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.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.

      Give Legette another season?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
