That is sort of what I mean. He isn't even a real EDGE. He is a LB in ED clothing. 

LB in EDGE clothing doesn't get 12 sacks playing a Big 10 schedule. This was the knock on Micah Parsons too and I bought it at the time. Not making that mistake again.

Lawrence Taylor was 240.

 

I should have worded it better, I meant the last very small edge with success at both is von. LT is the best defender in NFL history. Still Many OTs during his era were in the 280 range, with him it didn't matter tho. Just like with any spot a ultra small player is against the odds. I think Carter will measure small figures against a few categories.

Carter might go top 5, kiper was just saying on the draft special other day that he heard teams really love walker too so he might not be there either when we pick. Imma be pissed if we miss out on both of them. 

Kiper is not a guy I would listen to. There are a lot of good NFL draft guys now and he is one of the absolute worst.

Well it wasnt his opinion he was quoting. He said he talked to execs in the league and a lot of them really liked walker. For the record I don't care much for kiper either but that wasn't his opinion he was just relaying what he heard.

The size thing doesn't get to me.  I feel many still are looking through the 3-down 4-3 lens.

This basically IS the prototypical modern EDGE size minus the outliers who can play all schemes and are 6'4+, 260+.  Miller, Parsons & Mack examples aside, just look at the younger blooming guys right now:

Anderson Jr. 6'4 243, Bonitto 6'3 240, Tuli is 6'3 265, Byron Young 6'2 250, Highsmith 6'4 242, Huff 6'3 255, Verse is 6'4 260, Herbig 6'2 240....

Even TJ Watt's playing weight is in the 250s.  It's about playing strength.  Taking from that list above- PIT has 3 main rotation pieces at the edge that are 255, 242, & 240.   

That being said, I'm still really lukewarm about this kid.

      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.
