It’s amazing how year after the year the Panthers announce to the world extremely early on during the draft process who they’re taking. 
 

This organization is awful at keeping literally anything a secret 

It is very funny how obvious we are.

If the pick were going to be Mykel Williams, considering his lack of productivity, I would think the Panthers would attend the Georgia pro day.

In fairness, Dan was answering questions being asked about Walker because so many mockers pick him.  I think, if he is only an edge, then he would become a pass-rushing specialist and not a guy expected to hold the edge.

I think he called the 8th pick a "talent wasteland" (I was listening).  Wow.

Love how we're making it obvious that we'd love to trade down while at the same time trashing the value of our current draft position. Brilliant.

I wish the Panthers would at some point stop Panthering so much. LOL

Assuming we draft Walker:

Salisbury/Athens Ga, Charlotte/Raleigh, Alpharetta, Georgia/Columbia, Mullins, South Carolina/Columbia

Our first rounders (except Bryce) have been within a 250 mile radius of Charlotte.  Heck, three of them grew up right off I-85. 

Maybe our leased cars for scouts have a low mileage limit.

Too much noise about our pick being Jalon... It's a smokescreen. If I was a gambling man, I would bet if Jalon is available at #8 and we keep the pick, we don't pick him. 

The Panthers have told everyone who they are going to pick a couple weeks before the draft ever since the Brian Burns draft. There are mockers who have every single Panthers 1st round pick correct for 8 years. It's possible they trade down, but they really want Walker if they don't get a good offer

I think it dates back further than that. Back to at least Shaq. I remember Igo calling both Shaq and Vernon Butler and neither made sense for us at the time given our rosters. LB and DT we're probably our strongest overall units on the team at the time.

Typically, but honestly it's just an educated guess.  We desperately need defense and in most mocks he is the top rated defender available (especially if he is an edge).  As @mrcompletely11 has posted, Dan Morgan wasn't even at his workout.  We aren't telegraphing anything yet this year (like we did last year), because I just think we are going BPA or trade down and in most mocks Walker is BPA.  If Graham falls to our pick it will get interesting...

Everyone inside the nfl knows which team is gonna pick which player it’s not a “leaked” secret and we only care about the panthers information because we follow the panthers.

Especially towards the top.  You just connect team needs with players who are projected to be available.  If that teams shows interest like they should it just adds fuel to the fire.

      2026 Team Needs

      His dead cap is stupid.  Moton will be here for a couple more years.  It's not like his play has dropped off.  yes we need to draft a backup, but not necessarily round 1.

      I started laughing around paragraph three and the laughs kept coming. That man will never see success in his lifetime if someone sold him on all that BS.

      1) Marquise Brown (Shaheed might be a bit too expensive) 2) Probably isn't happening - can't afford to waste cap there. Just gotta roll with our TEs we have or draft one. Maybe Darren Waller if he has anything left. 3) Probably gonna be out of range for Reese and Styles, so no to drafting ILB round 1 if they are gone. Would be great if Woods, Faulk, or Terrell fell. Possible we take an OT also if they drop, especially if we move on from BC and with Moton on his last legs with us. 4) Not sure we have the money to get a high end pass rusher in free agency and would rather not burn more money on underachieving edges like Wonnum. Keep developing Scourton & Princely and draft an edge (ideally 1st round unless BPA other position is better) 5) Sure, but it would have to be a day 3 draft pick IMO (unless a really good one drops like Starks last year). Little out of FSU is somebody that fits Evero's scheme well (if he is back with us). I like what I see on tape out of Wheatley from Penn St, but I think he will shoot up draft boards after the combine. 6) Dalton needs to be cut the day after our last game of football this year... Not a great free agent crop of backup/fringe starter QBs that won't break the bank, but Mariota, Tyrod, or Zach Wilson are worth a look or start looking at day 3 trades for other team's backups (still would like Winston for a 6th rounder or similar value)
