Finally another Big MLB and stop with these Midgets in the Middle..

So he's a MLB. I was wondering whether he was an ILB or OLB. Thank you for clearing that up. I'm not able to watch the draft. I just got/saw a notice on my phone and saying Panthers draft  LB from Penn State via trade.

I'm not convinced.  I'm wondering if they want him to play the Thomas Davis role here.

He can play all positions but Smith himself said he expects to play OLB.

He reminds me a lot of Manny Lawson. Their versatility, speed, athleticism, aggressiveness, etc.

Putting their tape beside each other and the players almost looks identical. For Smith it’s just going to be about development and consistency.

His issue is processing.  However, a 5 star recruit who probably was always able to get by on his athleticism (like Cam) so his processing is not as developed as someone who needs it to compete.

Not Luke Kuechly, then...but who is?

(besides Luke Kuechly)

      NFL top 10 Defenses

      By jfra78 · Posted

      Did not expect this from national media. https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/10-best-nfl-defenses-2026-texans-seahawks-broncos 10. Carolina Panthers   Key additions: OLB Jaelan Phillips (FA), LB Devin Lloyd (FA), DT Lee Hunter (draft) Key losses: DT A’Shawn Robinson (FA) Don’t be surprised to see the Panthers, who ranked 15th in points allowed and 16th in yards given up last season, make the leap into the top-10 conversation in 2026.  They added two of the marquee defensive free agents in edge rusher Jaelan Phillips and linebacker Devin Lloyd. Cornerback Jaycee Horn is coming off back-to-back Pro Bowl seasons. Carolina lost starting defensive tackle A’Shawn Robinson in free agency but essentially replaced him with second-round pick Lee Hunter, who had 10.5 tackles for loss at Texas Tech last season.  Ejiro Evero, one of the NFL’s most respected defensive coordinators, has plenty of talent to work with.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By bandu · Posted

      unless you have a bonafide superstar at Qb you bring in competition every year until you do & or at the very least you want a legitimate plan B in case of an injury .the problem in Carolina is they know Bryce ayoung most likely could not actually win a real legitimate NFL Qb competition right now & if & when he did not win that aforesaid Qb competition it would not only be a major distraction but a setback to his overall development.& moreover once the fans realized they had a much better Qb on the roster it would be alot of public pressure to start the better Qb  ...just saying
