I'd always look into it. If there's time on the clock and the phone is ringing there's no good reason not to have a conversation. Someone on the other end might be ready to do something stupid. Granted, historically that someone has been us but hey... LOL 

Morgan has done pretty well with trading down. I would be fine with it if the value isn’t there.

What are people’s thoughts on Texas Tech EDGE Howell? Would he be BPA at #19? He is smaller than I thought he was….

Honestly, I don't love taking another edge at 19. They usually take a couple years of development and we just took two in the second. I think we need some vet help in that unit while we keep developing those two.

I wouldn't be mad it... But I think we can find Edge help in free agency. The OT position is gonna be hard to find free agency this year, for that reason, I think we need to look at Proctor or maybe Lomu in the 1st. Now if we get lucky and Styles or even Lemon fall to us, I think we flip a coin and run to the podium!

The thing I like about Bain is that even if he doesn't work out as an edge rusher, he could easily put on 10-15 lbs and be an awesome 4-3 DT or 3-4 DE. I think he is just too good of a player to bust outright. He will be a contributor.

Like everybody else who watched the playoffs, I think Bain is a beast. He was just about unstoppable.

But I didn't watch Miami much throughout the season. Just going off of stats he was somewhat quiet, just two sacks in the first eight games. 

I'm sure he had an impact in other ways, but did he just turn it on in the big games late in the season?

Alot of talk about Jacob Rodriguez being linked to the Panthers. This guy wasn't on my radar, need to take a look at him

Best I know he's a ILB that's in the 2-3 range. Leader etc etc all the buzz words about ILB. I did see some early 1st talk, but that has cooled.

Other urgent needs aside, seeing Dan bear down on finding us LBs worthy of playing for the Panthers, guys that meet the high expectations he must have for that position on this team, I fuging love it. 
 

Edit: he doesn’t buy into the devaluation of that position that I have seen. He said, the other day, that is the guy the DBs are looking at in the huddle, the DL is looking at in the huddle, he  wants a leader there. 
He didn’t use the term QB of the defense, but I will. They have made such a difference to our defense over the years, we just need to find that guy that can be one of the league’s best.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By frankw · Posted

      I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...

      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.
