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.

      2026 Schedule. My goodness

      By onmyown · Posted

      Bad news is Bryce will actually get use a middle of the round pick (9-8) missing any chance to get a QB. Honestly though I think Tep would be ok with that and see it as a reason to resign him. After all that’s the most success Tep can muster in 10 years.

      Yes.   It's been widely reported Aaron Glenn is an egomaniac and only wants staff who will not challenge him or tip the scales of power in any direction but his.   I'm guessing that has to be one of, if not, the most toxic environments across the four major sport leagues in America.

      Very intrigued how Morgan and Canales handle the offseason

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      Dan tends to attack one specific position group per offseason and the sprinkle others throughout the roster. He extended Moton, signed Hunt, Lewis, Nijman one offseason and then extended Brown and signed Wharton and Hunt and drafted Jackson next offseason. My guess is he attacks LB and Edge this offseason.    1. What do you do with Icky? Likely a scratch for next season and due a massive contract (if healthy) They will bring back Nijman and Christensen and draft a guy on Day 2 is my guess and hope one of them can fill the hole. 2. Coker has the talent for 2nd WR, but do you pay a guy who gets hurt that premium? I think hes your number 3 simply due to risk. Will the Panthers seek another vet or go surprisingly high in the draft? They will probably sign him more and longer than the RFA Tender to keep him happy and not break the bank in the process. Can see them getting a Vet in FA like Tutu Atwell or Hollywood Brown. Somebody with speed but also isn’t overly expensive. I think Horn and Tremayne stick around and unfortunately Legette. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Tremble released and a real TE in brought in, there is a good FA group this year. 3. Do you give X more feature time? Or cut bait now? I wouldn’t be surprised if they traded him but I’m willing to bet he gets one more year. Maybe Canales can find a role like Shenault had with McAdoo.  4. Planning the long term/short term on OL Like I said I think Christensen and Nijman are brought back for T with a Day 2 rookie and prayer something sticks. Moton, Hunt, Lewis return ofcourse. Probably resign Corbett as a safeguard at Center but I think they go C in the 1st or 2nd. Wouldn’t be shocked to see Morgan trade to the back end of the 1st to get a solid C and add picks. 5. How do you address LB? I think Rozeboom leaves. Hoping CJ Allen or Sonny Styles is still there is too big of a risk. They probably go get Kaden Elliss or Leo Chenal and pay good money for them. Maybe a guy on Day 3 for depth with Cherelus and Martin-Scott. Also think he takes a swing at Edge, wouldn’t be shocked to see Hendrickson or Oweh here.  6. Do you bank of Chuba bouncing back?    I think Chuba remains Chuba. There are some decent change of pace backs out there this year that will be cheap. Still developing Etienne and Brooks may be healthy. I think it’s Chuba and that crew maybe a veteran that’s not Dowdle. More like Deejay Dallas who was here already once.  I also think Dalton calls it and they get an upgrade at back up. Nobody that would endanger Bryce’s job but somebody that isn’t 55 years old either. Trubisky, Minshew, Pickett, Kyle Allen (yes same one).
