Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

Remember when Jamar Chase was in camp and people made a big deal about him saying he wasn't used to NFL footballs with no lines on them? People saying oh man he's going to bust! 

How'd that end up?

Jalen Carter came into camp out of shape too. That was part of the reason he dropped considering he was thought of as the better defensive player pre-draft activities. It’s not a good sign when you don’t look great but it’s definitely premature.

CB will be in the conversation regardless if Will Johnson falls to #8.

With the benefit of hindsight---I don't think we knew about the medical concerns/knee.  Arizona got him at 47.  The risk dropped him.

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

This is what a lot of us thought--but since it was wrong, I decided not to post my bad predictions when there are others.

Just having fun reading this thread--everyone was wrong--everyone.

I predict that Sanders will be drafted in the fifth round, around pick 144, by the Browns.   I know this is not popular, but I just have a gut feeling.

I don't normally brag, but I was exactly right with this prediction.

Yeah, was way wrong.  Good call out

I was getting at the point that Green, Pearce and Nolen all have reported character concerns.

I’d argue Pearce can set the edge, he’s decent against the run from what I’ve seen. And not only that but metrics show it (graded in the high 80s). He can get thrown off dependent on the type of linemen but he’s much more refined as an edge setter than is let on.

You were right about Howard.  He dropped to the sixth and I think Pittsburgh got a good developmental QB...

One thing we know--don't assume Person knows more than we do.  When he is at his best, he is repeating tweets from Rappaport.    I realize you have to fill the page, but damn--he has no connections.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
