Would you risk early pick on Peyton Wilson?

In my view, there are not many ILBs in this draft. 

We know that we need an impact player at WR---after that, I am not sure what our biggest need is--TE?  C? LB?  CB? 

After adding 3 Edge players in free agency, I do not see us adding another.  Not really sure about DL.  Does the new kickoff rule impact anything?  This is very difficult

Not at 33. I'd still be scared at 39, but would be cautiously optimistic/thrilled to have him. If he stays healthy, he's one of the steals of the draft and a difference maker for a defense that needs more leadership now and once Shaq is done. 

Also been said in ways, but I think his injury history won't impact Morgan THAT much. Morgan sees a dawg LB with an injury history when he looks in the mirror. I think he's willing to roll the dice on Payton if he's there at 39.

3rd at the earliest, LBer is not an immediate need with Shaq, and Jewell penciled in as starters, all but inked. 

We took Kuechly with beason still here.  He played outside the first year.  I think it's going to happen at 39 honestly

Depends ... but I do think Dan has a target for this dude already laid out. NO DOUBT in my mind he's in love with the prospect of either Wilson and Cooper. If I had to put money on it...if either one of them are on the board, they'll be a Panther. 

As for needs it depends on how they view those exact positions. I think center is a glaring need but they seem to have Corbett locked in to the position. With a GM in his first draft and Canales as HC "everything" is on the table.

Hell the Wildcard is the fact we brought in Bo Nix for a top 30 visit.

That is something I did not know--and I can say that the Panthers are targeting Peyton Wilson with confidence---He processes the plays more quickly.  

If Bo Nix drops to 39, do you take him?  It would screw us up on paper, but not having all eggs in one basket at QB might be smarter than having depth at CB or LB. Screw hurting anyone's feelings--he would be a good value and give you a backup (on way or another).  He is about 18 months older than Bryce, fwiw.

I see Denver making a play for Nix, but maybe moving up in round 2--but they do not have a second rounder, so it could get interesting. 

I figured Penix (with his injury history) would fall as well, and I think the Raiders are going to go after him.

No to Bo Nix. He sucked at Auburn and went out west to put up some numbers. He is old too. Brown was his teammate at Auburn. If we are wanting an old rookie QB who went out west to put up stats, Penix is the better of the 2 IMO. 
 

Bojangles would love to sponsor Bo though…

This is really a wildcard situation I didn’t know that we’re actually acting like a professional team Bryce may or may not be a good QB adding another talented QB is how we stay competitive.

This is something to really think about. I understand we have needs but having a talented QB who can get the job done is essential to our team growing and returning to a competitive ball club. Let’s say we end up without any early drafted CB’s we could easily add a free agent vet to get us by. A lot of teams lack in an area or two but good QB play usually makes up for it.

      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.
