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.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      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!
