Who do you like in the second and third?

Recommended Posts

As expected most of our conversation around here centers around our first round pick, but who do you like with our next two picks?

As it stands right now I think most of agree that Brown, Simmons, and Okuda are probably the 3 most likely.  Possible Henderson or Kinlaw (hopefully with a trade down)?

So basically either LB, CB, or DT are the most likely pick at 7.  So for all of you draft experts who do you like in the second and third, based on who we pick in the first? Might be fun to look back at this in a year.

 

 

if we go Simmons first, who do you like with 38 and 69?

If we go DT first, who do you like with 38 and 69?

If we go CB first, who do you like with 38 and 69?

 

Something like:

1st Simmons(LB), 2nd Jaylon Johnson (CB), 3rd Jordan Elliot (DT)

1st Okuda or Henderson(CB), 2nd Weaver (DE), 3rd Jordan Elliot (DT)

1st Brown or Kinlaw (DT), 2nd Jaylon Johnson (CB), 3rd Chase Claypool(WR)

1st Simmons(LB), 2nd Jaylon Johnson (CB), 3rd Jordan Elliot (DT)  I would love this one....the CB could  change, but if Elliot is there, I would take him.

1st Okuda or Henderson(CB), 2nd Weaver (DE), 3rd Jordan Elliot (DT)  Do not be surprised to see us taking someone like Weaver or Greenard DE.

1st Brown or Kinlaw (DT), 2nd Jaylon Johnson (CB), 3rd Greenard, (DE)

I would not mind these.  Bolded my comments./choices.  Greenard had a good combine--reminds me of a young Charles Johnson.

Bryce Hall - CB, UVA

What if we go CB in the first?

Or Simmons in the first, are you comfortable waiting until 3rd or later for a DT?

I'm sure some of these DEs will turn into decent players, but this class seems really below average. In regards to Elliot if I knew for sure I could get him in the third I would be a lot more inclined to not go DT in the first.

To me should the 2nd round really change based on who you picked in the 1st. If they have similar grades yea but otherwise your reaching in the early 2nd. Im taking BPA and not knowing who is available, I will take Michael Pittman Jr. I know its not the biggest need, I just feel long term it will pay off. 

If one of the top CB's falls to us in the 2nd round ( Diggs, Terrell or Fulton) Id definitely consider. But still iffy if Jaylon Johnson, Jeff Gladney, Damon Arnette, Noah Igbinoghene, Bryce Hall or Cameron Dantzler are BPA in the early 2nd round when one of those guys could drop to the 3rd. 

I like Derrick Brown in the 1st round. 

1- Derrick Brown

2 - Michael Pittman Jr.

3- James Lynch

4- Amik Robertson or Reggie Robinson

 

If we go Simmons... 1- Isiah Simmons

2- Michael Pittman Jr.

3. James Lynch

4. Amik Robertson or Reggie Robinson

 

If we go Okudah… 1 Jeff Okudah

2. Michael Pittman Jr. 

3. James Lynch

4. Davon Hamilton DT ohio st

 

 

 

Loves Pittman

If Simmons were the 1st rd pick:

 

2nd - Ruiz for Center/Guard. 

3rd - Fotu for NT to keep Simmons clean.

 

For the others, I do not know enough of the candidates/players for the draft this year. This is going to be a wild draft no matter what tbh. New coach, same GM, many defensive holes.

I'd be fine with this.  So we were thinking along the same lines.

    • Here’s a summary of the JJ and Luke podcast transcript. Opening / Bryce Young Fifth-Year Option     •    JJ: Breaking news — Panthers picked up Bryce Young’s fifth-year option at $25.9M, guaranteed, coming in 2027. Combined with his 2025 salary of ~$6M, that’s $31M over two years — called it a “no-brainer.”     •    Luke: Enthusiastic about the move. Highlighted Bryce’s improving TD/INT ratios (11/10 → 15/9 → 23/11) and the value of entering year three with Dave Canales. Noted $25M is a bargain relative to the $60M top of market. Luke’s Personal Update — Charlotte Christian Football     •    Luke: Working with Charlotte Christian school football program, which hired a new head coach. Coaches include Greg Olsen, Luke, and Greg’s dad Chris Olsen (a New Jersey State coaching Hall of Famer).     •    JJ: Jokingly quipped that Charlotte Christian’s coaching staff is “the world’s greatest” — a Fox analyst, a Hall of Famer, and the best Panthers RB ever — all coaching middle school football.     •    Luke: Praised Chris Olsen’s deep football knowledge spanning decades and his ability to connect with kids. Round 1, Pick 19 — Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia     •    JJ: Panthers were on the clock and submitted their pick almost immediately — a sign of confidence and preparation. Freeling is 6’7”, 320 lbs, played in the SEC in a pro-style system.     •    Luke: Loved the pick. Emphasized you can never have too many quality offensive linemen. Noted Freeling’s size, athleticism, and arm length as key traits. Said the pick also reflects team’s philosophy of drafting great people, not just great players.     •    JJ: Noted reporter Darren Gantt compared Freeling favorably to Jordan Gross — bigger, heavier, and faster — as a potential franchise left tackle.     •    Luke: Pointed out that young players like Freeling still have physical development ahead of them, comparing the trajectory to Christian McCaffrey’s growth from age 20 onward. Round 2, Pick 49 — Lee Hunter, DT, Texas Tech     •    JJ: Panthers traded up from 51 to 49 (pick swap with Minnesota) to grab Hunter. Played audio from Panthers area scout Kaden McLuhan, who scouted Hunter.     •    Scout Kaden McLuhan (audio): Said Hunter’s size is immediately striking, and that everyone around him spoke glowingly about his character, energy, and love for the game.     •    Luke: Praised Hunter as a massive (6’3”, 320 lbs, ~34” arms) two-gap nose tackle who fits perfectly in the Evero defense. Compared his prospect profile to Akiem Hicks. Said having Derek Brown, Bobby Brown, Derrick Brown, Terson Wharton, and now Hunter creates varied body types that stress offensive linemen.     •    JJ: Noted Hunter ranked third among all prospects in run-stuff rate and sixth in interior pass-rush win rate — addressing a perception that he couldn’t rush the passer. Rounds 3–7 Highlights     •    Luke: Highlighted WR Brazle (3rd round, 6’4”, 437 speed, 1,000+ yards at Tennessee) as the vertical threat the offense needed. Also praised OL Sam Heck (5th round) as a technically sound player whose “short arms” caused him to fall but who has proven himself.     •    Luke: Mentioned CB Will Lee (6’1”, 33” arms) fits the Panthers’ DB prototype — big, long corners.     •    Luke: Praised S/LB hybrid Zaki Wheatley (5th round, 6’3”) as a big nickel similar to Trayvon Merek.     •    Luke: Excited about the linebacker competition between Devin Lloyd, Trevvin Wallace, and Claudin Cherless.     •    JJ: Noted Panthers had the #1 “steal/overreach” rating in the entire draft — drafting players lower than consensus big boards projected. Around the League     •    Luke: Admitted being “a little jealous” that the Miami Dolphins drafted LB Jacob Rodriguez (Luke’s favorite LB in the draft). Has personal connections to Miami’s coaching staff (Jeff Hafley, DC Shawn Dugen — a childhood teammate).     •    Luke: Also noted Miami’s selection of OT/G Kaden Proctor out of Alabama, who will likely move to guard. League Trends — Bigger Tight Ends / 12 & 13 Personnel     •    JJ: Observed the NFL saw its highest run rate in ~11 years (~52%) and a notable pivot toward big blocking tight ends in this draft.     •    Luke: Explained the cyclical nature of NFL offense/defense evolution — as defenses get smaller to match spread offenses, teams counter with bigger personnel (12/13 formations), which then forces defenses to get bigger at the nickel/“big nickel” spot. Called it an ongoing arms race.
