The Carolina Panthers — who Dunlap, a South Carolina native, has said several times would be his ideal team — showed the most interest at Pro Day. Dunlap held a half-hour workout with Panthers defensive line coach Brian Baker, and Carolina could use a defensive end after losing Julius Peppers to the Bears and a $91.5 million contract earlier this month.

Baker mostly focused on testing Dunlap’s flexibility and seeing how he takes instructions, and he said Dunlap has already proven himself in the most crucial area, on game film.

Baker also said the DUI arrest isn’t a huge issue.

“As long as a guy is a good guy — and I don’t think a DUI makes him a bad guy, I think he made a bad decision,” Baker said. “If a guy is a good guy, I’m okay with him. If a guy is a turd, I don’t like him.”

projected to be a high 2nd round pick on most mocks, not worth trading for him. If we trade into that range, it better be to get Brian Price..

we've got 2 DEs with tons of potential, Dunlap wouldn't be able to contribute anymore than Brown or C. Johnson.

kind of agree with this. if we trade up, it could be a DT(like price, cody etc.), or a WR like tate, thomas, or benn

I like Baker more and more everyday.

I don't know about Dunlap going that early though, it depends if a run starts on DEs early in the draft... From what I saw on NFLN, Dunlap didn't impress at the combine... Said he looked pretty stiff and wasn't fluid in his movements. But, they may have said he looked better on his pro day... I just think there's too many questions for him to go that early.

I wouldn't mind taking him if he's there though...

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By fanpanther · Posted

      the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
