Carolina not done in the first

Trading up into the first round makes a whole lot of sense for Carolina especially if they want an LT.  It won't cost them that much.  This will also give them another player that they can have a 5th year option on.

 If they can trade up for Darrisaw or Eichenberg I think you have to...you cannot put your eggs in the Darnold basket and not try to fortify the line.

They're not going to trade up in the first. They're all too chicken poo.

The front office are scared. Fitt, Tepper, Rhule are all trying to play the safest they can. It's why Horn was the pick. It's someone they evaluated to the point they knew what they were getting, and stuck with. It's a lot like Dave Gettleman's time in Carolina where he fell in love with certain prospects and made sure he stuck with them, telegraphing it the entire way.

If they trade up it's going to be mid 2nd and 3rd round for a prospect they're afraid won't be there, just like Dave Gettleman, unfortunately.

Could be looking to get Darrisaw if he falls far enough or Trevon Moehrig/FS who Rhule really likes.

I mean, a late first doesn't need as much assets and we get the 5th year option.

Jenkins, Leatherwood, Darrisaw, Radunz, a lot are there.

And people may not have realized but Rhule was chatting it up with Dillon at Lance's pro day.

Let’s hope the senior bowl coaching will pay off in a year of opt outs.

Didn't the guy with the hyphenated name from USC play tackle this year?  Is he projected there in the pros?  I've heard good things.

 

Edit: Nevermind he just got picked.

Regardless, whoever is there at the end of the first, I'm all for moving up.  Last time we went back into the first for a tackle, it was Otah, who had it not been for injuries, would've been a hell of a player.

    • I'd love blue to be the new primary.
    • not sure if any of this is news, but a good summary of our situation heading into training camp.  It's sure gonna be good getting Derrick back. After missing virtually all of the 2024 season, Panthers defensive tackle Derrick Brown is aiming for a full return to the field during training camp later this summer, per Joseph Person of The Athletic. Brown tore his meniscus in Week 1 and underwent season-ending surgery that has kept him limited through spring practices, though he did participate in “walk-throughs and light side work” during mandatory minicamp, according to Person. Brown originally stated a desire to be ready for the 2025 regular season, but his timeline appears to have moved up. Brown’s injury was particularly disappointing after a career-best 2023 season. He led all defensive linemen with 103 total tackles and was named to his first Pro Bowl, earning him a four-year, $96MM extension from the Panthers in April 2024. While he has never been a prolific pass rusher, Brown’s size and power has consistently commanded double-teams and created opportunities for his teammates. His impact was evident last season, as Carolina’s run defense ranked dead-last in his absence. The Panthers spent significant resources this offseason on defensive line depth, which should allow them to manage Brown’s usage more carefully coming off a major injury. He played a whopping 940 defensive snaps in 2023 (89% of the team’s total) and was on the field for almost every play before his injury last year. With new teammates Tershawn Wharton, Bobby Brown III, and Cam Jackson ready to share the load, Derrick Brown can take a lower snap share to stay fresh and healthy for the entire season. Here are a few updates on other Panthers returning from injuries:     https://www.profootballrumors.com/2025/06/panthers-injury-updates-brown-tremble-barno-wallace
