Just can’t get behind Carter because I don’t feel like he’s truly the BPA until around pick 15.

For me, I’d go:

1. Will Johnson

2. Mason Graham

3. Tetairoa McMillan

4. Malaki Starks

5. Tyler Warren

now that we’re keeping Evero I think Starks is a VERY real possibility

Carter is top 2-3 overall on a lot of teams boards. 

I think that is really premature to say.   Lots of question marks with him.   He is not strong vs the run,  just more of a speed rusher then anything and his technique and tackling need improvement.

 

That said if he comes to the combine and goes for a 4.4 at 6'2ish 250+ then someone in the top 5 will draft on that alone.  Id rather have tmac or graham.   Those are plug and play guys from day 1.

I think people are really sleeping on Evero and Scourton. That is EJ's prototype edge profile and build for stopping the run... and guess what we need help with the most? and he has 2023 tape to justify the pick. People are sleeping on the pairing.

I prefer Scourton to Carter. He’s much closer to the Bradley Chubb type of player that Evero wants as an EDGE. Only thing with Scourton is Jack Sawyer is just as good and you can get him in the second.

Carter is drawing comparisons to Brian Burns who we ran off.

I’m super high on him. Best safety to come out since Hamilton. Instant day one starter and I could see him being a top 10 free safety by seasons end.

High IQ kid that can play deep and in the slot 

Obviously we need pass rush help or our secondary doesn’t stand a chance but I’m looking at 2026 as our first competitive year. I don’t want to take a pass rusher just for the sake of taking one. Starks will most likely be the best football player on the board at our pick. 

Would be Evero’s new Justin Simmons

Where are those 2 projected to go in the draft? I need to check out the top 100 for this draft and try to figure out who may still be there at our 2nd round pick.

Both are projected 2nd round Grant maybe bottom of the 1st.  Grant was on that Michigan Dline with Graham.

Kenneth Grant- 6’3” 339 lbs

Deone Walker- 6’6” 344 lbs

Another interesting name for potential Day 2 pick Landon Jackson Arkansas, DL/Edge 6’ 7” 280 lbs. 

We will have options if we miss out on Graham.

He has plenty of strength and good tackling technique.

he is fantastic in pursuit too.

 

 

He is just 250 speed guy.  As you say.

But hey, so was Von Miller and so was Micah Parsons (who had a similar path and who they comp him too)

both of those guys went to a 3-4 OLB and thrived.  
 

Carter is no way strong enough to hold up in a 4-3.  Especially holding up in the run game at DE.

    • If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for. 
    • The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
