Still some studs on board

At Safety

Gardner Johnson was projected the top safety by some people and mostbif not all mocks had him going late 1st early 2nd

Hooker was projected early 3rd.  Iowa has produced some good DBs as of late.  His biggest knock was people questioned his athletic ability but posted a sub 4.5 at the combine

Dieonte Thompson at one point earoy this year was projected a top 10 pick and then his stock topk a hit.  Really had a terrible national championship game.  Real raw, young, shouldve returned a year.  Kinda reminds me of Trai Turner in a sense coming out

Hakeem Butler, Big Freak WR who most had going late 1st early 2nd.

Kelvin Harmon and Riley Ridley still stiiting there, 2 solid possession WRs

 

Christian Miller, edge rusher, who some had penciled to us is the 2nd or 3rd is still on the board

Charles Omenihu, big Freak 3-4 DE who had a dominat senior bowl and most thought would go 2nd.  Reminds me a lot of Calais Campbell

Renell Wren, Big Power Athletic DT still on the board.  Didnt see him falling past the middle of the 3rd

https://www.nfl.com/prospects/renell -wren?id=32195752-4542-2041-ca80-11bac75769dc

 

Amani Oruwariye- Big Freak CB, who most had in the 1st or early 2nd.  No one saw him falling out of the 2nd

Hakeem Butler would make sense, big body replacement for Funchess. Then we can cut Torrey Smith and save $5 million. 

Giants Pick ahead of us

 

Id be shocked to see Gettleman pass on Hakeem knowing Gettlemans history of WRs

    • Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical. 
    • Football is not the professional sport where timidness and apprehension are justly rewarded. 
    • Bryce Young had a super high floor definitely at least won't be a bust safe pick we allegedly had seen in some time.......and went on to have one of the worst rookie seasons of all time.  They are all lotto picks.  And that is especially true for whatever they will be day 1 in the NFL.  I don't think Tmac is a sure thing year 1.  It's not like we watched him do his thing in the SEC.  He was a PAC12 guy.  I'm sure it will take time
