I still think we take Jalon Walker at #8. Walker is a consensus top #10 pick (top 5 by some). Williams certainly has the tools with his athleticism but his development and learning curve will take more time.  

Won’t hate it but I just don’t see us taking Williams that high unless someone leapfrogs us for Walker or Carter somehow falls to us.

Look... I think we all just need to come to terms with the fact we are taking Mykel Williams. There have been multiple insiders that say he is the guy. Same thing happened last year with Legette and the year before with Bryce. This team is anything but unpredictable when it comes to the draft.

Come to terms...

Nope, get pumped. I am officially on the Mykel bandwagon. I feel he is going to be a monster in the NFL.  His 2023 tape is great, I do by the talk of injuries hampering his 24 stats. Also, Georgia is a bit of a silly situation with so much talent all across that defense they can get cute and play guys all over the place.  Players are not dialed in at one specific role 100% of the time. 

Mykel or Jalon are my 1a and 1b picks on Def.

If Walker is there, they take Walker. If not the take Williams.

There is a lot to like. He is only 20. He is already strong as an ox. He is a silky mover, especially at his size. My only concerns are his ability to become a 10+ sack guy a year. If you are an edge taken in the top 10, that's the hope.

He isn't a hair on fire type of player like Walker. That is what makes Walker jump off the tape. But Williams has very disciplined eyes and rarely takes unnecessary steps/movements. He's more calculated.

This has been my gut since the initial reports back in Jan/Feb about him.

I’ve warmed up to Williams (Stewart less so) through the process. He’s not going to be the most athletic but could become a top 1B type which is still a big add. His limited burst and athleticism caps his upside but he’s still a very solid prospect worth it in this class (relative)

I don't think so anymore. I did at one point, but I think they have liked Williams more all along.

When Kay Adams asked Canales about Walker he lit up and said all UGA players have great things to say about him.  Makes me think they are asking other UGA players about Walker in their visits

I don't doubt that he really likes him, but the question is whether they want him more than Williams. 

I think a lot hinges on Walkers workout on the 17th, as ridiculous as it sounds. If his workout is pedestrian, he is dropping out of the top 10. If he lights it up, he could go top 5. Because his size isn't ideal, teams will likely want to see that his athleticism makes up for it.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      By Carolina Cajun · Posted

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.

      I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
