I agree; Walker isn't nearly as good a prospect as Luke was. Mykel won't be a complete bust, IMO, but I agree with your take that I'm not sure he'll ever be a true impact player either.

Honestly, the only defensive player outside of Carter and Hunter that I feel is a safe projection is Mason Graham. I just feel like if we're going to be taking a risk on an EDGE in the top-10 we should go with the guy with the higher ceiling in Walker.

I would disagree with this and most teams would as well. Ton of teams have him rated similar to Micah Parsons. Also not a chance the Panthers pass him up if he's available.

I think there’s a difference in saying he can be used similarly to Parsons and saying he’s going to be as good as Parsons. If teams thought he was going to be THAT good he’s not falling past #4. I think Walker’s top 5% outcome he could be that good, but it’s far from his median outcome.

My concern is if he spends most of his time as an EDGE he will more or less be historically small to play that spot. Parsons has more length which I think is really important for an EDGE.

So... if I'm reading the tea leaves here it sounds like:

- If we stay at 8 then it is Mason Graham or Mykel Williams (in that order)

- If we trade down in the 1st it would be Mykel Williams, Walter Nolen, or Donovon Ezeiruaku (in that order)

Makes sense, I guess. DL or Edge in the 1st is the focus.

Teams are comparing him to Micah and teams are dumb and don't like taking chances high in a draft. 

 

Walker has longer arms than Micah by half an inch. Walker is two inches shorter but weighs the same as Micah.

The only RB there being Ollie Gordon is very interesting.  Big guy and ran a 4.61 at the combine but looks faster than that in games.  This draft has a plethora of backs to choose from

Don't know him, but you gotta love this:

Strengths

  • Big back with frame and demeanor for volume carries.
  • Gets going downhill without much dancing.
  • Adequate burst with plus tackle-breaking ability between the tackles.
  • Uses stiff-arm and shoulders to batter tacklers in space. 
  • Possesses an insatiable thirst to score when he smells paint.
  • Smooth screen release with natural hands.
  • Capable of handling protection asks with more work.

-Jonas Sanker, S, Virginia 
-Billy Bowman, S, Oklahoma 

I looked at both of these guys and Andreas Keaton in my mock. I see them all going in rounds 3-4. Bowman is my favorite but also the consensus favorite and should go 10-15 picks before either of the others.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By bandu · Posted

      there is one common denominator in the 2003 & 2015 Carolina Panthers teams they both had ELITE top tier Qb play.  it would require a MVP type of season from Bryce Young to have the same type of success that Jake Delhomme had in  2003 & or Cam Newton in 2015 & lead this team to a SuperBowl is this going to happen or is there any reason to believe Bryce Young is capable of playing similar to Jake Delhomme in 2003 or Cam Newton in 2015 ? well no there is no absolutely NO reason whatsoever to believe that this is going to happen in 2026 ..just saying

      Trevin Wallace - One Final Shot...or is Cherelus someone to watch?

      By CmC2k · Posted

      I'd actually like to see Cherelus get a fair shot to win the job in camp. Wallace is decent in drop zone coverage, but he gets abused in the play action game and is often times out of position in the run game. It might just be me, but I swear every time I watch Wallace play, I see multiple plays a game were it looks like he's just trying to be blocked. Watching Cherelus last year he at least looked like he was trying to hit someone on every play. Wallace plays like a LB who doesn't trust what he sees and it makes him passive and cautious versus Cherelus who regardless of if his decision is right or wrong goes at it 100%.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Agreed.  Hasn’t happened to me either, but I feel very strongly about it.  That’s not just one of the worst things a woman could do to a man, it’s a power inherent to only women and is one of the worst things a HUMAN being can do to another.  A man can’t “hide” a pregnancy or maternity.  It’s impossible.  And that sucks for anyone that has to go through that. I always got a weird vibe off her and just found her very unlikeable.  Annoying even.  I’ve always been good at reading people and there was just something about her to me that was off-putting, somewhere under the surface.  And here we are…  she is despicable.
