Daniel Jeremiah 2026 NFL mock draft 1.0

[Panthering]

Probably doing this on purpose, riles up the smaller market fanbases and leads to more clicks on his article.... or he's just a stupid person

Only way that'd make any sense is if you go big in FA/trade for a pass rusher. Even then we need a burner/good route runner that can catch and that can be gotten later or in FA

I’m more interested in the players he had outside the first round. It would be crazy of Peter Woods fell lost his first round grade.

I love Tyson. I think he will be fantastic, but would we really pay 3 young WR’s 2nd big money contracts down the road? Seems like a poor allocation of resources in a salary cap word if we plan on keeping TMac and Coker long term.

Glaring needs all over the place. WR is not on the list. 

[Jon Snow]

I would take Lee Hunter over a wr.

Can't go wrong strengthening the DL.  DB would benefit from another wrecking ball that offenses would have to account for...

To be fair, Tyson is a well-rounded route runner, has good speed and great separation.

I think of him as a taller JSN with the same wiggles and ability to play outside or in the slot. He would be a great cherry on top to our young WR corps between TMac and Coker. 

He might not be a burner, but his short area quicks and ability to turn DBs around with ease is appealing. 

Personally, I think it's a luxury pick and hope we go elsewhere. I think Dan and Dave do as well. 

I also think DJ is one of the most respected draft analysts in the league. He has his fingers on the pulse, especially front office whispers, in addition to the draft prospects themselves. He's always been very fair to the Panthers, and IMO, covers them better than the Shultzes and Kipers of the football world. He also went to App St.

Depending on how the board falls, Tyson could technically be seen as BPA at 19. Dude was and still is a top-10 selection despite a rough 2025 season at ASU. Our WR unit is not a complete room yet, so it's not that outragious if we truly are looking BPA. 

Me personally, I want OT, LB, DT or FS at 19. In DJ's scenario, I'd take any of Faulk, Woods, Lomu or Allen. I personally like the Texas LB more than Allen, and think he's a better compliment to Wallace, but Allen does give me Jon Beason vibes, so wouldn't be mad there either.

Great to know, I don't follow college football at all but anything close to JSN would be awesome. Thanks for giving me some players to check out

I see some college Jerry Juedy in the way he moves

What did RAS get us with Fhule and shitterer. Not saying he won't be great but I have heard the term RAS enough in my life

Exactly my point.  It's still a metric that gets scouts/coaches/brass all giddy.  If Styles has plus measurements (he does) and crushes the drills, he might not even last to Dallas at #12.

[panfanman]

This would be horrible for us with most of the players taken after him in the 1st I would have picked.  Proctor or Lomu should have been the undisputed pick here in my opinion.

And somehow the narrative would still be that Bryce has no one to throw to

I would have to be 1000% over the moon about a WR to want take one at 19.
If Tyson is arguably BPA someone would offer us something for pick number 19. 
If he isn’t BPA maybe our guy is sitting there. Win win.
