CSR: Panthers focusing on DT at Baylor pro day...

Recommended Posts

If the Panthers had already decided to take one of the top DTs in the draft such as Nick Fairley or Marcell Dareus it makes you wonder if they would continue to work out the tier 2 guys. Maybe they are just doing their due diligence but it does seem to suggest as the author points out that the Panthers will try to fill their DT need later in the draft.

Or they are considering trading down. Taylor is supposedly a mid to late first rounder since trimming to 337. 3-4 teams love him as a NT and 4-3 Teams like him too--no way he drops to 65.

We are considering all options. I can tell you that I read speculation that they are interested in Quinn or Peterson in the first, which suggests that they are going to take advantage of depth in the draft at DT, it would seem.

By the way, isnt this about the third draft in a row we swore Hurney would take a top DT?

Taylor is the best DT is the draft. 6'4 350lbs and runs 5.10... I watched him play, that dude got doubled teamed almost every play and still cause chaos in the backfield. He's a true NT. Only problem is... He gets lazy at times and quits on plays...

It would be sweet if we ended up drafting Taylor, never heard anything about him being lazy, not saying your wrong ARSEN, just hate to hear something like that, since we've had a DE that took play's off from time to time. Could you imagine Taylor AND Dareus?!

    • If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
    • I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
    • It is due diligence at that point. Irresponsible not to take him.  Crossing my fingers on this one, he has everything you look for except experience.
