After some consideration I have come to choose to believe that if Ejiro Evero wants this guy enough to endorse a trade up for him then I can’t wait to see him play in this D. I do not care where Interneters think he should or should not be chosen. Our guys wanted him enough to jump on him

You missed my point. Based on your post with a 3rd round success rate being about 35% why trade up for a player and loose resources. We could have gotten him at 93 and picked up another possible boom or bust in the 4th round our defense could use. 
 I don’t hate the pick and I hope we get lucky. I dislike the loss of resources (loss of 4th).

You state that like it is fact.

80) CAROLINA PANTHERS: EDGE DJ JOHNSON, OREGON

PFF Big Board Rank: 237

This is one of the bigger reaches so far based on the PFF big board, with Johnson coming in at 237th overall. The Panthers are taking a swing on Johnson’s athleticism on the edge (4.49-second 40-yard dash at 261 pounds). He’s a 24-year-old prospect who recorded fewer than 50 career pressures on 786 defensive snaps in college

Not excited by either 2nd or 3rd round picks. Hope both prove me wrong. Had higher rated DEs. DBs, WRs & even a TE or two on the board when either were drafted. Does anyone remember that the defense let Mitch look like 2021 level Brady. I sure hope Evero can pull a lot of rabbits out of his hat next season. Just IMO

Coaches have an arrogant way of thinking they can fix everybody. This feels like they had to reach for Evero to give him something of value after taking Mingo in the 2nd. 
 

The low production and character concerns tell me this guy is somebody we should’ve waited for. But If he works out, nobody will remember or cafe that we traded up for him. 
 

Eviro knows the kind of players he’s looking for to match the scheme so they’re looking at the position and the board much different than most people. I’m meh … but will trust the coaching process. 
 

Im hoping we get some oLine / corner depth on the last day

After what they did with the first pick, people shouldn’t expect magic. We made a hole with DJ where there wasn’t one and the picks of course. But DJ was a big hole. It really is too many holes to fill with what is left over from all that. 
 

I am going to focus on Evero wanting Johnson, and they surely owed him a player by that point. The extra risk/investment is pretty small potatoes compared to what was done for round 1, not sweating it. 

 I really have optimism for Mingo. He has the speed he needs and more size than most that can motor like that. Plus, I think he will be a man on the field and his hands are really being underrated by some. He could be somebody.

He sucker punched a fan.

I get the impression he'll do well for the Panthers for a season or two and then punch his girlfriend, get traded or released, play a couple more meh seasons in the NFL, become an MMA fighter and get his ass kicked by nobodies.

And have a stan or two on this forum insisting that we could sign him off the street right now and he'd singlehandedly guide us to 50 straight Super Bowl wins

      The Ringer NFC Offseason podcast

      The division is most certainly wide open. The Bucs are a problem but Baker Mayfield is and will remain his own worst enemy it's a matter of when not if he has a bad game or even a stretch of bad games. As far as the Panthers they have done an admirable job of trying to address needs as best they can without pulling a Scott Fitterer and getting desperate which has only made us worse off in the past. On the Bryce subject all anyone can really say at this point is we just have to wait and see. This is the year and despite what the Panthers may say publicly doubling down and going all in on WR is as good as any sign anyone should need that they expect Bryce Young to have a very productive and convincing season. The pieces are in place. They aren't perfect but nothing ever will be. Regardless there's honestly no excuse for this staff and this team not to be able to compete in this iteration of the NFC South. Also just want to say this because I can say the hyper defensive posts already being made in here and it's probably going to be a season with highs and lows again but hopefully more highs for sure. But just because there is dialogue about a position group or a player that challenges your preconceived notions or makes you uncomfortable does not make it "hate" or "anti" this player or that player. For some people who talk a lot about nuance you would think this wouldn't need to be stated but that's where we're at.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      If I was a coach I would preach "Don't let the refs decide the game" because as soon as you let the NFL the chance to help their bottom dollar whether it be teams that make most money or gambling then they will screw the team that doesn't fit their bottom line......is it rigged? No but do they try and make certain narratives happen abso-freakin-lutley. As I stated in a previous thread NFL players are the ones that SHOULD have all guaranteed contracts but the boot lickers on this forum disagree and argue for the billionaires in this world who own these teams, sheep

      I wont go quite so far as to say games are rigged.  You wouldnt have to work hard to convince me there was the occasional thumb on the scale but outright rigged? nah.   but collusion on the rest of the "business" of football, sure.  No one really believes that the only time the 32 owners act as one is during the negotiations of the CBA do they?
