Carlos Dunlap

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...

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
