Perhaps the most underrated OT in the Draft

Love Jenkins, hes OL N-A-S-T-Y. But most know him, so hes not underrated.

 

My pick for under-rated,(well until I make this claim...) is Spencer Brown! Who?? Who is right, he played at northern Iowa and should be a 2nd rounder..

Don't be surprised if he's already a target. He tested off the charts athletically. Highest score since 1987 in fact and has almost 35" arms.

I think Jenkins could go top 15, but most have him at late first, early second.  If you look at trade value, that is more underrated.  You do not have to be unknown to be underrated. 

Untouchable, I have been spying Brown for some time now.  I think he (like Jenkins) has been on the right side, but he has the athleticism to convert.  He will go second round and people will be startled.

Yes, startled.

This guy thinks Brown is a first rounder

I stand corrected---this is the most underrated OT in the draft. Pretty sure that he was not on the Rhule side of the SR bowl--played for the other side.   Hoping Rhule would have had full opportunity to get to know him.

I am of the mindset--if Moton wants big money, let him go get it.  Do not see much of a drop off here and we could save $80m over 4 years in cap room.

Yeah he first caught my eye at the senior bowl. I've seen speculation of him as a first rounder too but day 2 is seems reasonable.

Moton in a contract year means you should prepare if you can, but he's been an elite RT since he stepped in and that's a tough one to replace. I'd rather get him under contract if possible.

Its not right or wrong bro. I did lean towards unknown some, just seen Jenkins mocked/ranked as a top 15-25 player. Hed have to go top five and that will not happen in this draft. Brown has gotten about 0 press/attention(outside of draft nerds), even Radunz has gotten run as first/second sleeper. He also didnt play and that put him further off draft radars. It would not shock me if KC drafted Brown with the 31st pick. The rest is below

Me too about the senior bowl. I forget which "expert" seen about 3 days of Brown. He told anyone if they need OL help, Brown is turning heads and not struggling against names. I did state the DEs this year are below par, but thats when I took notice. No chance a guy form Northern Iowa that bypassed a year was on my list. Maybe back in 2015 when i spent more time, but now I just focus on players around the panthers picks. (Plus top 40) Sadly I feel its too soon for Brown for the panthers 39th pick, I feel better value will be edge/WR/other OTs. Mid-late 2nd a team could/should draft him and maybe even before Radunz/other high ranked name OTs.

    • 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.
