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.

      Forget trying to draft a QB in the early first round--it's stupid

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      I dont think people realize how hard it is to find a consistent starting QB in the NFL. Byrce will not heart us to a SB but I do think he can manage to get us one or close..go all in on defense and change the Offensive passing game and play calls. I really think our biggest problem is our HC.  Take New Orleans QB for example, switch him and Bryce and I promise you it'll look similar or worse. New Orleans OC is levels ahead of Canales. And as far as the draft goes, in this division with as much rb talent as we face ..the answer...this guy:    Pick up a couple edge rushers in FA along with a corner and plug this guy in Rozeboom's spot. Defense solved. But only if we get a top tier rusher on that dline....jus saying

      World cup ticket prices

      By HeelsPanthersCanes · Posted

      I think I'm going to the game in Los Angeles vs Paraguay, and the England / Croatia game here in Dallas since my mom is British.  For decent seats anywhere in the building(s) it looks like it will be upwards of $7k for the two games.  Insane. Just for perspective, you could buy field level EPL tickets for any one of the top sides in the league, and it would be 10% of the price you'll pay for crappy seats at the World Cup.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      Meh… I knew this thread would turn into a Bryce/Tua comparison, when they couldn’t be further apart situations.   Dolphins catered there whole offense toward Tua, they brought in a coach that would run a Tua friendly offense, the went in got the best most explosive WR in the NFL and paired him the fastest WR in that years draft. Panthers have done the opposite, they went and got a Pete Carroll disciple who likes to run the ball under center, they drafted big slow WR who got little separation in college. Literally the polar opposite of Bryce’s scouting report coming out of Alabama.   Tua was a decent QB 2 years ago, but the concussions, lack of movement have caught up to him. He never had a great arm to begin with but now since he doesn’t want to get hit he’s taking the whole offense down with him.
