I am firmly, 100%, on the Mykel bandwagon. 

Lock down the run game. Develop the pass rush moves, which are not as bad as people say here.

He doesn't need 15+ sacks out of the gate to be successful. 7-10 with strong run game impact would be a great year one in my opinion. 

7-10 sacks from him would be insane. That’s nick bosa/will Anderson. If we drafted him I’d be pleasantly surprised with 4-5 and locking up the run.

With the new DL, we should be better at edge by simple addition.  

What player would have the biggest impact on the Panthers? 

I still see the plan to trade back and take Emmanwori if we can find a trade partner.  Why, you ask?  S is a huge need and they have really only looked at 1 visits/meetings.  We will try to trade up for Princely in the second.  A WR in the third  (Bech or Noel).

I was high on Mykel Williams to start the season, then very low on him during the scouting process.

Now, I'm comfortable with the pick. Him and Shemar Stewart are the two best strong-side front-seven guys in this draft and Mykel has tape from earlier in his college career to show the production that you expect from his measurables. If the decision makers feel that getting a guy for life after Clowney would be best to keep the run defense strong after this season, I can understand that.

Though I could also understand them looking for a pass rusher on the weak-side that can attract double teams and open up things for the LBs + Moehrig on blitzes the way Burns was used.

Walker/Stewart>Mykel on EDGE for me

I’d still like to add TMac. 
 

The only two WRs we have contracted beyond this year are XL and Coker (ERFA). Moving forward with TMac and those two feels much better.

I don't think it is insane. Micah P 12, TJ Watt 7, Will Anderson 7, Nick Bosa 9.

So, 7-10 is my hope vs some folks who think that and Edge player needs 12+ sacks right out of the gate to be successful.  That is what I think is insane, but I understand your point on 7-10 might still be high.

Yeah I mean that as a good thing, as in if we drafted him at 8 and he was as advertised in the run + got 7-10 sacks we stole him there.

A sack is not the best measure of an edge anyway--tackles (holding the edge) and pressures--moving the qb off his mark. Some edges don't have DTs that collapse the pocket and others are doubled.  Some go against strong OTs.  If you look at the stats, many get all their sacks in about 5 of 12 games. If your team is ahead, the offense is playing from behind and passing more--there is little to read.  I have seen some players get sacks when the initial pressure forced the qb to them. If the QB is right handed and he rolls away from you because you play RDE, sacks are harder. If the secondary sucks the qb throws it faster.  It just depends on conditions more than it should, in my opinion.  ..So if we are measuring using a play that, if it occurs once per game you are in the pro bowl, we may be missing some important stuff.  I could argue both sides, but there are just so many variables in this case that occurs so rarely, it should not be the the supreme measure of excellence for edge players, imo.

Who was the pick 

It is complicated, but genius.  First, you trade all your picks for 2025.  We aren't hoisting the Lombardi this year anyway. Fill the remaining needs with UDFAs.  With about 3-4 first rounders and 3-4 second rounders in 2026, you draft the top 3-4 QBs in the 2026 Draft in round 1.  Between the first round and day 2, you trade the quarterbacks to desperate teams who need a qb at above market value because you cornered the market--on day 2 you have about 8 second rounders, 5 third rounders, and a few 2027 draft picks--including a first rounder or two.  Load your roster with second and third rounders.  trade your fourth - seventh rounders for future draft picks.  In 2027, you have 2-3 first rounders.  Take the BPA.   Hoist the Lombardi.

      MLB Devin Lloyd for WR Jalen Coker??

      By shaqattaq · Posted

      I'm not to sure it's a solid argument to try to estimate what he will do this season, BUT he's had a solid 3 years in the league. Here's his numbers compared to Jewell's for the same time period. I can see the logic of getting a starting MLB for a (at best) WR4. AT, XL and Tmac are certainly our top 3 guys IN 2025. Certainly worth pondering.

      Training camp just started and it's already starting... https://www.facebook.com/reel/24277303321904901/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v LOL No one believes you and you have fan pages sharing this with a "Play him or trade him" headline. Oh wee mayne. This is why no front offices wanted any part of this.

      MLB Devin Lloyd for WR Jalen Coker??

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Honestly, it only makes sense if you're trying to chase being the best bad team you can be this year. The number one question we need answered this season is whether or not Bryce is our long-term franchise QB. Trading away a second year WR who was second on the team in catch percentage, first in yards per target, and who clearly outplayed your 1st round pick for a likely one year rental fill in LB is exactly the type of short sighted desperation moves that has made us the worst franchise in the league under Tepper. We gotta stop making these types of moves and just focus on building a good organization and a good roster. Lloyd is a JAG LB another bad team and awful defense is wavering on and a couple of Panthers fans are salivating over him. Oof. We just need to be patient and wait. Definitely make some calls around the league to teams deep at LB and see if there's an opportunity to add one for a late round pick. Definitely shop the waiver wire hard. The reality is that LB is almost certainly going to be a weakness for us this year. We weren't fixing our entire roster in one off-season and we're not fixing an overall weak positional group in late July.  If you trade for Lloyd LB is still a weakness and you've given up a young promising WR who could potentially help you answer the question of whether or not Bryce is that guy. That's bad football business.
