Charlie Campbell changed his pick again, this time from Stewart to Walker. This time what's interesting to me is that we pass on Mason Graham (goes to the Cowboys at 12) and Mykel Williams. 

Could Charlie's source finally have left the building and now he's throwing darts? Or does the organization not know who they want?

I like Walker. Not sure if he'll ultimately be an edge or off the ball LB who is a great blitzer but either way I think he's a player. Draft him to play EDGE with the backup plan of putting him off the ball.

My main concern for edge potential (which is the only way he's worth pick 😎 is that he doesn't have an edge build at all.

That's exactly why the Cardinals squandered the early years of Haason Reddick's career after drafting him #13 overall. He didn't measure as an EDGE so they tried to make him an off the ball LB and he was just okay until they finally just said, ya know what... why don't we just let this guy get after the QB? Then he started playing like a guy who would've been drafted #13 overall.

Yea out of all the guys we've displayed public affection for, I think I'd take Walker too.

I'm with it. I get parsons and reddick vibes from him anyway. And he would be the safest pick out of the edge rushers we are looking at. You know this guy is gonna fly around the field hands down. I would look at drafting a more prototypical DE in the 2nd round next.

That analysis of Walker is so contradictory. Need a true Burns replacement which apparently Walker fits? But at the same time he’s too small to be a base edge rusher in the NFL? Walterfootball likes their steaks well done, but not dry.

I guess, where im at, is simply this

a player in the top 10 of rd 1 should be a starter…not a project, not potential, a starter,

….not someone with question marks about injuries, character  or motor 

…the film doesn’t lie…RAS scores do…RAS is part of the eval…but it is the film that tells the story

…as this is the top 10 of the best players in college football that grade well in transition to nfl

your  team should be instantly better by the addition

yes, I understand qb is the exception as it is the hardest position on the nfl to play  im  not talking qb here.

If the best player is that TE, take him…if it’s the DT and he is there, take him and don’t look back

Yeah, I'm not trying to say he's a slam dunk and I'm not sure if he's who is pick but of all the guys that there's smoke about us liking, he's definitely the one I'd pick out of that group.

Weak top of the class and we've already narrowed it down beyond that.  Not much to choose from at 8, and I don't think we'll get great value on a trade back because of it.

Von Miller was around the same height n weight coming out too. If it was Walker, it'd be the best option of the edges unless Carter falls some. Otherwise get the edge in round 2 or trade up for 1 that's falling to the back of round 1.

Im ok with this pick, but If Im the Panthers I would try to trade back a few picks as its assumed an o-line run is coming right after us. 

We might be able to trade back 3 picks, grade an additional 3rd round pick and still get our guy. I would be trilled for something like that.

Miller was a little taller and a little longer but people make way too much about an inch or two on these measurements.

Parsons is a couple inches taller but his arms are actually shorter than Walker's.Screenshot_20250324-113938.thumb.png.bce667c34f72b3addbb614bb0725a7fe.png

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
