Jonah Ellis  Utah

As you can see from this example, some sites have him as a third round talent.  However, he was injured (shoulder) and surgery prevented him from working out and competing at the Shrine game and SR bowl.  The video below is well worth the watch; it is the reason I am no longer wanting Chop Robinson, Austin Booker, or Adisa Isaac.  However, I would take Jonah Ellis at pick 33.  Full stop.  And I would celebrate.  Not only from this video, but it led me to watch other stuff on him.

First, he has three family members with NFL experience--bloodlines manner. Second, since he kept playing with a bad shoulder, his play dropped off during his last year (note the 12 sacks).  While he is not the best vs the run, he is very comparable with the others not in the top 3 who play the same position.  He is 21, and has amazing hands.

This guy compared him to a younger and more raw TJ Watt, and explained that some teams may have him on their board in round 1.  In my estimation, his bust risk is minimal compared to the others in the round 2-3 range.

I'm very high on him.  He is small so holding up in the run game will be an issue particularly year 1, but he has good length for that small frame.  Not going to bend the edge like Burns could but he has a good array of rush moves.  I'd look for him around 65.

Significantly more refined right now then Issac and Booker IMO, but you're really drafting those guys for traits and potential.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      I would say that seems like an odd comment from Morgan, but at the same time it's almost impossible to find a college QB declaring for the draft to have less physical ability than BY so you can assume almost anyone you bring in would be your go to QB sneak/designed run guy.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.
