Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

[Shocker]

I see Ward going #1 and Cleveland almost certainly takes Sanders second.  I personally see that is a near lock.  The Browns are going QB

Jalon Walker would set this franchise back even further. 

Maybe they will try to trade down if they want to draft him.

If they trade down they won't get him

there is more of a chance that Sanders falls out of the top 8.  Let's have some fun.  Pick the slot you think Dart will go.  I will say 7 to the Jets just for fun--(as I said, it is unlikely, but tell me where the other side of the Grand Canyon is.  We will see who is closest if we both don't forget.

#37 to the Raiders.

The more I look at him the more I think Walter Nolan could be the pick.  Dude is explosive and plays really hard.  

Apparently he has serious character concerns, some teams have him off their board

Impression I have got is we can trade down to 11 or 12 and he will still be there. 
Hybrid player makes me nervous anyway.

Walker is 6’2” and 245 lbs. That’s a LB, not a safety. He’s clearly bigger than Thomas Davis was when we drafted him. He was a borderline safety, Walker is not.

Actually, from the combine, he’s 6’1” and 243. He’s not a safety but he’s a bit small.

Not sold on either at 8 yet. I get the nagging feeling they end up blowing another 1st this year. These guys look like 2nd round guys to me so far. A tweener edge guy and a weak DE that could be picked up later.

Luke was 6'2" 238

Beason was 6'0 238

Morgan was  6'2 245

Looks like he's just fine to me

If Ward goes #1, the Browns will draft Carter, that's the easiest pick out there. They will bring in a FA QB to start the season. And who knows, they may try and make a play at Dart late 1st or 2nd rd?

The big deal for me is that all of those guys were true MLB tackling machines. Specifically Morgan and Luke were well over 100 tackles in their final collegiate seasons. Jalon Walker is like a 60 tackles guy.

I like both of these guys but the more I hear sensationalist commentary on James Pearce jr the more intrigued I become.

he’s the only other “clean” edge rushing prospect in this class, he comes out and destroys the combine and the immediate “leaks” are “yeah, no, not even a first rounder.”

that’s suspicious to me.

He was talked about as a possible number one overall pick coming into the season. He put up major production. He’s tremendously athletically gifted. Those guys don’t last until round 2.

in any case I just want the team to gauge his personality for themselves and not make any hive mind decisions regarding him, this is absolutely the kind of thing where we pass on him and fancy ourselves really clever up until the moment Philly runs the card in to take him at record speed.
