Ultimately the best option @8 might just be a CB named Will Johnson from Michigan

Will Johnson is a great option here.

Here is the actual clip. Canales actually specifically talks about Jalon Walker at the 7 min mark. Seems like it was left out with the original post. Talks about Walker's play, intangibles, and what other Georgia players are saying about him. Walker seems like a lock at this point if he is still there at #8. I would be shocked if he wasn't the pick.

Every system can use a tight end. If the Panthers drafted Young to be a mini-Mahomes, Warren is going to be as close as you can get to a Kelci. 

Take him, let them improv. 

Right. He isn't a conventional TE. He's more of a Taysom Hill. Which could be particularly useful in short yardage situations when your QB is 5'10" and 180 lbs.

You don't draft Taysom Hill in the top 10. That's a perfect comparison for Warren.

Don't really know why you guys don't believe that Warren is a conventional TE. I mean, he is a conventional TE, and had a highly productive year as a TE in a big-boy conference. The Taysom Hill comp is fugazi.

Yep, I'd be shocked if we pass him up (without trading down for other picks, that is).

Dude no way is it a comp. They both are versatile, that's it. Warren is a very good TE prospect. Hill just plays TE.

Yeah I don't think the meme formations where he played QB are going to be viable in the NFL at all.  Maybe just as a trick play every now and then, but he's going to be a normal TE that feasts off of holes in zone coverage.

bingo that's the problem we want to play balanced football .however if you want to play balanced football then why would  you do this ?

this season it's been all defense while all at the same time ignoring the offense in FA 

the season before that  it was all offense & even  let a lot of key contributors walk on the defensive side of the ball in order to free up cap space so they can in turn spend more money on the offense & then in the draft they  drafted a WR in the 1st & a RB in the 2nd  

& then before that a few seasons ago when we needed a Qb  we traded  Caleb Williams & Jalen Carter &  2 seconds our WR1 DJ Moore for a Qb Bryce Young 

LOL there is nothing balanced about this team whatsoever if anything it's the complete opposite of balanced

Tyler Warren, who caught over 100 balls and is 6’5 255 lbs is not Taysom Hill. lol
