Chris Simms: Jalon Walker is the most overrated player in the draft

Meh, he has big upside. Worst case he is more wasted physical talent. I still prefer a trade back and an extra pick early. Lots of meh at top 10 value this year but that isn't big picture long term terrible. Just meh.

Yeah, Jalon is a polarizing prospect. On positive side, both Dane Brugler and Mike Mayock love him and think he's gonna be a star

Mike Mayock drafted Celin Ferrill. I wouldn’t trust his advice about dline prospects. Same thing with Bill Belichick loving Xavier Leggette. It was actually a red flag based on how poor he has drafted wide receivers.

And Maxx Crosby.

XL is not done. I wouldn’t write him off just yet.

Simms is wrong a lot.

He is but it’s stupid to point at his 2022 draft rankings to show he sucks. There were 4 guys at those positions (QB, RB, TE and WR) that made a single pro-bowl. None of those guys made more than one pro-bowl. McBride (his 2nd TE), Purdy, Jake Ferguson (had to be a replacement) and Kyren Williams. So, 3 of the 4 skilled position pro-bowlers were day 3 picks, i.e. on no analysts top 5 lists and the one 2nd rounder was his 2nd TE.

His rankings look bad, but that’s because the QBs absolutely sucked that year and the skilled positions weren’t either. Some solid defenders but terrible offensive players.

To be fair the QBs are just pick your favourite trash can 

Exactly, mocking a ranking of top 5 QBs in 2022 is stupid. No top 5 QB list in the 2022 draft had anything. The only person I remember saying they liked Purdy was Rhule but he played against Purdy several times. Rhule also was on the hot seat and not in control of the draft anymore. That said, Purdy would have been awful on the 2022-2024 Panthers.

    • 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.
    • I hate Marchand, but if he became a free agent.....
