Who's making the "Round 1, Panthers Select Mykel Williams" thread?

 

Not to poop on this, but I do not see him as a 3-4 fit. I mean hybrid DL and he's a freak. Freaks are easy to fit, but he's too small for end this year and he's never covered TEs, WRs, or RBs on passing routes so OLB is a long path. 

There's always pure 4-3 guys and pure 3-4 guys. Same for pure zone CBs. I think Williams is gifted and tough, but he's a pure 4-3 guy.

I'm not saying he's the right pick or the worst pick, I'm just saying he's the pick.

Despite the Huddle being in love with the term, the Panthers don't really do smokescreens. If there's a leak we're interested, Mykel is probably the pick.

Yep

honestly, not sure I want Evero making the pick or influencing the pick either…doubtful that he is here next year and wasn’t he pounding  the table to trade up for DJ (might’ve been Baron, I forget,  but both Baron and DJ are forgettable in any case )

as much as they need an Edge, rd 1 pick, particularly a top 10 pick,  needs to be a starter imho. I don’t care if it’s Warren, just be an immediate contributor that makes the team better

I have honestly not heard anyone talk about Williams. None of these media draft guys ever mention his name. He only shows up in mocks going to us or NO. Some have him going in the teens. Yet no breakdowns or squat about him.

Tony Pauline, March 13: "I’m told the edge-rushing needy #Panthers are, in fact, very interested in Mykel Williams."

Joe Person, March 19: "I’m told the Panthers have a real interest in Georgia’s Mykel Williams 

 

How much you wanna bet Tony heard it and Joe heard it from Tony?

      Which Round Will Carolina Draft Sawyer Robertson?

      No matter what we still need a QB2 with potential to be a QB1. Keep throwing QBs at the wall until we find someone who sticks.

      Panthers bring back TE Feleipe Franks

      By strato · Posted

      Lot of different agendas dictating opinions.  I don’t think it was the best use of money with Hunt, specifically, but the concept of OL, I am a fan. I didn’t complain a ton because I am a believer in winning up front, on both sides of the ball. I’d rather have stout fronts than fancy WRs. I have complained some about Hunt not being worth his deal, after seeing him get pushed around in a game or two. It’s no crusade. And have complained in the context of shorting the defense.   They have leveled out the FA imbalance with the dual big signings this offseason, and it has always been the draft picks I am most protective of. Anyway The picks are the real imbalance. If you did a trade chart value of the picks we directly gave up for Bryce, and added the support picks invested for skill players, and put that on one side… then put the little 3 3rd rounders and a 2nd that the defense got over three years on the other it would be hugely out of balance. I just want the balance restored. Defense is still owed.

      Panthers bring back TE Feleipe Franks

      I'm one of the ones that won't let it go because it didn't solve the problem. We didn't address the center position which was a huge mistake. We were in position to easily take 2 or the top IOL. Instead of drafting JPJ over XL or Frazier over Brooks, we relied on an oft injured guard to center conversion and lo and behold, it failed as predicted. XL looks like a 1 year college wonder and an injured Brooks hasn't even surpassed Eric Shelton.  Bryce was also benched for poor performance, so the issue that many claimed was solely bad oline play wasn't. It didn't fix him bailing out of tight pockets because of being unable to see the field or him refusing to work on his atrocious footwork. Then there's the $$$. Lewis got a good guard payday. Hunt got a tackle payday. Pay tackles, draft guards, if you can.  I have no issues addressing problems through FA. It was not addressing C at all that's been the issue and still has been. Ryan Kalil was the anchor of our offensive line. We had years of solid center play and it showed. Now we're still piecemealing the center position with an expensive oline and it's still a shitshow. Why? Because the player responsible for what happens on the line presnap has little to no experience doing it. We did acquire a FA center this year finally. We'll see how much that impacts the line.  Spending on a center, whether it be through draft or FA is not bad. It's not a position that can have anyone just thrown in with no drop off in performance. A great center lifts the play of the guards on each side.  I don't like how we've built the line because we've ignored the hinge pin that everyone counts on every play. And the reality of the situation is, it didn't solve the actual problems with Bryce because those have nothing to do with the oline.
