He’s a Tepper pick. Tep loves drafting local guys.

It's quite possible. He wouldn't be a bad pick for the Panthers honestly. Although I would probably take Starks if I were going to take a safety but that's just me. I think they are not counting on Walker or Graham to be there. I think the Mykel Williams talk is just talk. He is just a younger version of what they already have on the roster.

Being 6’3 230 Emmanwori is bigger than Shaq - some teams maybe looking at him as an offball lb. Great prospect. I think Starks is a late 1st at best

I'm not ready to slot these guys just yet. The rankings are all over the place. If you go on just raw talent alone the two safties rank higher than all but 1 edge rusher. So there's that. They are more talented than  Walker in my book, and maybe all but 1 CB and that's Barron. Johnson is right behind Starks and Emmanwori from a Panthers perspective.

If I were to make a guess as to who the Panthers will draft at 8 it would be Emannwori, the safety out of SC. So far they have spent more time on him than anyone.

He to me is a surefire plug n play at the fs safety spot for us. We run a ton of 3 safety plays too.  He is 1 of 4 I wouldn't be Mad at. His gametape matches his testing and he has high IQ amd character.

I wouldn't be pissed if it was Mykel Williams but Shemar Stewart HARD PASS. Sick of the 'tweener light in the loafers type

6'6 291 is no tweener. He has just never done shizz but his size is ideal for a 4-3 end. Don't see where he'd fit in here though except the end of the bench.

I mean he fits this team perfectly. I have considered the possibility that a S might be the pick for sometime now. The edge talk has drowned out any other position talk except the TE Warren. They only reason to consider not to go defense at 8 is if a generational talent on offense is there. Most seem to think that's Warren. So for now I'm going with Emannwori as the front runner.

I quit saying it when people told me he is a second rounder. I call B.S.

Emannwori will be a top 15 pick. Starks is hard to read. He has shown to have more versatility in the secondary but whether that is more in demand is another story.

The closer we get to the draft the more I wonder if we'd consider trading up with the Pats if Abdul Carter falls to #4.

They need OL badly and our pick at #8 is in the perfect spot to get one of the top tackles.

It'd probably take our 2nd rounder to get it done, which wouldn't be ideal but to be able to land Carter it might be worth it, especially if we can trade our 3rd + one or both of our 4ths to move back up into the 2nd later on.

Something like this...

Warren is an enigma for a offense. If you take him you will have to change your offense to take advantage of his abilities. You will basically have to become a Ravens style offense. You will be running 2 and 3 TE sets and run the ball a lot more than you pass. Your defense will still be ass and you will not be successful in shootouts.

He has also been openly saying he wants Carolina to draft him with all of the former gamecocks on the team

      What's wrong with Damien Lewis? He played pretty well last year.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Icege · Posted

      Official NFL Cuts Tracker Deadline for roster cuts is Tuesday, August 26th. At this moment (Friday, August 22nd) the only interesting names I see are... K Caden Davis (BUF) RB Ameer Abdullah (SF) WR Equanimeous St. Brown (SF) WR Donovan Peoples-Jones (NO) LB Khaleke Hudson (TEN) Abdullah, St. Brown, Peoples-Jones I don't exactly think we should cut anybody for but it was just interesting seeing those names. Khaleke Hudson was on the Panthers' practice squad last year I believe and might have even gotten called up? And of course, Caden Davis just because of the question mark at kicker this season for the team.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I'll say 6/10. I don't know that we learned a whole lot about this team during preseason that we didn't already know. We didn't play the starters enough to really get a feel for what to expect. We had one good drive against the Browns, one 3-and-out and two 3-and-outs against the Texans. That's an extremely small sample size across 3 games regardless of performance. My camp/preseason takeaways: Jalen Coker might be the best WR on this team and is certainly no worse than #2. Nic Scourton is going to be a good player for us. Possibly very good. Bobby Brown was our best free agent addition. Jack Plummer isn't an NFL QB. Not even a practice squad guy. Having anyone other than Canales and Evero call plays was a really stupid and pointless idea. Our depth is largely non-existent, especially on defense. The three areas we actually DO have depth are on the OL, in the WR corp. and at RB. I can't fathom why Dan Morgan didn't do more to upgrade ILB during the offseason. We better hope Lathan Ransom steps up at FS because if he doesn't we have a massive hole. For all the hype surrounding Sanders/Evans, Tommy Tremble is still the best TE on the roster. I'm only slightly less enthusiastic going into the regular season than I was a month ago. I think our starters on offense are solid and we should be pretty good there unless Bryce totally regresses. On defense, we're probably bottom 3rd in the league if 100% healthy and significantly worse than that if injuries become an issue. We badly need at least two of our rookies to become high-level players early (ideally one of the pass rushers + Ransom) and at least 2 of our free agent additions (ideally Moehrig + Bobby Brown) to be significant upgrades over last year. Call me pessimistically optimistic 😆
