Nolen wouldn't be bad, but if we're considering him, then we absolutely should be considering Harmon as as a base DE, sub package 3-tech as well.  If all of these prospects are such similar value, then give me DH.

There’s a fear Walker might not be there. They really like Nolen though surprised if they take him over Walker

If they trade down he’s their target

 if they do the Cowboys 12/44 watch them go Nolen and then that UCLA Lber Scheswinger

I don't think so.  Watson really screwed them up.  I see something happening, but do not know what.  Cousins could be had in a trade--but they liked Flacco when he played there.  If it were me, I would not spend the #2 pick on Sanders.  I would go after a tier 2 qb because I think Will Howard is going to start in the NFL soon, and I think Ewers was rated very high at the beginning of the year--he knows adversity and he beat out a Manning while taking Texas to 2 playoff appearances.  I am not good at picking QBs, but I think Howard's run pass option and his accuracy is going to help someone.  Stay in Ohio and play for the Browns behind Flacco--

As many bad decisions the Panthers have made in the last 5 years I am so thankful we did not end up with Derek Carr or Deshaun Watson.

That'd be nice.  I don't have a problem with Nolen, if a team did their homework and he's good to reek some havoc, let's do it.  

And if we like that UCLA ILB...all the better.  Those 2 and still have another 2nd and 3rd to work with for OL, EDGE, WR, etc.

Watched everything I could find on Jaylon Walker and he is the best player in the draft.   Trade up of need be…he is amazing.  He sounds like a coach and is sick athletic.  Please NFL gods send him here

I don't know about best, the 32" arms are the only real downfall for him tho.  If he had 33" arms I think he would be right up there with Carter

Yes same but a lot of NFL teams think 33 is minimum for a passrusher to keep tackles at a distance
