Panthers Draft Position (How High Can We Go?)

Recommended Posts

Taking a look at just how high of a draft pick the Carolina Panthers can get by losing out.  

Who's out of reach: #1-4 (Redskins, Giants, Bengals, Dolphins)

  • Falcons have the Bucs and Jags upcoming. Have a higher SOS.
  • Browns won today (6-7)
  • Broncos won today (5-8)
  • One of the Chargers/Jags will be 5-8
  • Jags play Falcons and Raiders upcoming so those teams will all offset/give us a chance to shift ahead
  • Lions play the Bucs and Broncos upcoming more of the offset action; they'll be hard to catch
  • Cardinals may win. C'mon boys.  They have winnable games against the Browns and Rams as well. 

So realistically, losing out (not intentionally of course :) ) Can get the Carolina Panthers all the way up to pick 6.  

I find that super super interesting given the top talent in this draft at OT, QB, & WR

Who would you target at Pick 6-8ish?

Sorry, but in typical Panthers fashion, we will win a meaningless week 17 game that will drop us to the middle of the draft.

The Saints losing may force them to fight for a bye if the Packers and Seahawks or 49ers are still rolling.

Also, with Washington and Scott calling things, it could be rough waters ahead against freaking Seattle and Indy haha.  Russell Wilson will be going ham next week.

I think entirely in the range for:

Tua

Jerry Jeudy (*Mouth watering)

AJ Espenesa or Derrick Brown on the DL

A top offensive tackle (I won't act like I know them but the Bama and Iowa kids are legit)

--

Any of these would be tremendous potential adds.

Jeudy wont be there

 

But at 9

Here's realistically guys I want in order

Derrick Brown

Jedrick wills

Tyler BIadasz

Javon Kinlaw

AJ Epenesa 

 

Would be hard to pass on those guy, but if CeeDee Lamb is available.  Would need to take a hard look at him, and would be hard to pass on him.

And If Justin Herbert falls to 9 you may go ahead and take him.

 

 

 

Best option for us

Interior DL and OL (no order on which first.  Go OL in 1 you go DL 2 and vice versa) rounds 1-2 

 

WR in 3, this is the Strongest and Deepest WR crop looking to come out in a long time.  There will be a starting calibre guy(s) around in rd 3.

There's some who are starting to sour on Herbert but if one of him or Tua are available for some reason, it would be silly to not take the shot.  The value at hitting with a QB is insanely high.  Way higher than anything else.  I know people want OT but there are other avenues to get linemen.  You kind of have to go with what presents itself and think long and hard about the future.   I think Cam can have 3-4 more pro-bowl level years but there's just so many unknowns including what Tepper & Co. see this offseason.

Saints losing will help as they will most likely have to play week 17 to get a first round bye.  The problem is that Carolina has the Seahawks and saints left which is going to work against them as they will have a stronger strength of schedule comparatively.

    • After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.
    • Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once. 
    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
