Tyler Warren will only work out for a select number of teams, Panthers are currently not interested.

"Warren is a bit of an acquired taste, and not everyone has him as the top tight end in the draft. He’s the No. 2 player at the position on my board after Colston Loveland. One team told me Friday that Warren is the fourth player at tight end on their board."

This is what I keep telling the Warren stans. He isn't the generational talent they believe he is.

I honestly think Mason Taylor is the sleeper TE. He could end up as the best of the class.

But they run him in the wild cat!!!!!! Seriously, you hope he becomes TJ Hockenson, which is perfectly fine, but not at 8 for a team that doesn't stress the TE position.

Princely is supposed to go off the board between about 35 and 50, which suggests that the Panthers could move up for him--especially if they move back in round 1.

I REALLY like this edge for the Panthers.  Not sold on Walker (love the kid), Stewart (big ole bowl of NOPE), Williams (too much unknown about him, but he is a stud)...

The film shows a pass rusher who operates best with his hand in the dirt in wide alignments where he can maximize his length and burst. His third-down impact jumps off the screen – the way he embarrassed Georgia's right tackle with a lightning-quick first step before countering inside showcases exactly what he brings to an NFL front. Moving him around the formation unlocks his versatility - he's got the juice to threaten the edge and enough savvy to loop inside on stunts, creating constant confusion for protection schemes.

When studying his season-long progression at Ole Miss, his technical growth under position coach Randall Joyner stands out. Early in the year, he was winning primarily on pure athleticism. By November, he was setting up tackles with deliberate rush plans, shown perfectly in that three-game stretch where he racked up six sacks using three different signature moves. The consistency in high-leverage situations - third downs, two-minute drills, red zone - demonstrates a rusher ready to contribute in crucial passing situations from day one.

After breaking down over 500 snaps, Umanmielen's blend of physical skills and technical refinement suggests a player whose development is still on a sharp upward trajectory. His dominance against SEC competition wasn't just about winning with athleticism - it was his ability to string together multiple rush moves and counter effectively when his initial plan failed. In the right system that lets him pin his ears back and hunt quarterbacks from wide alignments, he has the tools to become one of the premier pass rushers in this class. 

This suggests he is a learner and will work to get better.  Now, the other teams that like him according to this tweet --Atlanta (picking 46th in round 2), Tampa Bay (picking 53rd in round 2), and Green Bay (picking 54th in round 2) will pick before the Panthers in Round 2.  If you see Carolina trading up in in round 2 to around 43-44-45, it will cost them both 4th rounders (estimate). However, if they have a S, Edge, and WR on days 1 and 2, the fourth rounders would be worth it.

    • If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.
    • Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
    • it's not so much this personal vendetta against the Carolina Panthers as it is more about Bryce Young never not once been in the same conversation with the top 15 or even top 20 Qbs in the NFL ..just saying
