YouTube suggested this video for me. Probably my favorite defensive prospect atm (I haven’t actually looked at Graham yet). I definitely like Williams better than Carter or Walker based on what little I’ve seen so far.  He has very good active hands, decent pass rush moves, good against the run, good at wrapping up and ensuring the tackle.

Same. He is one of my favorite prospects based on scouting reports, but not sure how reliable those are. Still need to see more from more prospects but he is an early fave right now after mason. Definitely preferred over carter.

I'm a bit iffy on Mykel.  He has a high ceiling but I thought he miss-timed a lot of snaps, didn't have the best awareness with reading plays, and isn't a closer.  I may be alone here, but I have him as a late R1 at best.  He'll test well, but he needs time to develop.

I feel the same way

Re-watching the Georgia defense against Texas (both times), GT, Bama, Miss St, and ND specifically to watch Starks, Walker, and Williams and as much as I wanted to Williams to pop... it's been all Jalon Walker and Malaki Starks who keep jumping out. Williams also seems to not be on the field on obvious run downs, so that's something to keep in mind watching the rest.

Just looking at the stat sheet, he did enough, but I was hoping to see more. I know he was battling injuries (one of them being an ankle iirc, will have to check), so I'm keeping that in mind.

As a Georgia alum who watches at least the big games, I can say wholeheartedly that Walker and Starks were more impactful during their time there. Walker would be the only one in the top 10 for me though.

Seems like a reach at 8. We should have a good shot to get someone similar w/ our second pick.

Probably is a reach considering his overall production, but I'm skeptical that you could get someone with as high of a ceiling in the second (unless it's him at the top of the second).

I feel this is Carolina's main target for #8. 

I think he's one of their targets. It's tough to get a read on what the actual target will be on day 1. I get the feeling they are planning for several scenarios on day 1 if the visits and meetings mean anything. Most of the research they have done publicly have been on day 3 picks. They seemed to show a lot of interest in the SC safety early on.

I think you got a good grasp of their plan. I just feel they have done their work and have a good idea of who will be available. They mapped out picks 1-7 and Williams will be the their top target, unless walker is some how available....then he'd be a panther instead.

I am not at all impressed with him.  He is slow off the snap a lot, his few sacks--some he went unblocked.  PLEASE NO.

 

I agree. I was looking forward to Georgias' pro day cause mykel said he was fully healthy for the first time this year. Then .........meh at best showing....like cover up the name and school, that would be 6th rounder showcase. I've heard plenty of people tossing out "Hes a freak" etc etc. But guess what, I believe he is the apple of nearly all in Carolina Panthers leadership.

      Veteran CB trying out for Panthers

      By frankw · Posted

      I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.

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

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s amazing how simple it is. When you are winning 2-7 games for 7 straight years, you’d think people would understand that just drafting some starters isn’t poo unless they are above average NFL starters. Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase started their rookie years like Legette did so we got an elite WR in the 2024 draft. Luke was a rookie starter just like Wallace. Damn we basically got a Kuechly and Jefferson last year. Bravo Dan Morgan!!!

      I didn’t even say they would be starters. I don’t think Legette will be and Coker was not drafted. Coker chose to sign with us because our WR room gave him a chance to start even though we drafted a guy in the 1st. That should tell you something when Coker chose to come to Carolina even after we took Legette. We drafted and signed guys to potentially replace Sanders, who isn’t a starter yet over Tremble) and Wallace. Go look at our other drafts since Rhule. We had tons of rookie contribution from all of our recent classes. Why, because our overall talent sucked and we needed bodies. Go look at PFR. Here’s some of our players who “started” for a year: TMJ, Mingo, BC, Ian Thomas, Jermaine Carter, Dennis Daley, YGM and Roy. That’s what Legette and Wallace are right now although unless TMac bombs, Legette has kind of already lost his spot. We’ve had shitty drafts since 2018 and every single one has contributed at least two guys who’ve started so 2024 is tied for last right now and we just had a draft where we took 3 more players who play the same position as 3 of our top 4 picks in 2024 but somehow I’m saying that the 2024 draft class is good? Nope, the 2024 draft class was bad and our team is still in the low enough talent quadrant that lots of rookie contribute in our holes until we replace them. Been the same story since 2018 and accelerated as the old solid vets retired/move on.
