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.

    • I am not worried about the contracts because any/all can be jettisoned in 2027 with minimal ramifications. I would like to land him because you rarely ever see an elite, 25 year old center hit free agency, this is a very weak center class and Mays is a bottom quarter starting center(love him as a utility IOL).  Ideally this offseason we solve center and draft a high caliber RT/LT to fill the gap for Ikey. Then next offseason, pending outcome of the rookie and Ikey's recovery you can jettison Hunt(VASTLY overpaid), make a determination on Ikey's ability to play(perhaps extend him on the franchise tag as a "prove it"), and let the Ikey/rookien situation dictate Moton. He can be extended on a LOWER cost deal or jettisoned if Ikey and the rookie can take the reigns. Either way, both OT's will need to be resolved, we need an actually starting caliber NFL center again and we need to get rid of one of these OG's. Hunt is the obvious choice as Lewis is substantially better across the board and cheaper.
    • That's not a thing. If they can't find someone, they either aren't actually trying or it's a poisonous job and no one will.  Yes, plenty of them have gone with whom they wanted already. That's not really the point of the rule. It's to force teams to provide opportunities. It has worked well because coaches that wouldn't normally be given interviews are given that experience and teams have also been impressed enough to either offer them in the future or pass positive comments along to other NFL owners/front office personnel.  Also, we are over 20 years into the Rooney Rule. This isn't some new thing teams have to navigate. 
    • I mean, as soon as Svech scores on the guy, trot out your best shooters while the goalie is still in his head and go for the kill.  Last night made absolute zero sense.
