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.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tbe · Posted

      Sure, that is possible. That’s what, an extra 55 yards a game on average and 7 more TDs? What if he’s just 15th?  I imagine they would extend him in that situation due to the belief that he’ll keep trending up. maybe a 3 year contract to prove he can be top 10? Sounds like a Tepper plan.
