They superimposed S. Barkley, James Pearche, AJ Brown, and J. Hurts running the forty and James is right behind Barkley, right in front of Brown and way in front of Hurts.  Not the best indicator for success on the dline but that is impressive. I can't find a dlineman that had a better time at the combine.

He's also already pretty good against the run.  Has some inconsistencies from time to time, but sheds off blocks and moves laterally very well to get to the runner.  Def a fan.  I see a Will McDonald with better burst.  Needs to pack on some meat, but he's a really strong prospect.  

Projected top-5 overall preseason.

He's gone under the radar for sure. He could have gone late 1st and ended up on a playoff team but now he's worked his way into top 10 consideration at least.

A few people have had him top-15 overall for a minute like PFF and I think it holds true. His potential on top of a decent floor is sky high. And at a coveted position. Personally think he’s PR #2 after Carter.

I think he is myself. Just depends on how motivated he is to be the best. Right most these nfl guys mock him in the late 1st. It's hard for me to believe that considering the competition in this class.

If I remember right, five months Peace was the early #1 on most boards. 

Then he had a ho-hu 2024 and dropped to the 20s.

It's just a bad year for 6-20-30 draft picks, it's basically the same tier.

He looked tall to me as well. 

Even before this combine, I had no issue with peace at 8

If it were me I would probably pick Graham if he's there and Pearce Jr. if he's not. I would either go Graham in the 1st and try like he'll to get Jihaad Campbell in the 2nd. Or take Pearce Jr. in the 1st and Deone Walker in the 2nd. That's my dream scenarios right now.

I personally think they need a pass catcher starter, we are at odds over this, but guess what I agree with your wants for the top two picks.

I believe 3 paths-

8- Tmac

57- BPA at DL, edge, LB, SS

OR

8- Best DLmen

57- best pass cather left arroy/golden/4 other TEs that fell

OR

8- BPA(should be defense)

57- BPA(should be defense)

 

 

In all of them form 3rd round til the 7th, load up that defense but use either 4th/5th on a RB, then back to defense. 

2 picks on Offense(starter level pass catcher and RB0

7 picks on DT, NT, Edge, LB, Safety, CB(if you listen to Dan, I feel Michael Jackson is priced out of coming back).

See I'm just the opposite in that I think the first 3 picks should be defense because that's where the most talented players are. But go bpa the rest of the way because you can find offensive talent in round 4 thru 6. Take a kicker in the 7th if we still have it.

You just gave me the main reason I want to use, ONE, just one pick of the first 2 picks on a pass catcher. Form experts predictions- starting DL could/should be found into the 4th round. Panthers need starter WR and TE, 0.2% that can be filled by mid round pick. Get AJ green(loL) aka Tmac at 8th, then use 2nd, 3rd, and both 4ths on Defense with a focus on DL/edge. 

they have three 5th rounders, use one on RB and the other two on defense depth. 

 us fans and the team will win in the long run!!

 I believe he was the main #1 overall back then.

I just rewatched one of the drills in which coach makes you go right left, then run back.....his ankle movement was insane.

      I believe in bryce...

      If you are an athlete or former athlete (myself?  Cornhole 2021-present; Disc Golf 2013-got a mega blister and had to retire; speed walking--every black Friday at Walmart 2003-2009) you know what it is to lose confidence.  Self-inflicted or not (in my view, a lot of 2023 was coaching and a lot of 2024 was confidence), he has confidence now. How fragile is it?  I think the light is on, the game slowed down, and he is ready to do his thing.  He seems to be "mobile in the pocket" instead of "running scared."   Last year, there were times when AT was out, Johnson gone, and all he really had was XL and Coker--a raw rookie with upside and an UDFA rookie.  TE was rarely a viable option. It reminded me of Benjamin and Funchess.   Moore had to step up.  This season, Bryce has weapons.  I expect XL to improve.  I expect TMac to help tremendously, and I think Coker will be solid.  Renfrow?  Horn?  bonuses.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.
