Round 3 - The Carolina Panthers Select DJ Johnson - EDGE - Oregon

[Smithers]

I remember when no one knew who the heck James Bradberry was when we picked him and called it a massive reach…

Lol, because we’ve been so good at drafting the past few years that we should never question them? I’d take Simpson or Washington over DJ, but oh well, he’s our guy. 

I like Fitterer and I'm willing to give his staff a chance post-Rhule.

Likes like he was a DE in 2020, a TE in 2021 and then an OLB in 2022

Does that mean he is versatile or that he is really bad at 3 different positions?

watching Carolina hurricanes on laptop...

 

 

we traded up..while the "pick is in", the Carolina Hurricanes scored in OT to win the series in the 1st round of the playoffs .. simultaneously 

 

that's gotta mean something

 

 

Sameseez!

[Peon Awesome]

The pick and trade up make sense if the Panthers were dead set on drafting a 3-4 OLB and felt like this guy was the last one left worth a damn. But in general trading up rounds 3+ is usually a risky gamble cause those picks are too much of a crapshoot and you're better off having more chances to get it right. But not being in the draftroom nor having the scouting reports, I'm not going to get too critical. Time will tell.

He's not good at getting sacks, and he's not stronger than YGM. So basically we traded up for YGM's backup. Dumb.

He had more sacks this year than anyone on our roster not named Burns.  6.5 sacks in 11 games.  Trust the staff

[TheBigKat]

Why get a 21 year old OLB who absolutely CRUSHED the combine with measurables like a 4.43 40 when you can get a 31 year old college graduate who posted 6 sacks in 6 seasons

[WOW!!]

Sorry not a fan of this pick or trading up for it.. 

And seriously has Carolina ever drafted a player from Clemson?? Do our scouts not go to Anderson SC??

[TheBigKat]

Baltimore absolutely got a steal!

[Aussie Tank]

That’s that Seattle coming out of Fitt hahahaha

Perhaps there was a massive drop off after him

I wonder if they wanted Byron Young who unfortunately went one pick ahead

He's 25 this year - not much development left I'm afraid.

You worry too much about age. If the coaches are not worried why should you be?

He has zero development in the nfl. Give the team time to bulk him up and teach him a few things then let's see what he does under these new coaches.
