Trade To Carolinas 9 Spot in Exchange for Their 16th Spot and a 3rd Round Pick!!!

1st Round (16): Devon Still

DT

700101023018_Penn_State_v_Minnesota-420x279.jpg

Height: 6’5″

Weight: 310

Grade: 7.0

Strengths: Ideal height, length and bulk for DL – Has the physical tools to be a two-gap 3-4 DE or a 4-3 DT – Lower body strength allows his to anchor against double teams – Extremely powerful bull-rush – Sheds blocks effectively, uses hands very well – Can penetrate when called upon – Decent lateral quickness – Gets a huge push when he stays low – Nice first step, not as quick as Worthy though – Draws a lot of double teams, which he handles well – Has increased his production as a Senior – Team Captain.

Weaknesses: Not a great array of rush moves, swim and bull is all he has needed – Motor has improved as a Senior, but there is certainly some lackadaisical tape – Will get off balance at times – Occasionally gets too high off the snap and gets blown back by a double team.

Round 2: Brandon Boykin

CB

icon_18321643-420x279.jpg

Height: 5’9 1/4″

Weight: 183

Grade: 7.0H

Hands: 9 1/8″ Arms: 30 3/4″ Wingspan: 73 1/2″

Boykin has crept his way up toward that top tier of corner backs in this years draft. Claiborne, Kirkpatrick and Jenkins are the consensus top CBs in this year’s draft. With so many bunched together after that anyone of them could go higher than expected. Boykin had a tremendous week in Mobile, before breaking his leg in the game.

He probably won’t be working out much before the draft, which usually hurts draft stock. If Boykin’s last impression on scouts was the Senior Bowl then that was a good impression to leave. I could see Boykin being the 4th CB off the board at the top of round two.

Strengths: Explosive athletic player who has returned kicks, carried and caught the ball during his time at Georgia – Could be a plus return specialist, finds holes in return coverage and weaves through them seamlessly – Extremely physical player down at the Senior Bowl who showed he can play press coverage as well as anyone in this draft class – Plays well in zone coverage as well reading the quarterback and reacting quickly with agility and athleticism – Played out of the slot a lot and rarely thrown on – Has legit 4.4 speed – Can turn and run smoothly and has second gear against faster WRs – Showed some ability blitzing out of the slot, gets off the line quickly and generates nice pressure.

Weaknesses: Doesn’t always take the best angle, especially in the running game – small in stature at 5’9 1/4” 183 lbs, but has long arms and wingspan – Doesn’t always attack in the running game – Can improve his tackling – Can come off the snap from the slot with lazy technique, stays too high – Footwork can be raw at times – Not a real ballhawk, but showed off good hands on offense – Suffered leg injury at Senior Bowl.

Round 3:(From Jets): Keenan Robinson

SLB

PRK-03141141685.jpg

Career:

Games: 47

Tackles: 251

TFL: 14.5

Sacks: 4.5

FF: 4

INT’s: 2

Pros:

Good sideline to sideline speed

Sound Blitzer

Great wrap up tackler

Adept at coverage on RB’s

Pretty good in coverage overall

Size teams covet

Cons:

Doesn’t attack the line of scrimmage with the type of ferocity teams desire

Does not force many big plays

Disappears for long periods of time

Does not shed blocks well

Just not productive enough

Like Clint Session, Robinson utilizes great speed and is able to cover lots of ground. He is sound in coverage and stopping runs off tackle and sweeps. He gets engulfed when run at and does not attack the line of scrimmage enough as evident from his lack of tackles for loss. Still he does have tools to work with and can be an effective starter if teams are patient with him and utilize him correctly. 4-3 Scheme teams that value speed such as Colts, Titans, Seahawks, Raiders, Eagles, Vikings, and Saints will look in middle rounds for him.

Round 4: Tommy Streeter

WR

icon_18162018-420x294.jpg

Tommy Streeter, WR, Miami

Panthers IMO will not keep LA, A Edwards, And Tutu..This Leaves Pilares, Smith, Lafell, Gettis, and Room for another Speedy Semi-Project WR with the Talent to be a Potential #1 or Legit 2

Height: 6’4″

Weight: 215

Grade: 6.0I

Strengths: Size/Speed combo – Decent hands – Concentrates well with defenders on him, wins jump balls on fades – decent blocker – Threat to go deep as well as terrific red zone target – works to the ball on deep throws, tracks it well and adjusts – Very raw but with very little tread on his tires from college – Could be a player that improves by leaps and bounds and becomes a #1 type NFL receiver – His potential places his value higher at this point than his production – If he runs a legit 4.4 at the combine, he could shoot up the draft board.

Weaknesses: Experience, really only 1 full season of play – Runs very upright, needs to loosen up a bit to make the sharp cuts needed in the NFL – Route tree is a question, will need to learn how to run some routes – Stamina an issue, was starting to wear down towards the end of the season with nagging injuries, could take him a year or two to contribute for a full season.

Round 5: Matt (McNasty) Reynolds

Matt-Reynolds-OT-BYU.jpg

Matt Reynolds, OT, BYU (Senior)

Height: 6’6″

Weight: 329

Projection: 6.1P (Grading Scale)

Film Room Notes: vs SJSU

http://www.buffalobillsdraft.com/2011/10/film-room-session-byu-v-san-jose-state/

Strengths: Great size and bulk – Very good run blocker – Handles power rushers effectively, anchors well – Solid player for multiple season – Good kid off the field – Comes from a football family – Moves effectively on pulls.

Weaknesses: Could tone up a bit – Doesn’t have the feet to handle elite speed – Unable to mirror quick defenders – May be limited to RT or OG at the NFL level – Relies on his size against over-matched opponents.

eh, not a fan. But to each his own. If Brockers isn't available in the 1st (wherever we end up picking) I wouldn't be upset about getting Still. There's probably a couple other CBs I'd rather get than Boykin (other than the obvious top 3). Like Robinson well enough in the 3rd. Not a fan of Streeter in the 4th, would rather get baby Schwartz there. Or even in the 3rd if they're thinking he won't last. Top 3 picks on defense is definitely understandable, but gotta toss in some O-line prospects earlier than the 5th in my opinion and I'd really like to get Schwartz. Since I'd rather spend our 3rd or 4th pick on OL, I'd look at Bradham or Demario Davis in the 4th or 5th (depending on whether 3rd or 4th was spent on Schwartz). Last two picks get thumbs up.

i'd be ok with it. not a fan of still, but i wouldn't cry over it.

What are your concerns with Still? He looks pretty good, to not to have the same talent around him like Brockers benefits from. Devon looks like he is in more command of his body and very dominant when he decides to rush the passer. I just do not see the same push from Brockers, maybe Im missing something but who knows:troll:

my concerns are his injury past. he has torn an acl, broken an ankle, and missed the senior bowl because of a toe injury.to go along his bowl game was effected by that same toe. i was a fan at one point during the season but after watching his games he just didnt flash like Brockers did.

I really like this draft minus the first pick. If we end up around 16 you have the likes of Cox, Upshaw, Ingram, Kirk, etc...also don't forget about Floyd at WR if we do trade down in the first. That's not out of the realm of possibilities.

    • I can't wait to go through this analysis 
    • What's more likely? An entire competant NFL front office (as many here suggest Morgan runs) has watched Bryce struggle week in and week out to perform at the bare minimum of NFL QBs for 3 years and has decided that's the future of this organization, OR our owner who has proven repeatedly he can't keep his nose out of team decision making has declared Bryce is our QB until he decides otherwise, especially given he's the one that drafted him in the first place? 
    • It is time to take a look at the defense.  Without further ado do.... Edge (OLB):  I think we overpaid for Jaelan Phillips, but he is constant pressure with 73 pressures in 2025, ranking 9th in the NFL.  In all, he was the 20th (of 111) rated pass rushing edge in 2025 according to PFF, putting him in the top 20% in the nfl.  With a pair of solid ILBs beside him and if we can get Wharton going, I think the sum of the parts will make him better than he was in Philly.  Furthermore, with second-year pro Princely Umanmielen behind him, I expect him to grow with the tutoring and competition. On the other side, the duo of Nick Scourton and Patrick Jones II is strong, in my view.  Scourton generated 34 total pressures as a pass rusher. That total included 8 sacks, 23 hurries, 3 hits. Against the run, he recorded 28 solo tackles. For a rookie, second round, edge, that is great.  He also forced 1 fumble on the season. Jones was decent in 2025 in just 131 snaps, but he is solid veteran depth.   We seem to lack the elite pass rusher, but this rotational unit will be a big upgrade over last season.  Expect Scourton and Princely to show improvement. While it is unlikely that we add more to edge this draft, you can never have too many pass rushers (well, you can--two sophomores and two veterans is a good mix). Would the Panthers take an edge if one was sitting there? Absolutely. Defensive End:  Derrick Brown is a stud.  I did not notice how dominant he became as a pass rusher.  His PFF pass-rush grade of 72.0 ranked 23rd among 134 qualified interior defensive linemans. His run-defense grade of 66.3 ranked 22nd at the position. He generated 35 total pressures as a pass rusher. That total included 6 sacks, 23 hurries, 6 hits. On the other side:  What the hell?  Tershawn Wharton earned a 40.8 overall PFF defensive grade in the 2025 season, 127th among 134 qualified interior defensive linemans. His PFF pass-rush grade of 57.0 ranked 95th among 134 qualified interior defensive linemen. His run-defense grade of 34.8 ranked 125th at the position. However, Wharton needs to be situational and we really need a few DEs who can plug and pressure.  LaBryan Ray is an interior defensive lineman for the Carolina Panthers who earned a 45.7 overall PFF defensive grade in the 2025 season.  You cannot tell me that we are not going to add a DE.  In my view, this is a HUGE need that we have not adequately addressed.  There were only 3 DEs in the NFL who played more snaps that Derrick Brown.  We have to give him more blows during the game.  So After Brown, we have 2 other players who need to improve a lot to reach mediocre. Nose Tackle:  Of course, a NT might move out some to help stuff the run at DE opposite Brown, and stats do not always reflect on a NT's actual value.  Bobby Brown III earned a 54.1 overall PFF defensive grade in the 2025 season, 80th among 134 qualified interior defensive linemen.  His PFF pass-rush grade of 51.1 ranked 126th among 134 qualified interior defensive linemans. His run-defense grade of 57.8 ranked 51st at the position.   Behind him, Cam'Ron Jackson is an  earned a 45.5 overall PFF defensive grade in the 2025 season.   The defensive line is weak, based on 2025 performance rankings in PFF.  After DBrown, they pretty much suck.  These are the guys our ILBs will be counting on. Inside Linebacker:  Devin Lloyd earned a 89.1 overall PFF defensive grade in the 2025 season, 3rd among 88 qualified linebackers. His PFF coverage grade of 81.1 ranked 3rd among 88 qualified linebackers. His run-defense grade of 83.2 ranked 11th at the position. His pass-rush grade of 82.2 ranked 5th among qualified linebackers.  He's good.  At the moment, beside him is Trevin Wallace  who earned a 55.9 overall PFF defensive grade in the 2025 season, 57th among 88 qualified linebackers. His PFF coverage grade of 64.5 ranked 25th among 88 qualified linebackers. His run-defense grade of 42.3 ranked 85th at the position. His pass-rush grade of 64.2 ranked 45th among qualified linebackers.  Wallace was best as a coverage LB, and based on my memory, I am not sure he was in the top third, but if PFF says so...however, he was nearly last vs. the run.  We need better to play beside Lloyd.  Bam Morris-Scott earned a 37.6 overall PFF defensive grade. To put that in perspective, I was rated by PFF at 32.3 on my couch.   Cherilus Claudin is the third best ILB on the roster right now. He earned a 59.2 overall PFF defensive grade in just over 200 snaps.  Having lost Rozeboom, the Panthers are very thin behind Lloyd.  Look for a starting-caliber ILB in the draft.  Wallace is not the guy, but he is decent depth. Nickel CB:  Chau Smith-Wade  earned a 57.0 overall PFF defensive grade in the 2025 season, 79th among 114 qualified cornerbacks. His PFF coverage grade of 57.2 ranked 79th among 114 qualified cornerbacks. His run-defense grade of 55.4 ranked 77th at the position.  For a nickel, he played a lot--garnering over 600 snaps.  Corey Thornton was a pleasant surprise, until he was injured.  However, in just 127 snaps, he was very good, earning a 68.5 overall PFF defensive grade.  I think he can play outside in a pinch, but nickel might be his gig.  I am not sold that Nickel is in good hands, but Thornton is promising.  Smith-Wade is average, and with the experience he has accumulated, we are probably not prioritizing Nickel, but there are some good nickels in the draft. Cornerback:  Michael Jackson should have been in the pro bowl.  He earned a 79.1 overall PFF defensive grade in the 2025 season, 4th among 114 qualified cornerbacks. His PFF coverage grade of 80.9 ranked 3rd among 114 qualified cornerbacks. His run-defense grade of 67.2 ranked 36th at the position. He recorded 4 interceptions on the season. Jackson broke up 9 passes in coverage. He allowed a 72.9 passer rating when targeted by opposing quarterbacks --SOLID!!  Our second-best CB, Jaycee Horn, was in the pro bowl.  He earned a 57.8 overall PFF defensive grade in the 2025 season, 76th among 114 qualified corner.backs. His PFF coverage grade of 61.6 ranked 61st among 114 qualified cornerbacks. His run-defense grade of 50.5 ranked 87th at the position.  He recorded 5 interceptions on the season.  Our CBs had NINE interceptions in 2025.  It is doubtful they duplicate that figure, but Jackson was our best CB.   We are thin at CB, but the two we put out there are solid.  Nickel, at this time, is "meh," but both are developing and should improve.  A great draft for Nickel.  The Panthers will add a CB somehow. Safety:  For now, Trevon Moehrig is as advertised--above average vs. the run, below average in coverage, making him average. He earned a 64.3 overall PFF defensive grade in the 2025 season, 50th among 98 qualified safeties. His PFF coverage grade of 55.3 ranked 64th among 98 qualified safeties. His run-defense grade of 73.5 ranked 37th at the position.  Lathan Ransom got some valuable experience in 2025, getting in on 330 plays or so.  He earned a 62.9 overall PFF defensive grade in the 2025 season, 56th among 98 qualified safeties.  (Average, not bad for a day 3 rookie) His PFF coverage grade of 55.8 ranked 63rd among 98 qualified safeties. His run-defense grade of 85.1 ranked 4th at the position.  A pure strong safety, if you ask me.  Nick Scott  earned a 67.8 overall PFF defensive grade in the 2025 season, 36th among 98 qualified safeties. His PFF coverage grade of 67.3 ranked 31st among 98 qualified safeties. His run-defense grade of 69.3 ranked 56th at the position.  Expect a draft pick at FS.  Demani Richardson is a safety for the Carolina Panthers who earned a 71.5 overall PFF defensive grade n 29 plays.  Nothing to see here.  Isaiah Simmons is probably more special teams than defensive player.   Overall:  We are thin on defense.  No real depth at CB, S, and DE/NT.  However, we have 5 starters who are pro bowl level players (D. Brown, Lloyd, Jackson, Horn, and Phillips--and I might throw Scourton in on that pile for the sixth potential pro bowler).  We are weak at NT, and if Wharton does not step up, DE.  Funny, I see Edge as our strength (and we really don't have a sack artist) and I love our starting CBs.  Moehrig is making too much to be average.   Expect:  In the draft, I think we have to draft a DT.  Having done this, I am not sure that we go after a S when we have such glaring needs at other positions.  We could upgrade at nickel and give the CB room more depth.  OLB?  Wallace is decent depth, and he could start in a pinch.   DE is our biggest need.  The answer could be on the roster?
