment on Brian Burns because of his FSU Everette Brown connection. I was actually a huge fan of Everette Brown in FSU days and thought he would succeed. Unfortunately he was asked to anchor in a 4-3 defense that was not meant for him. I've always thought that Everette may have had more success if he was picked up by a 3-4 team as a pass-rushing linebacker instead of a DE. Now we have a prospect that's more athletic and has more size than Brown and had as much a prestigious career in his college days. With our emphasis on more 3-4 packages on defense, and with Everette Brown as a mentor, I think it can work this time around.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
