Nobody knows him dog. He had a highlight catch against an imploding Penn St team. If you talked to your friends, coworkers about that you’d have said, “you see that catch from the Indiana guy Saturday, dayummm”. You wouldn’t have said his name, because you didn’t know it and they damn sure didn’t. Don’t rewrite history and use your brain.

I said weeks ago if you like him that much you gotta take him in the first round. And I wouldn't be mad at it. He has all the traits just not the size.

Get your guy. If they think he is worth it 19, no one else's opinion matters.

This would be ideal but you just never know on draft night if you can find a trade partner 

Too bad Scott Fitterer isn't GM somewhere.

Considering our record of drafting linebackers in the first round, if this organization thinks he's worth a 1st round pick, get him in here.

I wouldn't hate it. I would take him over Sadiq 10 times out of 10.

Agreed.

This is the guy that I believe the Panthers truly want.  He is absolutely worth the pick at 19.

Hell no

..... You sir are high

Im all for just to watch the reactions. Better than the WR options 

[PanthersNCSU]

Yeah there's no chance he's lasting to the 2nd round now it seems like. Not even to the 35ish range, especially not 51. 

If we want him, it very may be 19 or bust. I wouldn't hate it...get your guy. If you're convinced he's legit, he looks like a steal in a year or two. 

[Growl]

I doubt he’s in consideration at 19. He’s probably never going to be a great in the box player and after they just spent money on Devin Lloyd there’s a bit of redundancy. Also a deep LB class, not a premium position, etc. 

Anything could happen in this class but I very credibly doubt that it is this.

Morgan did not kill it in free agency to position himself to take BPA only to draft the 5th best LB at pick #19.  He likes the guy but hes not a value at that pick.  This front office main focus right now is trying to turn Young into an NFL quarterback.  They are going to give him whatever is going to help him and give him every chance to succeed.  A 2nd round graded LB in the 1st does not do that.  Omar Cooper would probably help Bryce more than most.

Makes sense , they have been coddling Young from the get go.

One of my favorite prospects.  Jrod and Lloyd would be a nice combo at ILB.
