48. Carolina Panthers

Linval Joseph, DT, East Carolina

This is the Panthers' first pick of the draft, and many fans have never heard of Joseph. He's 6-4, 328 pounds and ran 4.93 at his pro day. Throw in 39 reps at 225 pounds on the bench and 30 tackles for a loss in 27 college starts, and he helps in the middle where the Panthers' defense is weak.

---------------------------

i don't mind this one so much. i'm calling a DL so this beast looks like a fair pick. i really hope we don't go WR when our DL needs so much work.

Joseph is the true flavor of the month in this years draft. Based on college production he looks like a mid rounder. But after looking closely at the tapes and his measurables, he is become quite the prospect. Still, a lot of it is on potential and not production.

See... there we go again with the DE talk too...

Boy, you all sure are knocking the hell out of Brayton, Brown, and Johnson wanting to go DE so early... At least with my OLB chatter, it doesn't involve a position that we have traded away a future pick to fill, nor anyone that has started there for more than a few games...

OLB, WR, or even G or QB... all before DL is addressed...

The only opposition to my own argument would involve us staying put at 48 and 78, and DL being the BPA... and it very well could be... That is why we have to make some sort of move... up or down... to get the best value from our first picks...

Well, the Panthers have interest in several d-linemen that will go in the first 2 rounds. So ignore that all you want to, but it is a distinct possibility.

That has nothing to do with how I feel about our d-line. Just stating the possibilities.

I agree it is very possible... But not because we are lacking in talent and depth as it is... moreso because it could be best value in our current positioning...

I am still on the Bandwagon for a WR. I just happen to think whoever gets Joseph is gonna have a hellava DT.

If we go DL with our first pick I'll be angry. Let the guys play it out...over the past year we have acquired:

Everette Brown

Corvey Irvin

Tank Tyler

Louis Leonard

Four DL in the last year...stop it already. I am sick of stocking up DL when we have 4 DTs to throw in the rotation as well as 3 solid DEs. We have ONE WR that is worth throwing the ball to.

The bottom line is that this draft is going to suck unless we trade up or get lucky with one of the elite WRs dropping to us. If we take a DT it will be a waste...I'd rather take any other position outside of C and OG than DT.

i don't care about them. i want to have the best DL possible and i don't feel like we need to be relying on those three so much until we are sure. we bring in the best players to compete for the job as possible. DE is not deep for the panthers at all and there is going to be a serious drop off this year unless they get some more help. i would rather that be an older vet but at the very least it needs to be addressed fairly early in the draft. pick up george selvie...that would suit me fine but i still want a solid vet more...just for the rotation.

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
