The draft season shakeups are starting to begin on ranking boards. PFF now has 7 ED ranked in the first round. Albeit that’s relative to this draft class, not necessarily 1st round grades.

https://www.pff.com/draft/big-board?season=2025
 

Notable:

Position/Overall Ranking/Name

1/2 Abdul Carter

2/9 James Pearce (somewhat surprised)

3/11 Mike Green (surprise, high climber)

4/18 Mykel Williams (fell)

5/20 Shemar Stewart

6/22 Jack Sawyer (climbing)

7/25 Nic Scourton (fell)

8/33 Donovan Ezeiruaku (climber)

9/38 Landon Jackson

10/39 Princely Umanmielen (surprise/slight fall, but high upside)

11/44 JT Tuimoloau (personally, I like him for us R2)

Sawyer is not worth 22..  He is benefiting from the NFL superstars who are white and play LDE--Bosa, Crosby, Watt--etc.  And he made a good play last week.  I do niot see much of difference/dropoff with his teammate, JT Tuimoloau. 

I am starting to warm up to Jalon Walker as a LB who can pressure the passer as an edge.  Get creative.

We really need to hope for both Ward and Sanders to go top 7. I think there’s a chance only Ward goes 

I also hope McMillan goes top 7 but there will be better players on the defensive side of the ball available 

Carter, Walker, Graham, Johnson and Hunter probably all off board by 8

Pearce is probably next man up. If Evero gets his way it will be Starks

My biggest knock on Evero so far is that blown 3rd rounder on DJ Johnson(but I guess that’s better than a 2nd on an injured RB)

If we could trade down  and get Green I'd be quite happy

Mike Green and I like really like Walter Nolan as well

I understand everyone wants to trade down if you think you can get someone 6-8 picks later and collect another pick and thats great but we’re so devoid of talent that I don’t care about getting cute. Draft good football players and don’t get caught up on where you take them. If you end up drafting solid contributors no one cares where you drafted them. 

This draft is so important for us. We can’t miss on prospects. So if you love Mike Green and he turns out to be who you think he is then 8 is not too high 

Most couldn’t believe the Lions took Gibbs so high 2 years ago. I’m sure no one is complaining about that now

Yeah I should have noted they aren’t listing Walker as an Edge defender on their site but he can totally play there as well as offball.

Just started my armchair scouting this week with the EDGE guys.

Not very impressed with Mykel Williams, was disappointed that JT Tuimoloau seemed to decline a bit from last season, and was impressed with Jack Sawyer's motor but he reminds me of YGM with better hand-fighting. To be fair to all of them, I've got only two games each reviewed so far.

Abdul Carter is a freak.

I'm very eager to dive into the Mike Green film. Got a feeling that he's long gone by the time the Panthers get to make their second selection (whether or not they trade up) but going to hold on to hope!

All I know is the roster is so bad, they need to come away with at least 3 day 1 starters.

no more ‘a wishin and a hoping’ a player will be what they are not based on potential 

that roster can’t afford that luxury 

just my two cents…particularly when the defense isn’t just bad…it is the worst in NFL history in points allowed and Im Sure in the sieve category against the run

still shocked they kept Evero

I have read various perspectives, some with Sanders going mid round, but I think there will be 2 QBs going in the top 5.  With the exception of the Kenny Pickett year, most years QBs creep up boards the closer we get to April.  This is going to sound crazy, but I could see will Howard going in round 1.  How you perform on the biggest stage carries a lot of weight.  Depending on what Rodgers decides in his Oregon black hole of meditation, it is possible that only Jax and NE (picking before us) do not need a QB--five of seven teams.  How do you not take Sanders if he is sitting there? Someone will bite.  Furthermore, Jalen Milroe reminds me of Anthony Richardson who was drafted fairly early, and Quinn Ewers reminds me of Bo Nix.  All it takes is one team (see Pickett, Kenny).  Howard's stock is about to explode--I think he goes round 1--I could see a team like the Raiders, Colts, or Steelers taking Howard.  Once the chips start getting pushed to the center of the table, people will overpay.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
