No matter what we go in the 1st round edge rusher or OT .. Marty better plan to get his starting free safety in the 2nd round.. That's where the run is going to come from.  Between Savage, Abram, Nasir, Thornhill, Thompson and Rapp.. You can get a starter and not pray they fall to the 3rd round .. Or get a teir lower than them and pray he beats out the crap on the roster.. With the word of Galuden switch .. I can't see how they aren't targeting the top FS talent in this draft...

Agreed. I'm not sure there will be a safety taken in the 1st but there will probably be a bunch go in the 2nd and 3rd. There will be some good options available at #47. There may or may not be at #77.

Ageee I think you get a day 1 starter at 47.. Your gambling at 77..jmo

Is Rapp still a second round prospect after his showing? Better yet is he even a option for our team? I dont think we can afford another slow guy back there with rapp being most likely to play SS or in the box. I think that has Reid all over it, we need a rangey Centerfielder type ball hawk. savage,Nasir, Thornhill are My top choices here and I agree it almost has to be safety here.

Been saying this.  With the QBs and edge rusher in the 1st.  And even a potential to have 3+ WRs in the 1st which is more than normal.  

Combined with this years Elite Safety FA class where many teams with glaring holes there filled them (and remember teams usually use FA to set up their draft)

There is going to be some really really good FS guys for us in the 2nd

I was talking to another Huddler about this over the weekend, with Reids extension IMO Rapps skill set should be off our broad. 

I know we had him in a few days ago but a Rapp/Reid safety tandem is gonna get abused in the passing game. 

I think the safety pick kinda has to be Savage/Thornhill since Adderley will be gone

DARNELL

MFING

SAVAGE

JR

A edge rusher like Sweat or Burns in the 1st

And

Savage, Adderly, or Thornhill in the 2nd

 

Our defense will be back on track and cooking.  Back to what we were when we won the division 3 consecutive seasons

Seems it depends on who is there and their ultimate value.  With quarterback and FS both projected as high as our second pick I suspect if both guys we want are there we will go QB first if there are questions about Cam. If we go FS it should suggest backup QB isn't a huge need.

I know right,... what a waste

I’ll believe it when I see it...I listened to Smiths interview all he said was we were taking a Qb...people trying to predict how high is pure speculation. It’d seem to me that we’ve met with several guys in the Grier/northwestern/auburn QBs tier so they don’t have to reach on one. We’ve met with like every 2nd rd safety and oline/dline prospect ha so that’s an indicator to me of where they want to go

      I believe in bryce...

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Icege · Posted

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
