Panthers Select Michael Barrett, LB, Michigan Pick 240, Round 7

[Carolina Cajun]

Looking at some of the highlights of our defensive selections I think I see that "dawg" mentality in them that Morgan talked about.  They all seem to seek out contact and like to play physical.

Older guy (25) and I wonder if they might use him on special teams and as an in-the-box safety.

[MHS831]

I think this guy is good in coverage and can spy the QB.  Seems eager vs. the run, but not that fluent in it.

Delete….didn’t see the other one so far down.

Not a bad pick, intense, productive. Potential special teams value as well.

If you can get something out of a 7th round pick, its a positive

BUST!

Saw some ideas that these safety/linebacker tweener types might become a little more valuable given the return of the kickoff. Looks like a great coverage player and locker room guy. You can do a lot worse in the 7th.

You want Lawrence Taylor in the 7th round?

Dude hit somebody so hard he broke his own facemask.

Also he's a grad student who is the winningest player in school history?

 

Yeah gimme that guy. I think he'll be more than a ST guy in time. And if not, he's a 7th so no biggie

Surprisingly nice kick returner as a bonus! That was interesting upon popping on his highlights. I could see how he could be a Evero rotational blitzer/run stuffer in addition to special teams

They seem to be focusing on versatility.
