Panthers' situation aside, who are your favorite overall prospects?

[saX man]

Who are the dudes who you're convinced will be stars in this 2023 class? Regardless if we could or should get them, who are you absolutely sold on? 

Me:

Jordan Addison

Route running-check, NFL quickness-check, YAC ability-check, swag-check, big play ability-check, can line up anywhere-check.  The boy also likes the limelight, leaving Pitt for USC and thriving with Caleb Williams in LA.  Corrected his only potential issue back at Pitt which were a few drops here and there.  I see no way he doesn't translate.  He reminds me so much of Stefon Diggs with a bit more twitch--should be a bonafide ROTY candidate, insta-WR special.  Will be very jealous of the team he ends up with.

I get similar vibes with him that I got with Jefferson and OBJ in their drafts.  Something just seems so perfect about them as NFL WRs.  Just has it.  

Who you got?

Once we get the QB I think a move up for Michael Mayer could do this offense wonders

As bad as we need a QB, we need a impact TE just as bad.  It's going to hurt when he goes to another team.  Our only option is a trade back.  I wouldn't be opposed to the idea at all.

Another dude I like is Rashee Rice at SMU.  Good size and that guy is explosive

Gotta come out of this draft with a top WR. If we trade back for more picks, two WRs.  Shi Smith is a #4 at best.  Marshall is too inconsistent.   I like Shenault as a #3.  We need a legit rookie that can come in and play opposite of Moore.  Targeting a WR with that second pick in the second round, no later than the 3rd round.  Rashee Rice, A.T. Perry, Jalin Hyatt, Jacob Cowing or Xavier Hutchinson.

1.  Bryce Young.  Dude just has that poise and the IT between the ears.  Has more than good enough arm too.

2. Zay Flowers- EXPLOSIVE.  Smaller guy, but get the ball too him and he’ll be a play maker.  Reminds me of a slightly faster Tyler Lockett coming out.

Love Zay Flowers as well.  That guy is a perfect 2nd round target for us.  

On the defensive side, Antonio Johnson S is a guy who a lot of teams will covet. 6'3 versatile safety, he's going to be coveted and think he has a very low bust rate.  Could see him making an impact right away.

I really like Isiah Foskey. Big explosive athletic dude. He definitely has the potential to be the best edge in this class

That's a good one to throw out.  Definitely agree.  He's relentless and is good with his counter moves, just doesn't stop.  Has a knack for shedding blockers even if they get position on him.  Ton of potential, he's that type that can probably play 3, 5, and 7 tech and become an every down type.  Great size and frame.

Mid-round TE:

Luke Schoonmaker 6'6 250 Michigan

Willing & reliable block combined with receiving skills as a huge, long, target.  Gronk sized.  Hasn't been used a lot but has a ton of potential.

[CBird]

Really like DT Jalen Carter. Imagine him and Brown in the middle.

Also really like RB Charbonnet, S JL Skinner

I’d like to see Siaki Ika next to Brown, that would be an absolute wall.
