Yea everyone saying Dan Morgan is doing a great job right now hasn’t taken into account he hasn’t replaced by far the worst starter on the roster yet 

Worst player should be the easiest upgrade. I will sweat that later.

I don’t care what position they draft as long as the pick is a starter and immediate contributor. Good teams always hit on their first two rounds and after that, it’s a crap shoot. 

Unless you're year 2 Dan Morgan,  of course

I’ve been watching all the prospects and I’m open to a lot of options at 19. Lots of guys that if we chose I wouldn’t be mad. I started watching Emmanuel McNeil Warren yesterday (Toledo Safety) and he’s my undisputed favorite pick right now for us, especially after our free agency pick ups. He just oozes “Panthers” type of energy. Everyone in our locker room would love him. Also has shades of Kam Chancellor / Derwin James. He is 6’4 and runs a sub 4.5 40. Big hitter 
 

what if we took McNeil Warren at 19, and then went with Jacob Rodriguez OR Eli Stowers with our round 2 pick? Eli Stowers is not much different from Kenyon sadiq. 

I think Dillion Thieneman is better fit. We need range more than we need a big hitter becuase we habve those.  Dillion an amazing fit for us. He also erases the need to draft a nickel corner becuase of his coverage skills.  Big Nickel and would be nasty. Moehrig, Ramson and Thieneman on the field all at once.

That big DT from Ohio State is the way I think we go since Banks is made of tissue paper. This team wants to stop the run first and foremost 

The more I think about it the more I like the idea. Him (Kayden McDonald), Caleb Banks, and Peter Woods all should have 1st round grades and I could see any of them being there at 19. 

Our 2015 D was so damned good because KK and Star were in there throwing people around like they were in a mosh pit.

well he decided not to upgrade the position at all and re-signed Nick Scott 

I hear ya, but... there really isn't a whole lot out there right now that is any better. At least not that I can see. Unless staff sees Ransom as being able to switch to more of a FS role, I'm pretty sure we draft a starter and Scott is the back up. Also, I see him as a solid backup.

I know Banks is expected healthy before training camp from foot surgery but I don’t think I could gamble on a big man with reoccurring foot injuries at 19. If Dan Morgan picks him I’ll assume they have seen enough of his medicals to not be deterred.

Banks is such an enigma, he could be a steal at 19 due to his potential. Or he could be a 325 pound injury prone bust who rarely plays. Dude had one great year in 2024 and has been injured since. Personally I just don’t think you take a risk like that in round 1 especially in a year where we have made clear investments into the defense and nailing one more piece could be the difference between a good and great defense.  Give me Kayden McDonald over Banks he might have a lower ceiling but he is a true Junior and one of the best run defending DT’s I’ve personally ever watched.

I wish we would draft him  but Minnesota is gonna draft him at 18 to replace Harrison smith

      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.
