5. Carolina Panthers: Abdul Carter, Edge, Penn State

If the Panthers wind up with a top-five pick, almost every position would be an option as general manager Dan Morgan hunts for difference-makers. A lack of juice off the edge has been a particular problem in Carolina, especially when Jadeveon Clowney isn’t on the field.

Carter is not yet a finished product and is still learning how to use all of his gifts, but his freaky burst and developing power make for a promising foundation.
 

1. Jax. Hunter

2 Vegas Cam Ward

3. Giants. S Sander 

      these are the only 2 qbs in first rd

8. browns   Mason graham

10. New Orleans Saints: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona

Even with Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed expected back in the fold next year, the Saints need more playmaking size at receiver.

McMillan isn’t going to blow away teams with his 40-yard dash, but his catch-point skills will win over NFL coaches. Using his Gumby-ish adjustment skills, he does an outstanding job expanding his catch radius, high pointing and becoming a threat as a ball carrier.

This guy is not as much of a project as you all are reading into it - he is a 3-yr starter for Penn State in a tough conference.  He has 10 sacks in 12 games and 20TFL this year.  I believe the comment is more that he has only begun to tap into his potential because he is converting to EDGE from LB this year - he is already an effective pass rusher from the stand up, just adding to it in a 3-pt edge stance.  In our scheme this position is exactly what he is doing now at a very high level.  Just an opinion but his numbers don't look like a project - more a solid start with a fast learning curve, crazy upside potential.  Worst case scenario he is our best OLB instead of best EDGE.  He is my #1 choice at the moment in case that wasn't obvious lol

Its easier to build the defense in free agency than get a #1 weapon. Take Hunter or McMillan if available. If not, hopefully a QB is and trade down  

That is a very high level statement - realistically that is true for many of the positions but rarely for EDGE guys.  The top EDGE go outta the draft early for a reason - one of which is money.  Drafting them in the first round instead of signing a FA will save you $100M+ in 4 years that you can use elsewhere.  Outside of QB and OLine they are one of the most expensive positions on the team.  The top 10-15 EDGE rushers get drafted and then resigned for big money to stay home - you rarely see them walk in FAgency.

Yeah, there are a few guys at end with prototypical size that will be available later who can contribute immediately. Princely(Ole Miss), Sawyer(Ohio State), Jackson(Arkansas), and Scourton(A&M) all can be had later and have crazy high motors. Carter just reminds everyone of Micah Parsons, but has tendency to do the same things as Parsons and shrink when teams run right at him.

Basically this, but I'm positive Hunter won't be available anyway. I would be shocked if Jacksonville passed him up.

Probably going to depend on how severe that concussion is and if there are any lingering effects. A lot of guys recover, then you look at Oher and it ended his career. One of my close family members has post concussion syndrome and it didn't really show up in full until about 3 months after.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
