Round 1: Stephon Gilmore, CB, South Carolina

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2IjKOwUrUI

In the pre-draft press conference this week Coach Rivera said he wanted player that could start

immediately and Gilmore is exactly that player. He has the ideal combination of size and speed

along with long arms. He is terrific in run defense and isn’t afraid to make a hit at the line of

scrimmage. He led the Gamecocks in 2010 in tackles. He is great in zone coverage and press

coverage and is athletic enough to hold his own in man to man. He can immediately start on the

outside and allow Munnerlyn to shift back to the inside where he excels.

Round 2: Devon Still, DT, Penn State

Arguably the most “NFL-ready” of the senior defensive tackles in this years draft, Devon Still

could be another player that immediately jumps into the starting rotation on our line. He is great

against the run due to his ability to get off blocks and fill the run lanes. He can do the same when

rushing the passer but his lack of closing speed and explosiveness leads him to have very few

sacks.

Round 4: Jared Crick, DT/DE, Nebraska

Crick is a versatile and athletic lineman who can play all the positions along the defensive line.

He’s got a huge motor and has sacked the quarterback on pure effort alone. He had a monster

junior year playing next to Suh, and may struggle to get off blocks on his own. He can make an

immediate impact rotating in at DT or spelling our DEs.

Round 5: Danny Trevathan, LB, Kentucky

Trevathan is a pure tackling machine, leading the SEC in tackles the past two years. He is always

around the ball because of his good instincts. He’s an average athlete and could struggle in

coverage at the next level. At minimum he’d make a fantastic special teams player and a good

back up for any of the LB positions.

Round 6a: James Carmon, OT, Mississippi State

James-Carmon-200.jpg

A converted defensive tackle, he has all the size and athletic ability to be a good OT in this

league with the proper coaching on technique. He is a monster at 6’7” and has unreal strength. At

worst, he will be a solid back up. He could be an eventual replacement for any of our linemen.

Round 6b: George Bryan, TE, NC State

813542.jpg

An NFL caliber "on the line Y", he isn't a dynamic pass catching option but has the ability to

make plays underneath and at least threaten the seam and can develop into a great run blocker.

Isn't quite dynamic enough to start in the NFL, but could end up being one of the better reserves

at the position on the next level

Round 7: Greg McCoy, CB, TCU

542232.jpg

Not overly good in coverage, he would be a serviceable backup at best. His real value is as a kick

returner and special teams player.

I actually really like this draft. Fill 2 needs, with two very talented players... I would change the 4th round player.... We already ahve a bunch of DT's and a bunch of DT's..... People for depth here are not exactly what we are looking for.... I would find something else.

Not sure why everyone is hating on Gilmore. Fact is he is a top 15 talent and fills the biggest need we have on the team. I would not really consider this a reach. If you get Still in the 2nd you probably have 2 defensive starters come September. This is not a bad draft at all. I don't think Crick is there in the 4th so I would take Terrel Manning or a return guy then take a punter in the 7th instead of the cbbut this is a pretty good draft weekend if they come out with this kind of talent

Definitely could see it happening like this. Even if Still's not there at 40, which he probably will be, we could get Kendall Reyes.

The only thing I don't like no Punter (I think we're getting either Butler or Anger), and Crick won't be there in the 4th. If you changed that to Joe Adams, Terrell Manning, or Keenan Robinson, it would be very close to what I see happening.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
