There are a lot of edge/olb type guys that could be available at 33 or 39

Jonah Ellis

Chop Robinson (most draft boards have him gone)

Chris Braswell

Adisa Issac

Trice/Dorlus (seem like more tradional 4-3 de's). 

I'm going off of PFFs ranking. These guys may go top ten for all I know 

I'm really liking Ellis due to his bloodlines. Got like 4 relatives in the NFL. Plus he played at Utah. A team that always looks extremely well coached. Seems like a guy like this is just going to have an advantage in understanding the game early on. 

I like Issac but I'm skidish on Penn state players in general. Seem to have great athletic numbers but other than that one LB don't seem ready to play. 

Seems like with wonnum we have a serviceable guy on one side but if we can't get Young or Clowney, seems like we need some immediate help from the draft and Ellis is my pick for most ready day one. 

Who are you guys leaning toward at the edge/olb position? *doesn't have to be one of the above.

we just signed two edges what are you talking about? If anything what's the ILB looking like?

One is a rotational player and the other is a decent number 2, we need a pass rushing Edge. With ILB both Cooper and Wilson should be there, but maybe a bit too early for them

the hit ratio on these high second (and late first) edge types feels like it’s awful, I’ve become really leery of it 

yeah that's why the Giants paid s king ransom for Burns & the Rams were willing to part with 2 first round picks for his services

Braswell is a bit of a wrecking ball, not refined. Took a long time to get on the field at Bama, but great size

Chop is like a Reddick style player, out athletics his competition. 
 

Elliss doesn’t have the size or speed, but has the technique. I like picking guys who I watched wreck games live. I watched Elliss wreck multiple games this year, sign me up.

This class is abnormally deep in a lot of positions. Guys that would be first rounders in most other years will be slipping to 2nd or even third rounds.

And I'm not going to base what we do this year on what we've typically done, because we aren't doing really anything typically so far with Morgan running it.

He is also pretty versatile, from what i have read.

I kinda like Issac, I think he has the size and speed to play 3-4 edge.  Both Robinson and Trice look like traditional 4-3 DEs who might be able to play 3-4 DE, which I wouldnt hate

They met with Trice already, so they think he can do it--which OLB position?  They met with him before the Wonnum signing.  Heck, meeting with a player does not mean they walked away liking what they saw....

There is a guy from Colorado State that impressed me at some point this past year.  Kamara.  had 14 sacks in 2023, 15 sacks in 2021/2022. 

Sleeper?

Teams meet with players they don't pick and pick players they don't meet with all the time

I wasn’t talking about us.

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
